Abstract
Reaction of the complexes Ru(CO)2Cl2L [L = 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)] with trifluoromethanesulphonic acid under carefully controlled conditions yields Ru[cis-(CO)2] [cis-(O3SCF3)2] (bidentate complexes. From reactions of the trifluoromethanesulphonates with the appropriate bidentate ligands, the new complexes [cis-Ru(CO)2-L(L′)]2+ (L as above; L′ = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl or 4,4′-diisopropyl-2,2′-bipyridyl) as well as the known [cis-Ru(CO)2L2]2+ and [cis-Ru(CO)2bpy(phen)]2+ have been prepared.
