To construct electronically and sterically anisotropic reaction sites of dinuclear cluster, mixed-ligand diruthenium pentahydrido complexes [Cn*Ru(μ-H) 3 Ru-(H) 2 (PR 3 ) 2 ] + (Cn* = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane; R = Cy (3a), i Pr (3b), cyclopentyl (Cyp, 3c)) were synthesized by the reaction of [Cn*RuH(H 2 ) 2 ] + (1) with Ru-(H) 2 (H 2 ) 2 (PR 3 ) 2 (R = Cy (2a) i Pr (2b), Cyp (2c)). The treatment of 3a−c with KH afforded the corresponding neutral tetrahydrido complexes Cn*Ru(μ-H) 3 RuH(PR 3 ) 2 (R = Cy (4a), i Pr (4b), Cyp (4c)). The structures of 3 and 4 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. Introduction of the Cn* ligand into the cluster increased the electron density at the Cn*ligated metal center and significantly stimulated reactivitiy toward molecular nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Complexes 3a−c reacted with molecular nitrogen to produce the terminal dinitrogen complexes [Cn*Ru(N 2 )(μ-H) 2 RuH(PR 3 ) 2 ] + (R = Cy (5a), i Pr (5b), Cyp (5c)), which readily underwent dimerization to form the bridging dinitrogen complexes [(μ-N 2 ){RuCn*(μ-H) 2 RuH(PR 3 ) 2 } 2 ] 2+ (R = i Pr (6b), Cyp (6c)), through the liberation of N 2 . Cationic complexes 3a−c reacted with CO 2 to produce the bridging formato complexes [Cn*Ru(μη 1 :η 1 -O 2 CH)(μ-H) 2 Ru(H 2 )(PR 3 ) 2 ] + (R = Cy (7a), i Pr (7b), Cyp (7c)), whereas neutral 4a−c reacted with CO 2 to form the carbonyl complexes [Cn*Ru(CO)(μ-H) 2 RuH(PR 3 ) 2 ] + (R = Cy (9a), i Pr (9b), Cyp (9c)), via cleavage of the CO bond.
