Abstract

The reaction of the polymeric species [{RuCl₂(COD)}_x] (1 ; x > 2; COD = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) and hydrazine hydrate in methanol under reflux gave a pale pink solution from which the salt [Ru(COD)(N ₂H₄)₄][BPh₄f]₂.CH ₃OH (2) was isolated on addition of NaBPh4. Treatment of 2 in refluxing acetone in the presence of the ligand benzyl isocyanide give a complex of stoichiometry [Ru(NH₂N=CMe₂)₂(PhCH ₂NC)₄][BPh₄]₂ (3) on the substitution of the labile COD ligand. The two compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR measurements and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The ruthenium in both compounds has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
