摘要:
The alkoxo, amido, or thiolato groups derived respectively from 2-hydroxypyridine, 2-anilinopyridine, or 2-mercaptopyridine are incorporated into Ru3(CO)12 to give several ''activated'' anionic and neutral complexes. The anions [Ru3(mu-eta(2)-X(C5H4N))(CO)10]- (1a,c) and [Ru3(mu(3)-eta(2)-X(C5H4N))(CO)9]- (2a,b): a, X = N(C6H5); b, X = S; c, X = O) are obtained (i) in 80-90% yield by treatment of Ru3(CO)12 with K[X(C5H4N)] followed by metathesis with (PPN)Cl (PPN = (C6H5)3PNP(C6H5)3+) or (ii) by reaction of HX(C5H4N) with PPN[Ru3(mu-H)(CO)11] (refluxing THF, 2 h, 60% yield). The amido derivatives 1a-3a are also available via method iii, involving direct reaction of 2-anilinopyridine with Ru3(CO)12 (refluxing benzene, 2 h) to give Ru3(mu-H)(mu-(3)-eta(2)-N(C6H5)(C5H4N))(CO)9 (3a) (yield 85%). The latter is subsequently deprotonated by PPNBH4 to give 2a (yield 90%). The sulfido derivative Ru3(mu-H)(mu(3)-eta(2)-S(C5H4N))(CO)9 (3b) is obtained in 80-90% yield by protonation of the potassium salt of 2b. The X-ray structures of the PPN salts of 1c and 2a are reported. Crystallographic data for PPN.1c: triclinic P1BAR (No. 2), a = 13.209 (1) angstrom, b = 18.149 (2) angstrom, c = 11.217 (2) angstrom, alpha = 102.37 (1)-degrees, beta = 96.52 (1)-degrees, gamma = 107.40 (1)-degrees, V = 2461 angstrom 3, Z = 2; mu(Mo K-alpha) = 10.15 cm-1; R = 0.042, R(w) = 0.043 for 7330 observations and 382 variables. Crystallographic data for PPN.2a: triclinic P1BAR (No. 2), a = 15.933 (2) angstrom, b = 17.163 (2) angstrom, c = 10.384 (2) angstrom, alpha = 102.69 (1)-degrees, beta = 91.06 (1)-degrees, gamma = 107.55 (1)-degrees, V = 2630 angstrom 3, Z = 2; mu(Mo K-alpha) = 8.64 cm-1; R = 0.042, R(w) = 0.042 for 5665 observations and 364 variables. On the basis of these structures, it is suggested that the variable hapticity of group X (terminal position in 1 and bridging position in 2) plays a ''lightly stabilizing'' role for coordination sites. The hydrido complexes Ru3(mu-H)(mu(3)-eta(2)-X(C5H4N))(CO)9 (3a,b) react cleanly with alkynes (40-50-degrees-C, 30-45 min) to give selectively the corresponding alkenyl complexes Ru3(mu(3)-eta(2)-X(C5H4N))(mu-(C6H5)CCH(C6H5))(CO)8 (4a, 90-95% yield; 4b, 70-80% yield) via cis insertion into the metal-hydride bond. The X-ray structure of 4a has been determined. Crystallographic data for 4a (crystallizing with 1 mol of CH2Cl2 per unit cell): triclinic P1BAR (No. 2), a = 10.424 (1) angstrom, b = 18.795 (2) angstrom, c = 8.964 (1) angstrom, alpha = 93.97 (1)-degrees, beta = 105.09 (1)-degrees, gamma = 78.51 (1)-degrees, V = 1661 (5) angstrom 3, Z = 2; mu(Mo K-alpha) = 13.76 cm-1; R = 0.023, R(w) = 0.025 for 5502 reflections and 436 variables. The cluster consists of a trinuclear ruthenium unit supported by a face-bridging phenylpyridylamido group. The bridging alkenyl group is coordinated at equatorial sites and spans a metal-metal edge adjacent to that supported by the bridging amido group. There is a bridging carbonyl spanning the same edge as the amido group. The features which may account for the high reactivity of this complex are discussed.
