Abstract

Ruthenium(II) complexes containing the bidentate imidazole-based ligands (MeN2H2C3)2CO L1, (MeN2H2C3)2CHOH L2 and (MeN2H2C3)2CH2 L3 (where 1-MeN2H2C3 = 1- methylimidazol-2-yl), [Ru(PPh3)2H(CO)L1]Cl 1, [Ru(PPh3)2H(CO)L2]Cl 2 and [Ru(PPh3)2H(CO)L3]Cl 3, were synthesized by the reaction of L1–L3 with [Ru(PPh3)3H(Cl)(CO)] in toluene. The complexes were characterised by NMR spectroscopy and the crystal structures of [Ru(PPh3)2H(CO)L1]BF4 4 and [Ru(PPh3)2H(CO)L2]OH 5 determined.
