Abstract

Reaction of RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃ with aryl alkynes HCCC₆H₄R-4 [1: R = N(C₆H₄Me-4) ₂ (a), OMe (b), Me (c), CO₂Me (d), NO₂ (e)] gives the five-coordinate vinyl complexes Ru(CHCHC₆H ₄R-4)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2a-e). Reaction of 2a with excess PMe₃ gives crystallographically characterised Ru{CHCHC ₆H₄N(C₆H₄Me-4)₂-4}Cl(CO) (PMe₃)₃ (3a), whilst reaction of 2a-e with KTp affords Ru(CHCHC₆H₄R-4)(CO)(PPh₃)Tp (4a-e) bearing the facially capping Tp^- ligand. Electrochemical and spectroelectochemical properties of 4a-e are consistent with substantial redox activity associated with the vinyl ligand, and these properties have been satisfactorily modelled by DFT based calculations of electronic structure.
