Ru(II) complexes with diazabutadiene (R-DAB) ligands have been prepared. The reaction of RuCl3·nH2O with P(p-tolyl)3 gave a [RuCl2{P(p-tolyl)3}] precursor, whose reactions with R-DAB in toluene gave dinuclear trichloro-bridged Ru(II) complexes [Ru2Cl3(P(p-tolyl)3)2(R-DAB)2](BF4) which have been char...
