Abstract
The reagent Me3Si-L is versatile for conversion of M-Cl bonds into met al-imidazolates. Reactions with RuCl3 and [Ru(Ph3E)2Cl3(MeOH)] yield [ RuClL2] and [Ru(Ph3E)2L3] (E = P or As; L = imidazolate, Iz or 2-methy limidazolate, MeIz) respectively, whereas [Ru(Ph3P)3Cl2] affords [Ru(P h3P)2L2]. The stoichiometry of the compounds is consistent with the ob served analytical data. The i.r. and U.V.-visible spectroscopic, condu ctivity and magnetic susceptibility measurement data indicate oligomer ization with imidazolate bridging via the pyridyl nitrogen resulting i n stable octahedral configurations around the ruthenium ion.
