چکیده

The complexes [Ru(Tai)Cl{=C(H)Ph}(PCy(3))] (4) and [Ru((Ph)Bai)Cl{=C(H)Ph}(PCy(3))] (5) [where Tai = HB(7-azaindolyl)(3) and (Ph)Bai = Ph(H)B(7-azaindolyl)(2)] have been prepared and structurally characterised. The borohydride unit is located in the coordination site trans to the chloride ligand in both complexes. The degree of interaction between the borohydride group and the metal centre was found to be significantly large in both cases. Thermolysis reactions involving complex 4 led to a dehydrogenation reaction forming [Ru(Tai)Cl{PCy(2)(η(2)-C(6)H(9))}] (6) where the benzylidene group acts as a hydrogen acceptor.

Synthesis and characterisation of group nine transition metal complexes containing new mesityl and naphthyl based azaindole scorpionate ligands.

Two novel boron-based flexible scorpionate ligands based on 7-azaindole, Li[HB(azaindolyl)(2)(1-naphthyl)] and Li[HB(azaindolyl)(2)(mesityl)] {Li[(Naphth)Bai] and Li[(Mes)Bai] respectively}, have been prepared (mesityl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl). These salts have been isolated in two forms, either as dimeric structures which contain bridging hydride interactions with the lithium centres or as cry...

Cu(I) and Zn(II) complexes of 7-azaindole-containing scorpionates: structures, luminescence and fluxionality.

A new scorpionate borate ligand K[HB(7-azain)3](1, 7-azain = 7-azaindolyl) has been obtained from the reaction of KBH4 with excess 7-azaindole. The scorpionate ligand 1 was found to be able to form complexes with Zn(II) and Cu(I) ions. Complex 2 with the formula [BH(7-azain)3](ZnCl) has been obtained from the reaction of ZnCl2 with 1. Complex 3 with the formula [BH(7-azain)3][Cu(PPh3)] has been...

14-Electron Four-Coordinate Ru(II) Carbyl Complexes and Their Five-Coordinate Precursors: Synthesis, Double Agostic Interactions, and Reactivity

The structure of five-coordinate Ru(II) complexes RuHCl(CO)(PPr3)2, 1, RuCl2(CO)(PPr3)2, 2, and Ru(Ph)Cl(CO)(PBu2Me)2, 12, are reported. All three of these complexes have square-based pyramid geometry with the strongest σ-donor ligand trans to the vacant site. These 16-electron complexes do not show bona fide agostic interactions. This is attributed to the strong trans influence ligand (H, CO, ...
