Abstract: Solvolysis of the complex [RuCl2(PhNH2)2h(L)], 1, (L= diim=N-phenyl-1,2 benzoquinonediimine) in acetonitrile has been studied. A mixed ligand complex of composition [RuCl(PhNH2)2(CH3CN)(L1)]Cl.H2O, 2, has been isolated and characterized. Lability of Cl in 1, is ascribed to strong trans directing ability of the diimine ligand. The compound, 2, is trans with respect to two PhNH2; Cl and CH3CN occupy relative cis positions. The C-N bond length of the chelate ring and C-C bond length within the quinonoid ring confirm the diimine oxidation state of the bidentate ligand. The Ru-N (diim) lengths are appreciably shorter than the Ru-N(aniline) lengths, indicating Ru(II)dπ → pπ (diim) interaction. Redox as well as spectral properties of the reference complex are reported.
