Abstract

New N,N′-dimethylbenzamidine ligands bearing para-Br (HDMBA-Br) and para-I (HDMBA-I) substituents were prepared and crystallographically characterized. The ligand exchange reaction between Ru2(OAc)4Cl and HDMBA-X (X = Br and I) afforded the new Ru2(III) compounds, namely Ru2(DMBA-X)4Cl2, in excellent yields. These new compounds were also characterized with cyclic voltammetric and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.
