The preparation and characterization of a range of phenyl complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported.For many of the complexes there is a substantial barrier to rotation of the phenyl ligand about the metal-phenyl bond, and n.m.r. studies have shown how the rate of rotation is affected by changes in the ligands in the complexes.Reaction of complexes with phosphorus or arsenic ligands L provides a convenient route to : 31P and 13C n.m.r. studies have demonstrated the sequence of steps involved and the stereochemistry of the intermediates, showing the influence of the trans-labilizing and trans-directing effects of the phenyl ligand.

Whereas HgR2 (R=methyl or aryl) converts trans-(Ru(CO)2Cl2(PMe2Ph)2) exclusively into (Ru(CO)2R(Cl)(PMe2Ph)2) and does not react with cis-(Ru(CO)2Cl2(PMe2Ph)2), LiR reacts with either isomer to yield (Ru(CO)2R2(PMe2Ph)2) and also catalyses conversion of the trans isomer into the cis.The initial attack by R- is belived to be on a carbonyl ligand.Treatment of (Ru(CO)2R(Cl)(PMe2Ph)2) with LiR' yields mixed complexes (Ru(CO)2R(R')(PMe2Ph)2).In all cases the two organic ligands are mutually cis.The dimethyl complex undergoes reversible carbonylation to form mono- and di-acetyl complexes, and (Ru(CO)2Me(Ph)(PMe2Ph)2) also forms an acetyl coplex, but aryl ligands are unaffected by treatment with CO.
