Abstract
The use of a blue solution of RuII in methanol as a starting material for the preparation of ruthenium complexes has been investigated, with various ligands, e. g. amines, nitriles, azobenzene, thiols, tertiary phosphines, and carbon monoxide, and olefins; some 28 new complexes have been characterised.
