Treatment of trans-[RuCl2(P-P)(2)] (P-P=4-membered chelate diphosphine) wit
h 2 equiv. of AgOTf in 1,2-dichloroethane gave labile complexes formulated
cis-[Ru(OTf)(2)(P-P)(2)], which readily undergo ligand substitution reactio
ns with neutral or anionic ligands to give cis[Ru(L)(2)(P-P)(2)](2+) or [Ru
X2(P-P)(2)]; these have been characterised by P-31{H-1} and H-1 NMR spectro
scopy, FAB mass spectrometry and tin some cases) X-ray crystallography. (C)
