摘要:
The reductive carbonylation of silica-supported RuCl3.3H2O was investigated. This physisorbed salt reacts with CO at 25-50-degrees-C to form the silica-bound species[GRAPHICS]which is converted into the silica-bound tricarbonyl species[GRAPHICS]when the temperature is raised to 100-degrees-C. The surface species may be extracted with suitable donor solvents at room temperature. With[GRAPHICS]extraction using acetone followed by recrystallization from dichloroethane/pentane affords [RU(CO)3Cl2]2 in high yield. The dimer sublimes directly from the surface upon carbonylation at 180-degrees-C. Liberated HCl probably inhibits further reduction. However, starting from physisorbed [(Ru(CO)3Cl2}2], the species [RU2(CO)6Cl4(H2O)] is formed on the surface in the presence of CO + H2O at 100-degrees-C. Only traces of [(Ru(CO)3Cl2}2] and clusters such as [Ru3(CO)10Cl2] and [Ru3(CO)12] sublime under these conditions.
