Reduction of the [Ru(Cp*)(tmbp)Cl] complex (tmbp = 4,4‘,5,5‘-tetramethyl-2,2‘-biphosphinine) with 1 and 2 equiv of sodium naphthalenide respectively yield a dimeric [Ru(Cp*)(tmbp)] 2 complex and a [Ru(Cp*)(tmbp)][Na(DME) 2 ] complex which were both structurally characterized. Trapping the Ru(0) complex with MeI, Ph 3 SnCl, Me 3 SnCl, or H + affords the corresponding Ru(II) derivatives.
