[(p-Cymene)Ru(4,4′-dhbpy)Cl]Cl was prepared
via modification of a previously reported synthesis for an analogous
compound.15 (link) [(p-Cymene)RuCl2]2 (0.327 g, 0.53 mmol) and 4,4′dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine
(0.201 g, 1.06 mmol) were added to 20 mL acetonitrile and degassed
for 20 min prior to refluxing for 4 h under nitrogen atmosphere. During
reflux a yellow precipitate formed. Upon cooling, the solution was
filtered, and the product was rinsed several times with acetonitrile.
The crude product was then dissolved in methanol and the solution
was filtered to remove any undissolved material. The product was reprecipitated
using diethyl ether. The yield was 0.479 g (90.7%).
