Abstract

A new ruthenium(II) complex of the type [Ru(O2CMe)(MeCN) 2(PPh3)2](CiO4) (1) has been isolated from a reaction between Ru2Cl(O2CMe), and PPh3 in MeCN followed by the addition of NaClO4. The structure of 1 is determined by single crystal X-ray studies. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group C2/m with the following unit cell dimensions for the C42H39N2O6P2ClRu(M = 866.15): a = 23.295(1)Å, b=23.080(1)Å, c=9.159(1)Å, β=107.32(1)°, V=4701(1)Å3, Z=4, D(c)=1.224 gcm-3, λ(Mo-K-α)=0.7107Å, μ(Mo-Kα) = 4.09 cm-1, T=293K, R=0.081 (R(w)=0.094) for 2860 reflections with I≥3σ(I) and g=0.015853. In the complex cation, the symmetry about the metal centre is essentially octahedral showing the presence of a chelating acetato, two cis-oriented MeCN and two trans-disposed PPh3 ligands. The mechanistic aspects of the core cleavage reaction are discussed.
