Abstract

Two imidazolidin ruthenium complexes, [RuCl2{[N-(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzyl)-N-(n-butyl)]-imidazolidin-2-ylidene}], 1, and [RuCl2{[N-(2,4,6-trimethyl-benzyl)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)]-imidazolidin-2-ylidene}], 2, have been synthesised and their crystal structures have been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Compound 1 is monoclinic, of space group C2/c with a = 18.466(4) Å, b = 14.816(3) Å, c = 15.413(3) Å, β = 118.067(2)∘, and V = 3720.9(12) Å3 with Z = 8 for dcalc = 1.536 g/cm3. Compound 2 is monoclinic, of space group P21/c with a = 8.1800(5) Å, b = 14.344(8) Å, c = 14.809(9), β = 91.604(10)∘, and V = 1736.7(18) Å3 with Z = 4 for dcalc = 1.653 g/cm3. In each complex the ligand functions as an arene and carbene, occupying four coordination sites. The two chlorines in each compound complete a distorted octahedron.
