Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren von Chloro-Bromo-Ruthenaten(IV) einschließlich der Stereoisomeren / Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Chloro-Bromo-Ruthenates(IV) Including Stereoisomers
Abstract The mixed chloro-bromo complexes [RuClnBr6-n]2-, n = 1-5, have been separated for the first time by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethylcellulose. Due to the stronger trans-effect of Br compared with Cl, on treatment of [RuBr6]2- with Cl- in the presence of Br2 nearly pure cis/fac-isomers,and by reaction of [RuCl6]2- withBr-/Br2 nearly purer tranS/mer-isomersforn = 2,3,4 are formed. The vibrational spectra of the mixed ligand complexes are completely assigned according to point groups D4h, C4v, C3v and C2v, respectively. The bands are observed in the characteristic regions: ν(RuCl): 340-270 > ν(RuBr): 245-190 > δ(ClRuCl) ≥ δ(ClRubr) ≥ δ(BrRuBr): 125-90 > νʟ: < 100 cm-1. The lower stability of the hexahalogeno complexes of Ru(IV), 4d, compared with the homologous complexes of Os(IV), 5d, is confirmed by a decrease of the force field constants by approximately 15%.
