                                Protonation of [(R)CnRuH(L)(L')](+) ((R)Cn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane; L,L' (PPh3)(2), dppe, and CO,PPh3) produced the corresponding dicationic dihydrogen complexes [(R)CnRU(H-2)(L)(L')](2+). Protonation of TpRuH(dppe) (Tp=hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato) yielded the new monocationic dihydrogen complex [TpRu(H-2)(dppe)](+). The acidity of the dihydrogen complexes [(R)CnRU(H-2)(L)(L')](2+) and monocationic dihydrogen complexes [TpRu(H-2)(L)(L')](+) (L,L'=dppe, (PPh3)(2), CH3CN,PPh3, and CO,PPh3) has been studied. It was found that the dicationic complexes are more acidic than their monocationic Tp and Cp counterparts. [(Me)CnRu(H-2)(CO)(PPh3)](2+) was found to be more acidic than [(H)CnRu(H-2)(CO)(PPh3)](2+), probably due to the stronger H-H interaction in the latter complex. It is also noted that triazacyclononane and hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato dihydrogen complexes with pseudo aqueous pK(a) values well above that of H3O+ can be deprotonated by H2O to form the corresponding monohydride complexes in organic/aqueous mixed solvents. It is believed that deprotonation of the dihydrogen ligands in these complexes is assisted by strong solvation of H+ by H2O.
