Some complexes of ruthenium(II) and (III) with monotertiary phosphines and arsines

Journal Article · · J. Coord. Chem.; (United States)

The complexes RuCl/sub 2/(PPh/sub 3/)/sub 3/ and RuCl/sub 3/(AsPh/sub 3/)/sub 2/(MeOH) were employed as convenient starting materials. Methods were developed to prepare cis- or trans-isomers of the type RuCl/sub 2/L/sub 4/ (L = AsMePh/sub 2/, AsMe/sub 2/Ph) starting from RuCl/sub 2/(PPh/sub 3/)/sub 3/. Meridonial complexes of the type RuCl/sub 3/L/sub 3/ (L = PPh/sub 3/, PMePh/sub 2/, PMe/sub 2/Ph, PEtPh/sub 2/) were obtained by the reaction of Wilkinson's green complex, RuCl/sub 3/(AsPh/sub 3/)/sub 2/(MeOH) with an excess of L in benzene. In the presence of a large excess of methyldiphenylphosphine in benzene, a five coordinate complex RuCl/sub 2/(PMePh/sub 2/)/sub 3/ was obtained. The temperature of the reaction and solvent decide the nature of the reaction product. Thus a polymeric complex of the composition (RuCl/sub 2/(AsPh/sub 3/)/sub 2/)/sub n/ was obtained from RuCl/sub 3/(AsPh/sub 3/)/sub 2/(MeOH) with triphenylarsine in boiling propanol. The reaction of RuCl/sub 3/.3H/sub 2/O with PPh/sub 3/ and then AsPh/sub 3/ in propanol gave mixed ligand polymers of the type (RuCl/sub 2/(PPh/sub 3/)(AsPh/sub 3/))/sub n/.
