“…[51] The most striking difference between the X-ray structures of 1b and 1c and those previously reported is a significantly increased distance between the η 5 -dienyl unit and the Ru [centroid C2C3C4C5C6-Ru1 in 1b, 1.728(2) Å] compared with in, for example, [(η 5 -C 6 H 7 )Ru(L)] + [L = N-methyl-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, 1.668 Å], [57] which indicates that the bonding of the cyclohexadienyl skeleton to ruthenium in 1b and 1c is weaker than in previously reported structures with auxiliary tridentate chelate N ligands.
