Abstract: trans-[RuCl4(DMSO)(4-MeIm)][(4-MeIm)H].HCl (4-MeIm=4-Methylimidazole, Compd.1) and trans-[RuCl4(DMSO)(N-MeIm)][(N-MeIm)H] (N-MeIm=N-Methylimidazole, Compd.2) were synthesized. The influence of ligand structure (4-MeIm and N-MeIm) on hydrolytic mechanism-kinetics, electrochemical properties and solution stabilities of Ru-NAMI-A derivatives was studied by UV, NMR and cyclic voltammetry. The result shows that the 1st and 2nd chloro-hydrolysis as well as DMSO-hydrolysis mechanisms for two compounds are very similar to that for NAMI-A. However, the hydrolytic rates of Compd. 1 are obviously faster than that of Compd. 2, which means that introducing electron donating group (methyl) into imidazole ring (C4) of NAMI-A would accelerate hydrolytic reaction of Ru-NAMI-A derivatives. The stability of the complexes in acetic buffer solution is much more stable than that of in neural solution.
