Ruthenium cluster chemistry: Monodentate bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene-ligated cluster modules in chain and dendrimer formation
摘要:
Reaction of Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(10) [dppm=bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] with one equivalent of dppa [dppa=bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene] afforded Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)(eta(1)-dppa) which possesses a monodentate dppa ligand, an X-ray structural study revealing that all phosphorus donor atoms are arranged in equatorial coordination sites with respect to the triruthenium cluster plane. Reaction of Ru-3(CO)(9)(NCMe)(3) with excess dppa afforded fair yields of Ru-3(CO)(9)(eta(1)-dppa)(3),which possesses three monodentate dppa ligands. Reaction of three equivalents of Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)(eta(1)-dppa) with Ru-3(CO)(9)(NCMe)(3) or reaction of Ru-3(CO)(9)(eta(1)-dppa)(3) with excess Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(10) afforded low yields of the dodecanuclear first-generation dendrimer Ru-3(CO)(9)(PPh2C2PPh2Ru3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)}(3). Reaction of WIr3(mu-CO)(3)(CO)(8)(eta-C5Me5) with excess Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)(eta(1)-dppa) afforded fair yields of the decanuclear dppa-bridged tri-cluster WIr3(CO)(9){PPh2C2PPh2Ru3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)}(2)(eta-C5Me5).

Trapping of a phenyl group by a ruthenium cluster during dephenylation of coordinated CH2(PPh2)2 (dppm)
摘要:
Pyrolysis of {Ru-3(mu-dppm)(CO)(9)}(n)(dppa) (n = 1 or 2) afforded Ru-3(mu(3)-PPhCH2PPh2)(mu(3)-eta(1):eta(2):P-C2PPh2)(mu-PPh2)(Ph)(CO)(6), containing an Ru-3 chain bridged by a dephenylated dppm ligand and by C2PPh2 and PPh2 ligands derived from the dppa ligand. The phenyl group from the dppm ligand has been trapped by one of the Ru atoms to give a rare example of a cluster-bound sigma-Ph group. The molecular structure of Ru-3(mu-H){mu(3)-eta(1),eta(2)-CCHP(O)Ph-2}(mu-PPh2)(mu-dppm)(CO)(6), obtained on one occasion from the mono-cluster complex, is also described.
