Binap and MeO-Biphep complexes of Ru(II). Dicationic ligands as 6e donors. Unexpected cyclometallation in connection with PC bond breaking
Keyword(s):
A series of cationic and dicationic Ru-arene complexes with Binap (1a) and MeO-Biphep (1b) have been prepared. 13C NMR studies are shown to be useful in connection with recognising the 6e-bonding mode of 1a and 1b in the dications [Ru(1a or 1b)(η6-arene)](SbF6)2 (8,9). Reaction of 8,9 with: (a) (Bu4N)(Ph3SiF2) leads to a cyclometallated product which arises via PC bond breaking and PF bond making; (b) methanol provides a straightforward synthesis of the corresponding hydrides. 13C NMR p-cymene chemical shifts are reported.Key words: PC bond cleavage, 6e donors, cyclometallation, hydrides, 13C NMR.
