Abstract
A new bridging agent, 4-amino-2-anilinopyridine (aap), was synthesized and used as an equatorial ligand in the preparation of a diruthenium complex (4,0) Ru2(aap)4Cl. Both the ligand and the diruthenium complex were characterized by thermal analysis, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The structural analysis revealed that the complex existed as a (4,0) isomer, in which the amino group on the pyridyl moiety was not involved in chemical bonding. Graphical Abstract
