A series of arenecyclopentadienyl complexes, i.e., [Ru(eta(5)-C(5)R(5))(eta(6)-arene)](+) (1, R = H, arene = C6H6; 2, R = Me, arene = C6H6; 3, R = H, arene = C(6)H(3)Me(3); 4, R = Me, arene = C(6)H(3)Me(3); 5, R = H, arene = C(6)Me(6); 6, R = Me, arene = C(6)Me(6)) was studied by cyclic voltammetry. These compounds are capable of both oxidation and reduction. The reduction potential values depend on the number of methyl groups in the complex. Reduction of benzene complexes 1 and 2 by sodium amalgam in THF leads to the formation of decomplexation products, the addition of hydrogen to benzene, and dimerization of the benzene ligands. Both chemical and electrochemical reductions of mesitylene complexes 3 and 4 result in dimeric products [(eta(5)-C(5)R(5))Ru(mu-eta 5:eta 5-Me(3)H(3)C(6)C(6)H(3)Me(3))Ru(eta(5)-C(5)R(5))] (14, R = H; 15, R = Me). The action of sodium amalgam on compound 5 gives products of hydrogen addition to both hexamethylbenzene (17) and cyclopentadienyl (18) ligands along with the major product, the dimer [(eta(5)-C5H5)Ru(mu-eta(5):eta(5)-Me(6)C(6)C(6)Me(6))Ru(eta(5)-C5H5)] (16). In contrast to 5, its permethylated analog 6 is only capable of adding hydrogen to the hexamethylbenzene ligand.
