Trans-dichloro-piperazine-bis(ether-phosphine)ruthenium(II) complex of general formula Cl2Ru(h1-Ph2PCH2CH2OCH3)2(C4H10N2) 2 was made available in good yield through treating equimolar amounts of Cl2Ru(PÇO)2 complex 1 with piperazine as co-ligand. The hemilability ring open reaction of ether-phosphine in complex 1 to prepare complex 2 was monitored by 31P-NMR. The structure of complex 2 was confirmed byelemental analysis, IR, 31P-NMR 1H-NMR,13C-NMR, FAB-MS and UV-visible spectroscopy.

Preferred Abstract (Original):
The ligands exchange of the ether-phosphine (Ph2PCH2CH2OCH3) on the diamine(ether-phosphine)ruthenium(II) with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane as a bidentate chelate ligand successfully occurs to produce diamine[1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]ruthenium(II) complexes in a good yields under vigorous stirring for one week in an inert atmosphere using dichloromethane as solvent. Several ether-phosphine-RuC12 complexes with different types of diamine have been tested to confirm the substitution method. In order to collect more information about the system 31P{1H} NMR and 13C{1H} NMR as well as FAB- Mass spectroscopy have been investigated in parallel way to control and support the ligands exchange reaction processes.

Preferred Abstract (Original):
The preparation of new three trans-[RuCl2(dppb)(N–N)] with mixed diamine (N–N) and 1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) ligands, starting from RuCl2(PPh3)3 as precursor is presented. The complexes are characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C and 31P{1H}NMR, FAB-MS, TG/DTA and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complex (2L1) crystallizes in the monoclinic unit cells with the space group P21. The catalysts are evaluated for their Cinnamic aldehyde hydrogenation. The catalysts show excellent activity and selectivity for the unsaturated carbonyl compound under mild conditions.
