Abstract

An air-stable and water-soluble diastereomeric half-sandwich ruthenium(I1) complex, [Ru(η-MeC6H4Pri-p)(H2O)-(L)](ClO4) (l), has been isolated and structurally characterized [HL= (27)-(α-methylbenzyl)salicylaldimine, 2-HOC6H4CH=NCHMePh]. Complex 1, C25H30NO6ClRu, crystallizes in the noncentric triclinic space group P1 with a=9.885(1)Å, b=10.185(1)Å, c=14.187(2)Å, α=110.32(1)°, β=102.17(1)°, Å=102.41(1)°, V=1243( 1) Å3, and Z=2. The X-ray structure shows the presence of two diastereomers in a 1:l ratio having RRuνSC and SRuνSC configurations. The Ru-OH2 bond distances are considerably long, and the values for RRu-1 and SRu-1isomers are 2.119(5) and 2.203(5) Å, respectively. The aqua complex (1) exists as a single diastereomer in solution, and it forms stable adducts with P-, N-, and halide-donor ligands. The stereochemical changes associated with adduct-forming reactions follow an inversion order: PPh3»P(OMe)3> pyridine bases»halides (I, Br, Cl)>H2O.
