Abstract top

The title salt, [Ru(Tp)(CH5N)2(PPh3)]Cl·CH2Cl2·H2O [where Tp is (C3H3N2)3BH and PPH3 is C18H15P], has the RuIII atom in an octahedral geometry; one of the Ru-N(Tp) bonds [2.135 (8) Å] is slightly longer than another two, owing to the trans influence of PPh3 ligand. N-H...Cl and O-H...Cl hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of layers parallel to (100).

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 (Alcock 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). The development of Tp chemistry within group VIII has picked up the pace since then.

Treatment of the complex [Ru(Tp)(PPh3)2Cl] reacted with methyl amine in warm methanol affording the title compound [Ru(NH2CH3)2(Tp)(PPh3)]Cl.CH2Cl2.H2O (Fig. 1). The ν(B—H) vibration of the title complex is found at 2481 cm-1, which is characteristic of Tp bound to a metal center in a terdentate (N,N,N) manner. Yellow crystals were obtained by slow diffusion of hexane into a CHCl3 solution at room temperature for 3 d. The coordination geometry is approximately octahedral and the bite angle of the Tp ligand produces an average produces an average N—Ru—N angle of 86.07° only slightly distorted from 90°. One of the Ru—N(Tp) bond length (2.135 (8) Å) is slightly longer than another two due to the trans influence of PPh3 ligand (Slugovc et al. 1998).

Experimental top

The synthesis of the title compound was carried out as follows. To a solution of [(Tp)(PPh3)2RuCl] (0.39 g, 0.45 mmol) in methanol (20 ml), an excess of methyl amine 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 6 h at room temperature (298 K). Then it was concentrated to approximately half of the volume and cooled to 273 K. The yellow precipitate was filtered off, washed with ethanol and ether and dried was dried under vacuum to give the title compound.

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, by C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(C), N—H = 0.92 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N), and B—H = 1.0 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(B).

Special details top

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