The complex (1) is obtained from , 1,2-(NH2)2C6H4 and KOH dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water; its X-ray structure and properties are described.Substitution derivatives of this complex are obtained by reaction of 1 with P donors to give (L = PEt3 (2), P(OEt)3 (3)> and (4) , and their spectroscopic properties are reported.Attempted reactions of 1 with CO or dppm were unsuccessful and the starting complex were recovered unchanged.
