Several new hexa-coordinated ruthenium(III) complexes of the type [RuX
(EPh3)(LL')] (where X = Cl, Br; E = P, As; HLL'H = H(2)Acac-en, H(2)Bz
ac-en, H(2)Acac-pn and H(2)Bzac-pn) have been synthesised by reacting
[RuCl3(PPh3)(3)], [RuCl3(AsPh3)(3)], [RuBr3(AsPh3)(3)] or [RuBr3(PPh3)
(2)(MeOH)] with tetradentate Schiff bases. The Schiff bases deprotonat
e and behave as binegative tetradentate chelating ligands. All complex
es have been characterised by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spect
ra, EPR and cyclic voltammetric data.
