Item Synthesis and X-ray studies of ruthenium(II) complexes containing hydrazine and benzyl isocyanide ligands(Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2013-07-24) Owalude, Samson O.; Odebunmi, Ezekiel O.; Eke, Uche B.; Meijboom, Reinout; Nesterov, Vladimir N.; Singleton, Eric; Coville, Neil J.The reaction of the polymeric species [{RuCl2(COD)}x] (1 ; x > 2; COD = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) and hydrazine hydrate in methanol under reflux gave a pale pink solution from which the salt [Ru(COD)(N2H4)4][BPh4]2.CH3OH (2) was isolated on addition of NaBPh4. Treatment of 2 in refluxing acetone in the presence of the ligand benzyl isocyanide give a complex of stoichiometry [Ru(NH2N=CMe2)2(PhCH2NC)4][BPh4]2 (3) on the substitution of the labile COD ligand. The two compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR measurements and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The ruthenium in both compounds has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
