[Ru(II)(L)6]2+ complexes were synthesized from [Ru(DMF)6][CF3SO3]3; DMF = dimethylformamide, L = imidazole (Im), N-methylimidazole (NMeIm) and 5-methylimidazole (5MeIm). The 2-methylimidazole complex trans-[Ru(CO)(DMF)(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]2 (4) was also synthesized via a reaction involving abstraction of CO from DMF; 4 loses CO reversibly at ambient temperature to form [Ru(DMF)(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]2 (5), and the DMF can be removed to generate a [Ru(CF3SO3)x(2MeIm)4][CF3SO3]y species (x = 2, y = 0, or x = 1 = y), containing coordinated triflate. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, UV-vis, NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The structures of [Ru(Im)6][CF3SO3]2 (1), [Ru(NMeIm)6][CF3SO3]2 (2), and [Ru(5MeIm)6][CF3SO3]2 (3) were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Crystals of 1, are triclinic, a = 7.4010(6), b = 9.9846(15), c = 11.275(2) Å, α = 113.469(5), β = 92.419(2), γ = 94.737(2)°, Z = 1, space group P1 ; those of 2, are trigonal, a = 11.558(2), c = 8.109(3) Å, Z = 1, space group P3; and those of 3, are trigonal, a = 12.6547(4), c = 20.4078(12) Å, Z = 3, space group R3. The structures were solved by Patterson methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R(F) = 0.029, 0.034, and 0.034 (R w (F2) = 0.055, R w (F) = 0.031, and R w (F2) = 0.058), respectively. Key words: hexakis(imidazole)ruthenium(II) triflates, crystal structures, CO abstraction.

The reactions of the LMo(CO)3− ions (L = MeGapz3, HBpz3, Me2Gapz(OCH2CH2NMe2)) with [Cu(PPh3)Cl]4 and Rh(PPh3)3Cl have yielded complexes with Mo—Cu and Mo—Rh bonds. The X-ray crystal structures of two such complexes have been determined. Crystals of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Cu(PPh3) are monoclinic, a = 17.071(2), b = 16.738(1), c = 23.641(3) Å, β = 104.899(6)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n, and those of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Rh(PPh3)2, are triclinic, a = 12.519(3), b = 17.182(4), c = 12.071(2) Å, α = 105.02(1), β = 109.87(1), γ = 97.10(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.035 for 6296 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I) and R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.037 for 5642 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. The former complex provides a rare example of a 3:3:1, or capped octahedral structure, with a short (mean) Mo—Cu distance of 2.513(9) Å. The latter compound displays one terminal and two bridging CO ligands and a Mo—Rh distance of 2.6066(5) Å.

Ru(hfac)3 (2) was synthesized via peroxide oxidation of the Ru(II) species [Na][Ru(hfac)3] (1) (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate). Treatment of either 1 or 2 with CF3SO3H in MeCN generated cis-Ru(hfac)2(MeCN)2 (3). Ru(acac)2(hfac) (4) (acac = acetylacetonate) was generated by addition of hfac to an EtOH solution of cis-[Ru(acac)2(MeCN)2][CF3SO3]. Subsequent treatment of 4 with CF3SO3H in MeCN yielded cis-Ru(acac)(hfac)(MeCN)2 (7). Syntheses of [Na][Ru(hfac)2(acac)] (5) and Ru(hfac)2(acac) (6) are also reported. The complexes were characterized generally by elemental analysis, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis, NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The structures of 2, 3, and 7 were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Crystals of 2 are monoclinic with a = 8.7781(4), b = 13.0760(11), c = 19.1857(5) Å, β = 92.2275(5)°, Z = 4, and space group P21/n; those of 3 are monoclinic with a = 25.731(4), b = 8.8332(13), c = 18.1955(4) Å, β = 93.3395(6)°, Z = 8, and space group C2/c; and those of 7 are triclinic with a = 7.6812(9), b = 10.680(2), c = 12.578(2) Å, α = 88.062(6)°, β = 83.874(3)°, γ = 69.5898(15)°, Z = 2, and space group Pbar over 1. The structures were solved by Patterson methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R(F) = 0.036, 0.035, and 0.068 (Rw(F2) = 0.061,Rw(F) = 0.052, and Rw(F) = 0.089), respectively.Key words: ruthenium, β-diketonato complexes, acetylacetonate, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate, acetonitrile complexes.

