Abstract top

The reaction of RuCl(Tp)(Ph3P)2, where Tp is [(CH)3N2]3BH, with benzophenone imine leads to the formation of the title compound, [Ru(C9H10BN6)Cl(C13H11N)(C18H15P)]·C4H10O. The environment about the Ru atom corresponds to a slightly distorted octahedron and the bite angle of the Tp ligand produces an average N-Ru-N angle of 86.3 (9)°. The three Ru-N(Tp) bond lengths [2.117 (2), 2.079 (2) and 2.084 (2) Å] are slightly longer than the average distance (2.038 Å) in other ruthenium-Tp complexes.

Comment top

Ruthenium(II) hydridotripyrazolylborate complexes, Ru(Tp), are of interest for stoichiometric and catalytic transformations of organic molecules (Pavlik et al., 2005). The complex RuCl(Tp)(PPh3)2 (Alock et al., 1992) has been used as the starting material for the synthesis of several complexes because of its substitutionally labile chloride and phosphines (Burrows, 2001). On the other hand, despite the large number of known transition metal complexes containing multidentate imine ligands, the monodentate nitrogen-bond imine derivatives are rather rare (Albertin et al., 2008). This is somewhat surprising and may be partly due to the weak Lewis basicity of the imine nitrogen atom (Harman & Tube 1988). However, coordination of an imine on a metal fragment would be an important step in its activation toward nucleophilic attack or its hydrogenation reaction to give the amine.

The complex [RuCl(Tp)(PPh3)2] reacts smoothly with benzophenone imine in warm toluene affording the title compound RuCl(Tp)(PPh3)(HNCPh2) ((I)). The complex (I) is yellow crystalline solid which in their IR spectra display one medium band near 3312 cm-1, attributable to ν(NH) in the imine ligand. We have observed that the benzophenone imine is lost readily in solution. It appears that a rapid dissociation equilibrium occurs which leads to the formation of variable amounts of free imine plus other species. This behavior has been observed in other imine complexes of ruthenium, as in the case of RuHCl(CO)(HNCPh2)(PiPr3)2, where PiPr is tri(isopropyl)phosphine, (Bohanna et al., 1996), and hence in all further operations for the purification of (I), an excess of free imine was added in order to prevent decomposition by imine ligand dissociation. In complex (I), the environment about the ruthenium metal center corresponds to a slightly distorted octahedron and the bite angle of the Tp ligand produces an average N—Ru—N angle of 86.3° only slightly distorted from 90°. The three Ru—N(Tp) bond lengths: 2.117 (2), 2.079 (2) and 2.084 (2) Å are slightly longer than the average distance of 2.038 Å in other ruthenium Tp complexes (Gemel et al., 1996; Slugovc et al., 1998). The Ru1—N7 and N7—C10 bond lengths of 2.063 (2) Å and 1.284 (3) Å correspond to single Ru—N and double CN bonds. The angles (121.5 (2)°, 120.2 (3)° and 117.9 (2)°) around C10 indicate a sp2 hybridization as expected.

Experimental top

The synthesis of the title compound (I) was carried out as follows: to a solution of RuCl(Tp)(PPh3)2 (3.95 g, 4.50 mmol) in toluene (100 ml), an excess of benzophenone imine (7.9 ml, 45.0 mmol) were added. The mixture was heated using a warm water bath for 30 min. A deep yellow color developed during this time. The reaction mixture was stirred for a further 2 h at room temperature. Then, it was concentrated to approximately half of the volume and cooled to 253 K. The yellow precipitate was filtered off, washed with ethanol and ether, dried under vacuum to give the (I) (3.34 g, 95% yield). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (KBr, cm-1): ν(BH) 2467 cm-1; ν(NH) 3312 cm-1. The 1H NMR (CDCl3, 303 K, d, p.p.m.): δ 5.67 (t, JHH = 2.0 Hz, 1H, Tp), 5.78 (t, 1H, JHH = 2.0 Hz, Tp), 5.95 (d, 1H, JHH = 2.0 Hz, Tp), 6.11 (t, 1H, JHH = 2.0 Hz, Tp), 6.45 (d, 1H, JHH = 2.0 Hz, Tp), 6.73–7.70 (Ph, Tp), 8.13 (d, 1H, JHH = 2.0 Hz, Tp), 12.45 (s, 1H, HN). The 13C NMR (CDCl3, 303 K, d, p.p.m.): 105.2–148.4 (m, Ph, PPh3, Tp), 179.9 (s, HNC (Ph)2). The 31P NMR (CDCl3, 303 K, d, p.p.m.): d 51.3. The MS (m/z, Ru 102): 793.2 (M+),758.1 (M+ - Cl), 612.2 (M+ - HNC (Ph)2). Anal. Calc. for C40H36BClN7PRu, (%): C, 60.58; H,4.58; N, 12.36. Found (%): C, 60.43; H, 4.61; N, 12.42. The bright-yellow crystals of (I) for X-ray structure analysis were obtained by recrystallization of the crude product from dichloromethane–ether containing free benzophenone imine.

Special details top

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
