There is an extensive chemistry

such as tertiary phosphines.

of r u t h e n i u m (II) c o m p o u n d s w i t h l i g a n d s

In particular, the complexes RuXz(PPh3) 3

or 4

(X = CI, Br) (I) are good starting materials for the synthesis of a range of ruthenium (II) c o m p o u n d s still containing triphenylphosphine (Z). In addition, such complexes as [Ru2CI3(PR3)6]CI

(3) and methanolic solutions of

ZRu5CIIz

(4) are excellent precursors for synthesising a wide range of

ruthenium (II) compounds. In contrast, relatively few ruthenium (HI) compounds containing tertiary monophosphines or arsines have been reported. Such compounds include the series m e r - R u X 3 L RuX3(MPh3)zS

the binuclear complexes [RuCI3(PR3)Z] Z and [RuzCI5(PR3)4] (R = Pr n, ]Bun) (8). in order that such a deficiency might be remedied, w e wish in this preliminary communication to report the results of a systematic study of the reactions of R u X 3 ( M P h 3 ) z S ( A ) with s o m e ligands containing carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen donor groups. Five different types of behaviour towards various ligands have been exhibited by A:-
