The hydridoruthenate [(solv)Na][Cp*(iPr2MeP)RuH2] (1; solv = THF or Et2O) provided access to the Ru metallostannylene Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)2RuSnDMP (DMP = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl) (2) and metalloplumbylene Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)2RuPbArTrip2 (ArTrip2 = 2,6-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl) (3) compounds by salt metathesis reactions with the corresponding [ArEX]2 precursors. The Sn complex 2 reacted nucleophilically with MeI to cleanly generate the addition product Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)2RuSnI(Me)DMP (4), while a complex mixture was observed for Pb complex 3. A Ru monohydride synthon generated from 1 also provided access to the chlorostannylene and bromoplumbylene complexes Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)Ru[SnCl(DMP)] (5) and Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)Ru[PbBr(ArTrip2)] (6), respectively.
