Reactions of [Ru(bpy)(CO)2Cl2] in concentrated HCl/HNO3 solutions at high temperatures were studied. In acidic solutions carbonyl groups are lost and replaced by chlorine and nitrosyl, nitrido or water ligands. Formation of [Ru(bpy)Cl3(NO)] and (Ru2N(bpy)2Cl5(H2O)] was time-dependent; with shorter reaction times ( a new crystalline nitrido-bridged complex[Ru2N(bpy)2Cl5(H2O)] (2) was produced, most probably via a nitrosyl intermediate. Both 1 and 2 are practically insoluble and highly stable. However, the reaction of [Ru(bpy)(CO)2Cl2] in HCl/HNO3 solution with small amounts of [Ru(bpy)Cl3(NO)] added gave in low yield another nitrido-bridged product, (H5O2)[Ru2N(bpy)2Cl6] (3). The role of added [Ru(bpy)Cl3(NO)] in this reaction is unclear, and it is possible that (3) may also form directly from pure [Ru(bpy)(CO)2Cl2]. Crystal structures of fac(Cl)-[Ru(bpy)Cl3(NO)], mer(Cl)-[Ru(bpy)Cl3(NO)], [Ru2N(bpy)2Cl5(H2O)], and (H5O2)[Ru2N(bpy)2Cl6] showed that the ruthenium atoms are octahedrally coordinated in all complexes.
