2-Ammoniobutenynyl Ru-complexes trans-[Cl(dppm)2Ru−C⋮C−C(NR2R‘)CH2]+PF6- (3a−g) have been prepared in a one-pot procedure from cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2], excess butadiyne, and various tertairy amines, whereas 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine binds to the unsaturated carbon ligand via the pyridine nitrogen to give 3h. These results may be rationalized by envoking the butatrienylidene complex trans-[Cl(dppm)2RuCCCCH2]+ as the reactive intermediate. Amine complexes cis-[Ru(dppm)2Cl(NR2R‘)]+ are frequently formed as side products and the 4-dimethylaminopyridine derivative cis-[Ru(dppm)2Cl(4-DMAP)]+ was obtained in high yield in the absence of butadiyne but under otherwise identical reaction conditions. Complexes 3 have been characterized by various spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques including cyclic and square wave voltammetry and, in the case of the NEt3 derivative 3a, also by X-ray crystallography. Most complexes 3 undergo a fully reversible one-electron oxidation at half-wave potentials that depend on the amin...
