The hydridoruthenium(II) complex [RuCl(H)(CO)(PPh3)3] 1 reacted with aromatic nitriles at 120°C in the presence of water to give novel N-imidoylimidatoruthenium(II) complexes [RuCl(NH=CRN=CRO)(CO)(PPh3)2] (R = C6H4Me-p 2, Ph 3, or C6H4Me-m 4). In contrast, reaction of o-toluonitrile with 1 gave a small amount of the corresponding N-imidoylimidato complex and a considerable amount of o-toluamide. When 1 was heated at 120°C in a 1:1 mixture of an amide R1CONH2 and a nitrile R2CN a cross-linked N-imidoylimidato complex [RuCl(NH=CR2N=CR1O)(CO)(PPh3)2] 6 (R1 = Ph, R2 = C6H4Me-p) or 7 (R1 = C6H4Me-p, R2 = Ph) was obtained. Single-crystal structure analyses of 2 and 6 have been performed.
