Synthesis, Characterization, and Acidity of Ruthenium Dihydrogen Complexes with 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane, 1,4,7-Trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, and Hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato Ligands
摘要:
Protonation of [(R)CnRuH(L)(L')](+) ((R)Cn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane; L,L' (PPh3)(2), dppe, and CO,PPh3) produced the corresponding dicationic dihydrogen complexes [(R)CnRU(H-2)(L)(L')](2+). Protonation of TpRuH(dppe) (Tp=hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato) yielded the new monocationic dihydrogen complex [TpRu(H-2)(dppe)](+). The acidity of the dihydrogen complexes [(R)CnRU(H-2)(L)(L')](2+) and monocationic dihydrogen complexes [TpRu(H-2)(L)(L')](+) (L,L'=dppe, (PPh3)(2), CH3CN,PPh3, and CO,PPh3) has been studied. It was found that the dicationic complexes are more acidic than their monocationic Tp and Cp counterparts. [(Me)CnRu(H-2)(CO)(PPh3)](2+) was found to be more acidic than [(H)CnRu(H-2)(CO)(PPh3)](2+), probably due to the stronger H-H interaction in the latter complex. It is also noted that triazacyclononane and hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato dihydrogen complexes with pseudo aqueous pK(a) values well above that of H3O+ can be deprotonated by H2O to form the corresponding monohydride complexes in organic/aqueous mixed solvents. It is believed that deprotonation of the dihydrogen ligands in these complexes is assisted by strong solvation of H+ by H2O.
Synthesis, characterization and crystal structures of some half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane containing π-acidic ancillary ligands
摘要:
The synthesis of a series of ruthenium(II) complexes of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane L of type [RuL(X)Y(Z)](+) containing H, O2CCF3, CO, PPh(3), dppe [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] or 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)N=C as auxiliary ligands are described where X = Y = CO, Z = Cl 1; X, Y = dppe, Z = Cl 2; X, Y = dppe, Z = H 3; X = CO, Y = PPh(3), Z = H 4; X = Y = 2.6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)N=C, Z = O2CCF3 5. All complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The crystal structures of 1 and 4 as PF6- salts have been determined. The two CO groups in complex 1 are in cis-fashion with a OC-Ru-CO angle of 90.1(3)degrees and the RU-C distances are 1.850(6) and 1.893(6) Angstrom. Complex 4 features one of the few ruthenium: complexes containing three different piano-stool ligands, namely. CO, PPh(3) and H. The measured RU-CO and Ru-H distances in 4 are 1.785(9) and 1.54(9) Angstrom respectively.
