Abstract

The two title complexes as well as the dimeric complex [Ru (II)(η5-C5H5)(6, 6′-diamino-2, 2′-bipyridine)] 2 (OTf) 2 have been synthesized and characterized by NMR and single- crystal X-ray crystallography. The direct structural comparison of the 2, 2′-bipyridine and 6, 6′-diamino-2, 2′-bipyridine complexes suggests that the electronic and steric environments of the ruthenium centers in both complexes are essentially equivalent, ...
