Specific reactivity of SH versus OH functions towards dinuclear arene ruthenium units: synthesis of cationic complexes of the type [(arene)2Ru2(SR)3]
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reaction of [(arene)RuCl2]2 (arene /C6H6, p -Me /C6H4 / i Pr, C6Me6) with p -thiocresol, 2-mercaptoethanol and p mercaptophenol in refluxing ethanol gives the tris-thiolato complexes [(arene)2Ru2(SR)3] (R /p -C6H4 /Me, CH2CH2OH, p C6H4OH) which can be isolated as the chloride salts. The remarkable selectivity of (arene)ruthenium units for SH versus OH functions reflects the affinity of ruthenium towards sulfur.
