Abstract: Protonated N-(ruthenocenylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane(1) and N, N′, N″-tris-(ruthenocenylmethyl)-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane(2) were prepared and characterized. The structure of 2 was determined by X-ray crystallographic method. The crystal belongs to P21/a space group and cell parameters are a = 1.4285(3) nm, b = 1.9888(3) nm, c = 1.9133(3) nm; β = 109.12(2)°; V =5.1358(1.0) nm3; Z =4. Dc=1.665 g/cm3. 1HNMR spectra of 1 and 2 revealed that the absorptions of the protons on substituted Cp rings in these compounds had a down-field shift from those of the protons on the Cp rings of ruthenocene. The observation suggests that the protonated 1,4,7-triazacyclononane has a deshielding effect on the protons of the ruthenocene units. The CV curve of 2 gave an oxidation wave at 0.84 V.
