Abstract:
The mononuclear chelated complex RuCl(Cp)(η2-dppa)] has been synthesised and reacted with Rh2Cl2(CO)4] to form the heterobimetallic complex (Cp)Ru(μ-CO)2{(μ-Ph2PN(H)PPh2}RhCl2]. Complexes of RuCl(Cp){(PPh2)2CHCH2PPh2}] have been reacted with Rh2Cl2(CO)4] or RhCl(CO)2(p-toluidene)]. Characterisation of these new ruthenium complexes was carried out using 31P-NMR, FAB mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and IR spectrophotometry.
