Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of binuclear ruthenium complexes [{(η 6-C 6H 6)Ru} 2(μ-bsh) 2] ( 1), [{(η 6-C 10H 14)Ru} 2(μ-bsh) 2] ( 2), [{(η 6-C 6Me 6)Ru} 2(μ-bsh) 2] ( 3), and rhodium complex [{(η 5-C 5Me 5)RhCl} 2(μ-bsh)] ( 4) (bsh= N, N ′-bis(salicylidine)-hydrazine dianion) are reported. The complexes have been fully characterized by analytical and spectral techniques and unusual coordination mode of the ligand H 2bsh has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis of the complex 2. Structural data revealed extensive inter- and intra-molecular C–H⋯O and C–H⋯π interactions and involvement of methyl and isopropyl hydrogen from the p-cymene in hydrogen bonding.
