Abstract

The reactions of a range of Ru(II) complexes with the anionic alkoxy di-N-heterocyclic carbenes M[OCPh(CH2{1-C[NCHCHNBut]})2] (ML; M = Ag, Tl) yield a mixed carbene−imidazolium complex of ruthenium(II), [Ru(p-cymene)[OCPh(CH2{1-C[NCHCHNBut]})(CH2{1-CH[NCHCHNBut]}Cl)]Cl, and the first trivalent ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene complex, [RuCl2(PPh3)(L)], in this case stabilized by the two bound carbene groups.
