Abstract

A synthetic study of ruthenium complexes containing pentafluorobenzenethiolato ligand is presented. The bis(triphenylphosphine) complex CpRu(PPh3)2SC6F5 (1) is prepared from CpRu(PPh3)2Cl and C6F5S in high yield. This complex is readily reacted with CO gas to give the mixed carbonyl-phosphine complex CpRu(PPh3)(CO)SC6F5 (2) and with NOBF4 at room temperature to give [CpRu(PPh3)(NO)SC6F5]BF4 (3). The one-pot reaction of CpRu(PPh3)2Cl, dppa ligands, and C6F5S produces CpRu(dppa)SC6F5 [dppa = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane: dppm (4); bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane: dppe (5)]. Complexes (1)(5) have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques (i.r., 1H-n.m.r., 31P-n.m.r.) and by elemental analysis. The X-ray structural analysis of (5) is reported.
