Syntheses, structures and redox properties of tris(pyrazolyl)borate-capped ruthenium vinyl complexes
摘要:
Reaction of RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)(3) with aryl alkynes HC CC6H4R-4 [1: R = N(C6H4Me-4)(2) (a), OMe (b), Me (c), CO2Me (d), NO2 (e)] gives the five-coordinate vinyl complexes Ru(CH=CHC6H4R-4)Cl(CO)(PPh3)(2) (2a-e). Reaction of 2a with excess PMe3 gives crystallographically characterised Ru{CH=CHC6H4N(C6H4Me-4)(2)-4} Cl(CO)(PMe3)(3) (3a), whilst reaction of 2a-e with KTp affords Ru(CH=CHC6H4R-4)(CO)(PPh3)Tp (4a-e) bearing the facially capping Tp(-) ligand. Electrochemical and spectroelectochemical properties of 4a-e are consistent with substantial redox activity associated with the vinyl ligand, and these properties have been satisfactorily modelled by DFT based calculations of electronic structure.
