Abstract:Herein we report the preparation of a series of Ru(II) complexes featuring alpha-iminopyridine ligands bearing thioether functionality (NNS<sup>R</sup>, where R = Me, CH<sub>2</sub>Ph, Ph). Metallation using (<i>p</i> cymene)RuCl dimer permits access to (k<sup>2</sup>-N,N)Ru complexes in which the thioether moiety remains uncoordinated. In the presence of a strong field ligand such as acetonitrile or triphenylphosphine, the p-cymene moiety is displaced, and the l… Show more