Reaction of RuCl2(PPh3)3 with Ppy3 (py = 2-pyridyl) in benzene produced the N,N′,N″-Ppy3 complex RuCl2(PPh3)(Ppy3) 1. Crystals of RuCl2(PPh3)(Ppy3)•2CH2Cl2 (C35H31Cl6N3P2Ru) are monoclinic, a = 17.269(2), b = 10.797(1), c = 20.604(1) Å, β = 107.461(6)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by the Patterson method and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.039 and Rw = 0.035 for 4184 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Complex 1 reacts in MeOH or benzene with two-electron donors (L) to give the chloride-substituted, [RuCl(L)(PPh3)(Ppy3)]PF6, or the triphenylphosphine-substituted products, RuCl2(L)(Ppy3), (L = CO, MeCN, PhCN), respectively. [RuCl(MeOH)(PPh3)(Ppy3)]BPh4 was also isolated. The non-coordinated phosphorus atom in 1 was oxidized to form RuCl2(PPh3)(OPpy3). Key words: ruthenium, pyridylphosphines, crystal structure

Porphyrins containing one to four 4-pyridyl groups as meso-substituents were synthesized via a mixed aldehyde condensation, and then "N-oxidized" with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to produce five novel (oxidopyridyl) porphyrins and seven porphyrin-N-oxides, which were characterized by analysis and spectroscopic methods, especially NMR; an X-ray crystal structure of 5-(1-oxido-4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin was also obtained. Crystals of (oxidopyridyl)triphenylporphyrin are tetragonal, a = b = 15.174(1), c = 13.709(1) Å, Z = 4, space group I2d. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.031 (Rw = 0.026) for 685 reflections with I [Formula: see text] 3σ(I). Sulfonation of two of the (oxidopyridyl)porphyrins was achieved readily with no loss of oxygen from the oxidopyridyl groups. Tirapazamine (3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-di-N-oxide) was treated with triphosgene to yield the previously reported 2H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]benzotriazin-2-one-5-oxide (1); this reacts like an isocyanate and with 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin yields a tirapazamine-porphyrin conjugate (2).Key words: porphyrin-N-oxides, (oxidopyridyl)porphyrins, tirapazamine.

Reaction of McConville's chelating amido titanium complex [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]Ti(CH3)2 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) with either elemental Se or the tellurium atom source Te=PBu3 resulted in the formation of bis-µ-chalcogenido dimers [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2Ti(µ-E)2 (E = Se, 2; Te, 3) with concommitant loss of EMe2. The dimers 2 and 3 were characterized spectroscopically and via X-ray crystallography. The two compounds are isostructural in the solid state. The tellurido dimer 3 may also be synthesized by reduction of the diamido dichloride [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2TiCl2 with Na–Hg amalgam followed by treatment with Te=PBu3. This dimer is unreactive toward further Te=PBu3 or stannanes such as HSnBu3. Unlike decamethyltitanocene derivatives, the diamido complex is not an effective catalyst precursor for the heterohydrodecoupling of Te=PBu3 and HSnBu3.Key words: diamido titanium complexes, selenides, tellurides.

The characterization of two MoVI complexes, cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] and cis -[MoO2(2-pyS)2] (where 2-pymSH is pyrimidine-2-thiol and 2-pySH is pyridine-2-thiol), and their reaction with Ph3P are reported. The X-ray structure of cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] shows the molybdenum atom to exist in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by two mutually cis oxygen atoms and two chelating 2-pymS ligands so that the two sulfur atoms occupy approximate trans positions. Crystals of cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] are monoclinic, space group P 21/n, with unit cell dimensions: a 9.301(3), b 12.121(2), c 11.303(3) �, β 112.62(3)�, V 1176.3 �3, Z 4. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R 0.067 for 1858 reflections with I ≥ 2.5 (I).

Three 2-(hydroxyamino)alkanols have been reacted with sterically hindered arylboronic acids, ArB(OH)2. When Ar = o-tolyl, 1:2 condensates having bicyclic structures are formed but when Ar = mesityl (2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2), 1:1 condensates having six-membered cycloboronate structures result. These 1:1 condensates represent the first examples of N-unsubstituted 1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane derivatives. An X-ray analysis of one example provides unambiguous proof of the structure. Crystals of 2-mesityl-6,6-pentamethylene-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 3c, are monoclinic, a = 11.076(9), b = 23.94(2), c = 13.414(9) Å, β = 109.40(5)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.051 and Rw = 0.058 for 2037 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2).
