The title complexes [Ru(N—P)2(O—O)] (N—P = (8-diphenylphosphino)quinoline, O—O = dianion of oxalate (1), malonate (2) or 1,1-cyclobutandicarboxylate (3)), are prepared from [Ru(N—P)2Cl2] by a reaction with potassium salt of oxalate, malonate, or cyclobutandicarboxylate, respectively. All the complexes have distorted octahedral structures. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space groups P21/c. On the other hand, complexes 2 and 3 crystallizes in the triclinic system with the space group P-1. The UV-Vis spectra of the three complexes
are modeled using time dependent density function theory (TD—DFT).
Keywords: 8-diphenylphosphinoquinoline, ruthenium complexes, oxalate, malonate, 1,1-cyclobutandicarboxylate
