Solution speciation of Rh(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 ), Ru(η 6 ‐ p ‐cymene) and Ru(η 6 ‐toluene) complexes of 2,4‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid (2,4‐dipicH 2 ) was studied and compared to that of 2‐picolinic acid (picH) in addition to their reactivity towards chloride and bromide ions, 1‐methylimidazole and guanosine. Structures of [Rh(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )(2,4‐dipicH)Cl] ⋅ 3H 2 O ( 1 ), 2[Ru(η 6 ‐toluene)(2,4‐dipicH)Cl] ⋅ 3H 2 O ( 2 ) and [Ru(η 6 ‐toluene)(2,4‐dipic)] 3 ⋅ 7H 2 O ( 3 ) were analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. 1 and 2 show typical piano stool geometry, while 3 is a triangular complex stabilized via the monodentate coordination of the second carboxylate group to the neighboring Ru(II) center. High stability [M(arene)L(H 2 O/Cl)] species predominate at pH 7.4. 2,4‐Dipic forms more stable complexes with Ru(η 6 ‐arene) than pic, with this difference being minor in the case of the Rh(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 ) complexes. A lower affinity of 2,4‐dipic complexes to halide ions was found compared to the corresponding pic complexes due to the additional COO − moiety.
