Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of bromine-containing exo-nido-clusters of a general formula exo-5,6,10-[Br(Ph3P)2Ru]-5,6,10-(μ-H)3-10-H-7,8-R2-nido-7,8-C2B9H6 (R = H, Me) was developed using the reactions of RuBr2(PPh3)3 with [K][7,8-R2-7,8-nido-C2B9H10]. Replacement of the phosphine ligands in the starting exo-nido-cluster (R = H) with the diphosphine ones afforded a series of diamagnetic (18-electron) closo-bromoruthenacarboranes, 3-Br-3,3-[κ2-Ph2P(CH2) n PPh2]-3-H-closo-3,1,2-RuC2B9H11 (n = 3−5). A mild thermal method of the halide ligands exchange (Cl → Br) upon heating of diamagnetic chlorine-containing complexes 3,3-[κ2-Ph2P(CH2) n PPh2]-3-H-3-Cl-closo-3,1,2-RuC2B9H11 (n = 3−5) with excess of CBr4 in benzene (70–80 °C) was suggested for the synthesis of paramagnetic (17-electron) bromine-containing ruthenacarboranes, 3-Br-3,3-[κ2-Ph2P(CH2) n PPh2]-closo-3,1,2-RuC2B9H11 (n = 3, 4) or 3-Br-3,3,8-[κ2-Ph2(CH2)5PPh]-μ-. Paramagnetic chlorine-containing clusters 3-Cl-3,3-[κ2-Ph2P(CH2) n PPh2]-closo-3,1,2-RuC2B9H11 (n = 2−4) were alternatively used as the starting compounds in the exchange reaction. Complexes with dppp and dppb (dppp is 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, dppb is 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) were used as examples to study the thermal reactions (toluene, 110 °C) leading in the presence of CBr4 to paramagnetic mono(P-o-phenylene)- and bis(P,P-o-phenylene)cycloboronated clusters, 3-Br-3,3,8-[κ2-Ph2(CH2) n PPh]-μ- and 3-Br-3,3,4,8-[κ2-Ph2(CH2) n P]-μ- (n = 3, 4). The compounds obtained were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (in the case of diamagnetic complexes), ESR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (in the case of paramagnetic compounds). X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out for two cycloboronated paramagnetic complexes.
