Abstract

A series of 15 different metal-arene-complexes of the general formula [M(arene)(azole)

2Cl]Cl and [M(arene)(azole)Cl

2], where M = Ru (1-4), Os (5-8), Rh (9-12) or Ir (13-15), arene = η

6-p-cymene or 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and azole = 1-Me-imidazole, 1H-pyrazole, 1H-benzimidazole or morpholine, has been synthesized under microwave conditions. The reaction time was dramatically reduced from several hours to a few minutes, accompanied by smaller solvent amounts and - in some cases - an increased yield. The organometallic complexes have been characterized by standard analytical methods, the reaction conditions have been optimized and the solid state structures of several examples are reported. The obtained organometallic complexes can be utilized as building blocks for potential metallodrugs or catalysts.
