Tethered arene-ruthenium complexes [RuCl2{η1:η6-Me2P(CH 2)3C6H5}], [RuCl2{η1:η6-Ph2PCH 2SiMe2C6H5}] and [RuCl2{η1:η6-Ph2P(CH 2)3(aryl)}] (aryl=2,4,6-C6H2Me3, C6Me5) have been prepared by thermal displacement of methyl o-toluate from the appropriate P-donor derivatives of [RuCl2(η6-1,2-MeC6H4CO 2Me)]2 and their structures determined by X-ray studies. The tethered complexes undergo reversible one-electron oxidation by cyclic voltammetry; the half-wave potentials are in the range 1.10-1.34 V versus AgAgCl and decrease with increasing methyl substitution on the arene.

Synthesis and structure of a chelating arene-ruthenium complex [RuCl2(PPh2(CH2)3-η 6-C6H5)]
Smith, Paul D.,Wright, Anthony H.
, p. 141 - 147 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of an arene-phosphine ligand, Ph2P(CH2)3Ph, has provided a route into a new chelating arene-phosphine-ruthenium complex, [RuCl2(PPh2(CH2)3-η 6-C6H5)] which has been structurally characterized. This complex can be made by thermolysis of [(η6-MeC6H4CHMe2)RuCl 2(PPh2(CH2)3Ph)] or electrochemically utilizing the formation of the labile seventeen-electron ruthenium(III) species [(η6-MeC6H4CHMe2)RuCl 2(PPh2(CH2)3Ph)]+ which can be converted in good yield into [RuCl2(PPh2(CH2)3-η 6-C6H5)].
