Summary
The RuIII complex [RuCl2(acac)(acacH)] (acacH = acetylacetone) was isolated in high yield by reacting RuCl3 with acacH. The compound was used as a convenient starting material for the synthesis of a variety of RuIII complexes, viz. [RuCl2(acac)L2] (L = PPh3, AsPh3, py, MeCN, Me2SO, o-phenylenediamine; L2 = phen or bipy) and M2[RuCl4(acac)] (M = Me4N, Rb or Cs). The compounds were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods.
