Novel ruthenium−amidinate complexes, (η 6 -C 6 H 5 R)Ru(η 2 -amidinate)X (R = Me, OMe, F) ( 4 ) and [Ru(η 2 -amidinate)(MeCN) 4 ] + PF 6 - ( 5 ) are synthesized by photochemical displacement of the benzene ligand in (η 6 -C 6 H 6 )Ru(η 2 -amidinate)X ( 3 ) by arenes or MeCN. The acetonitrile ligands of 5 are easily replaceable by other σ-donor ligands (L) such as pyridines, phosphines, and isocyanides to afford the corresponding derivatives, [Ru(η 2 -amidinate)(MeCN) n (L) 4 - n + ]PF 6 - ( n = 1 or 2).
