using 4089 observed (I\3|(I)) reflections and 343
variable parameters. The standard deviation of an ob-
servation of unit weight was 1.85. Calculations were

7.5. Synthesis of [RuCl(p-cymene)(s2-tripm)][SbF6]
To
a
solution of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 (30 mg,
0.050 mmol), tripm (25 mg, 0.10 mmol), and freshly
distilled CH2Cl2 (20 ml) was added AgSbF6 (34 mg,
0.10 mmol). The solution was stirred at room tempera-
ture in the absence of light for 30 min. It was then
filtered through Celite to yield a clear bright yellow
solution. The solvent was reduced in vacuo and hexanes
were added. A precipitate formed and was filtered and
washed with hexanes and dried in vacuo to yield a
yellow solid, which was recrystallized from CH2Cl2–
hexanes. Yield: 61 mg (80%). 1H NMR (CD2Cl2): l

8. Conclusions
Dipm (1) and tripm (2) can be successfully synthe-
sized in moderate yield. The crystal structure of
[RuCl(h6-p-cymene)(k2-tripm)]SbF6 (3) suggests the
presence of an unusual intramolecular CꢀH···N hydro-
gen bond between the cymene CꢀH and pyrimidine N.
IR data for Mo(CO)4(dipm) suggest that dipm has a
Tolman electronic effect close to that of a pair of PPh3
ligands. The MꢀL bonding may not be as strong as in
tripyridylamine because the k2-form of tripm is appar-
ently the common binding mode, as in [RuCl2(PPh3)2-
(k2-tripm)], unlike the tripyridylamine analogue 2b,
[RuCl2(PPh3)(k3-tripyam)], which is k3-bound. Reso-
nance stabilization of the k2-form, together with the
weaker s-donor character of tripm versus tripyridyl-
amine, is thought to be responsible.

Acknowledgements
To a solution of RuCl2(PPh3)3 (1.6 g, 1.68 mmol) in
dry degassed methanol (30 ml) was added tripm (0.58 g,
2.5 mmol). The stirred solution was refluxed for 15 h.
After cooling, the resulting orange precipitate was
filtered, washed with MeOH (10 ml), and ether (10 ml)
and dried in vacuo. Recrystallization from CH2Cl2–

The crystal data are reported in Table 1. A crystal of
3 was mounted on a glass fiber and data collected at
−90° on an Enraf–Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer with
graphite-monochromated Mo Ka radiation and the
ꢀ–2q scan technique. The space group was based on
the systematic absences and the successful refinement.
Of the 5701 reflections collected, 5387 were unique
(Rint=0.181). The intensities of three representative
reflections were measured after every 60 min and re-
mained constant. The linear absorbtion correction was
18.1 cm−1, but azimuthal scans of several reflections
indicated no need for an absorption correction. The
data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization ef-
