The use of (cyclo-octadiene)(cyclo-octatriene)ruthenium(0) as the starting material for the synthesis of mono- and poly-nuclear ruthenium polyhydride phosphine complexes

Abstract
Ru(cod)(cot)(cod = 1-2 : 5-6-η-cyclo-octadiene; cot = 1-2 : 3-4 : 5-6-η-cyclo-octatriene) has been shown to be an efficient starting material for the synthesis of a number of ruthenium (0) and ruthenium hydiride phosphine complexes; with monophosphies Ru(cod)(cot) L [L = P(Ome)3, Pme3], the dinuclear complex RuH4L2(L = Pcy3, cy = cyclohexyl) have been obtained whereas with diphosphines, the ruthenium (0) dinuclear complex Ru2(cod)2(cot)(dppm)2(dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2), the hydrido trinuclear complex [RuH2(dppm)2]3, and RuH2(dppe)2(dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) are produced.
