Synthesis and characterization of nitrosyl complexes containing 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine-2-thiolato ('SpymMe2') as ligand: [Ru('SpymMe2',-N,-S) ('SpymMe2',-S)(NO)(P-P)](PF6) (P-PÂ =Â 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane or 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene

The reaction products of fac-[RuCl3(NO)(P-P)], [P-P = dppe (1) and c-dppen (2)] with the 4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine ligand in methanol are the correspondent nitrosyl derivatives [Ru('SpymMe2',-N,-S)('SpymMe2',-S)(NO)(P-P)](PF6).
