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)].
