Abstract
Reactions of [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl2]2 and [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with [Hg(ptpy)2] (Hptpy = 2-pyridyl-m-toluene) in THF afforded [{(η6-C6Me6)Ru(ptpy)}2(μ-Hg2Cl6)] 1 and [(η6-pcymene) Ru(ptpy)(HgCl3)] 2, respectively. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ruthenium atom in both molecules 1 and 2 adopts a pseudo octahedral configuration containing a cyclometalated ptpy ligand. The Ru−C(ptpy) and Ru−N bond lengths in 1 are 2.049(3) and 2.089(2) Å, respectively. The corresponding bond lengths for 2 are 2.025(9) and 2.089(7) Å .
