A series of nitrido-ruthenium(VI) and -osmium(VI) complexes containing chelating di-, tri- and tetra-anionic ligands was synthesized by ligand substitution reaction in methanol under room conditions in the presence of 2,6-dimethylpyridine. All the newly prepared complexes are air-stable diamagnetic solids. The crystal structures of seven complexes have been established by X-ray crystallography. The Ru≡N (1.615-1.594 A) and the Os≡N (1.612-1.621 A) bond distances are rather insensitive to the electron-donating power of the auxiliary ligands. All the nitridoruthenium(VI) complexes react spontaneously with triphenylphosphine, and the intermediate [RuIV(N=PPh3)-L1(py)Cl] has been isolated and characterized spectroscopically for the reaction with [RuVIN(L1)Cl]. However, for those nitridoruthenium(VI) complexes bearing the tri- (L2)3- and tetra-anionic (L3,4)4- ligands, the phosphiniminatoruthenium(IV) intermediate undergoes further reaction with pyrazole to generate a bis(pyrazole)ruthenium(IV) complex as the product.
