The syntheses, chemical and structural characterizations of binuclear ruthenium(I) 'sawhorse' complexes were discussed. It was found that in both phases of (I), [Ru(PhCO2)(CO)2(py)]2, one binuclear molecule had the asymmet

A facile and benign synthesis of binuclear ruthenium(i) sawhorse complexes

Polymeric dicarbonylclichlororuthenium(n) [Ru(CO)2Cl2]z is reduced by reaction with carboxylate salts (RCO2 Na+) in alcoholic suspension. Dimeric ruthenium(i) sawhorse complexes [Ru(RCO2)(CO)2L]2 (R = Me, Et, Bu', Ph) are formed on the addition of a monodentate ligand, L [L = pyridine (py) or 3-methylpyridine (Mepy)J. Characterisation of [Ru(MeCO2)(CO)2(py)]2> [Ru(MeCO2)(CO)2(Mepy)]2, [Ru(EtCO2)(CO)2(py)]2, [Ru(Bu'CO2)(CO)2(py)]2 and [Ru(PhCO2)(CO)2(py)]2 by IR and 'H NMR spectroscopy is reported. Structural elucidation by single crystal X-ray diffraction was achieved in each case revealing a dicarboxylate bridged diruthenium(i) complex with cisoid carbonyls and pyridine ligands approximately collinear with the ruthenium-ruthenium bond.
