                                    The [RuCl2(eta(6)-arene)](2) complex reacts with PPh2R (R = H, Py, CH2Py, C=CPh, C=C'Bu and C=Cp-Tol) ligands in CH2Cl2 to give neutral P-coordinated ruthenium(II) complexes [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2R]. The structure of [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2H] and [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2Py] complexes has been established by X-ray diffraction. The neutral P-coordinated complexes [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2Py] and [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2CH2Py] react with NaBF4 in CH2Cl2-MeOH mixture to give [RuCl(eta(6)-p-cymene)PPh2Py]BF4 and [RuCl(eta(6)-p-cymene)PPh2CH2Py]BF4 complexes, in which PPh2Py and PPh2CH2Py act as bidentate ligands. The structure of [RuCl(eta(6)-p-cymene)PPh2Py]BF4 was determined by X-ray diffraction. The reaction of [RuCl2(eta(6)-arene)](2) with PPh2C=CPPh2 led to the [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2)PPh2C=CPPh2 complex, in which the diphosphine ligand bridges two [RuCl2(p-cymene)] units. [RuCl2(p-cymene)PPh2Py] and [RuCl(eta(6)-p-cymene)PPh2Py]BF4 are suitable catalyst precursors for the hydrogenation of styrene and phenylacetylene. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
