In the structure of the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₁₆H₁₄N₂O)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]·CH₃OH, he Ru^II ion shows a slightly distorted octahedral coordination by two N atoms and one O atom from the 2-methyl-8-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)quinoline acting as an N,O,N′-tridentate ligand, two Cl atoms, and one P atom from a PPh₃ ligand. The two Cl atoms adopt a cis arrangement with the PPh₃ ligand trans to one Cl atom. The N,O,N′-tridentate ligand occupies a mer position in the coordination sphere.

The N,O,N'-tridentate ligands with two pyridine-like donors and an ether donor are potentially a doubly chelating ligands in coordination chemistry. The presence of the flexible methylene and ether linkages allows the ligands to act as a folded N,N'-bidentate ligands or N,O,N'-tridentate ligands in meridional or facial arrangement, coordination to the metal coordinate (Al-Mandhary & Steel, 2003; Xu et al. 2009). Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title complex 1, [Ru(C₁₆H₁₄N₂O)(PPh₃)Cl₂.CH₃OH, which combines 2-methyl-8-(pyridineyl-2-methoxy)-quinoline and triphenylphosphane ligands. The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. In the title complex 1, the ruthenium atom center is in a pseudooctahedral environment with the two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom which from 2-methyl-8-(pyridineyl-2-methoxy)-quinoline acts as a mer N,O,N'-tridentate ligand, two cis chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom from PPh₃ ligand trans to one chloride. The N—Ru—N angle is 158.25 (17)°. The N1—Ru—O1 and N2—Ru—O1 angles are 79.47 (17)° and 79.66 (16)°, respectively. The coordination between N,O,N'-tridentate ligand and the Ru^II yields two five-membered rings, RuN1C6C5O1 and RuO1C7C12N2. The Ru—Cl1 distance [2.4905 (14) Å], which is trans to the PPh₃ ligand, is longer than the Ru—Cl2 distance [2.4104 (14) Å], similar differences are in agreement with reported value (Deng et al. 2005; Xu et al. 2009). The Ru—N(pyridine) [2.067 (5) Å], Ru—N(quinoline) [2.163 (5) Å], Ru—O [2.060 (3) Å] and Ru—P [2.2931 (15) Å] are similar to reported value (Deng et al. 2005; Xu et al. 2009).

Experimental top

The synthesis of the title compound 1 was carried out as follows. 2-methyl-8-(pyridineyl-2-methoxy)-quinoline (0.286 g, 0.55 mmol) was added to a solution of RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃ (0.491 g, 0.50 mmol) in CH₃OH (25 ml). This mixture was refluxed for 8 h and then evaporated to dryness. The orange solid residue was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (ca 3 ml) and the resulting solution was transferred to a silica gel chromatography column. Elution with CH₂Cl₂/CH₃OH (40:1) gave a yellow-orange band, from which complex 1 was obtained after solvent removal. Crystal of 1 suitable for X-ary structure determination was grown from CH₃OH solution of the complex layered with ethyl ether.

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.
