The carbene-ligand precursors methylenebis(N-alkylimidazolium) iodide (alkyl = methyl, neo-pentyl) and ethylenebis(N-methylimidazolium) chloride have been used in the preparation of several new Ru(II)-p-cymene complexes where the ligand behaves as mono- and bidentate. The molecular structures of the two biscarbene-complexes are reported. From the data reported, we can conclude that steric reasons (mainly the bisimidazolium linkers, methylene/ethylene) are the main factors determining both reactivity and synthetic difficulties of the products reported.
