Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 32993-05-8, Name is Chlorocyclopentadienylbis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II), HPLC of Formula: C41H35ClP2Ru.
Efficient transfer of dithiolene ligands from nickel to cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complexes
The reaction of [CpRu(PPh3)2Cl] with [Ni(S2C2Ph2)2] in refluxing toluene produces the purple salt [CpRu(S2C2Ph2)(PPh3)][Cl], containing a rare example of a cationic dithiolene complex, in excellent yield. Chemical or electrochemical reduction of [CpRu(S2C2Ph2)- (PPh3)][Cl] causes a colour change to blue and formation of the corresponding neutral species [CpRu(S2C2Ph2)(PPh3)]. In contrast the reaction of [CpRu(CO)2Cl] with [Ni(S2C2Ph2)2] under similar conditions was unsuccessful, but dithiolene transfer could be induced at room temperature by the use of Me3NO as a decarbonylating agent. In this case the neutral paramagnetic complex [CpRu(S2C2Ph2)(CO)] was formed, together with a crystallographically characterised dinuclear compound [Ru2(mu-S2C2Ph2)(mu-CO)(CO)Cp2]. The different outcomes of these reactions are related to the sigma-donor and pi-acceptor properties of the ligands.
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.HPLC of Formula: C41H35ClP2Ru. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 32993-05-8
