Spectroscopic and crystallographic studies show that 2-(N-(2-pyridyl)carbamoyl)pyridine (HL) in both its neutral and deprotonated forms, coordinates ruthenium(II) via the amidato- and pyridine-nitrogen atoms thereby forming five-membered rings. In neutral [Ru(HL)(PPh3)2Cl2], HL exists as a zwitterion and the molecular structure is stabilised, in part, by an intramolecular Cl···N interaction. Reaction of the title complex with bidentate chelating ligands leads to the replacement of two chlorides by the bidentate ligands, resulting in the formation of the mixed-ligand complexes. There is deprotonation of the zwitterionic HL in the mixed-ligand complexes.
