The novel ruthenaphosphaalkenyls [RuP=C(H)SiMe2R}Cl-(Co)(PPh3)(2)] (R = p-C6H4CF3, Bu-n) have been prepared for the first time, and studied alongside precedent analogues (R = Me, Ph, p-tol) for their reactions with HCl. In contrast to chemistry defined for the tert-butyl congener [RuP,=C(H)Bu-t}CI(CO)(PPh3)(2)], which initially adds a single equivalent of HCI across the Ru-P linkage, all five silyl derivatives undergo spontaneous addition of a second equivalent to afford [Rueta(1)-PHCI-CH2SiMe2R}Cl(Co)(PPh3)(2)], extremely rare examples of coordinated "PHXR." type ligands. Where R = SiMe3, a distorted octahedral geometry with a conformationally restricted 'PHXR" ligand is observed crystallographically; this structure is appreciably retained in solution, as determined from multinuelear NMR spectroscopic features, which include a Karplus-like P-pph3-Ru-P-H spin-spin coupling dependence. Computational data suggest a silyl-induced increase in negative charge density at the phosphaalkenic carbon, rather than an intrinsic thermodynamic driver, as the likely origin of the disparate reactivity.
