[RuHCl(CO)(P(p—C6H4CH3)3)3] (324 mg, 0.3 mmol; Stephenson & Wilkinson, 1966) was reacted with K[H2Bpz2] (74 mg, 0.4 mmol; Trofimenko, 1970) in boiling toluene (30 ml) solution under a nitrogen atmosphere for 18 h, to give a green solution. After being cooled and filtered, the clear filtrate was evaporated on a rotary evaporator to dryness. The resultant residue was dissolved in a small amount of acetone (5 ml) and this solution was set aside in air. Colourless crystals were obtained in a few days by slow evaporation of the solvent. X-ray quality crystals were collected from the mother liquor, washed with n-hexane and dried in air. Spectroscopic analysis: IR (cm-1, KBr): ν(BH) 2396, 2344, 2294, ν(CO) 1932; 1H NMR (293 K, CDCl3, TMS, Bruker 500 MHz, p.p.m.): δ(Ru—H) -11.8 (t, 2J = 21.5 Hz).
All H atoms were included in calculated postions and treated as riding, except for those bonded to B and Ru which were refined with isotropic displacement parameters.
Our recent structural investigations of several hydridocarbonyl RuII complexes containing bidentate anionic dihydrobis(pyrazol-1-yl)borates, [H2B(pz*)2]- (pz* = pyrazol-1-yl rings with various substituents), have revealed that these compounds often form novel cyclic dimers consisting of mutual intermolecular hydrogen bonds, namely Ru—C≡O···H, where H belongs to a phenyl or pyrazolyl ring of a neighbouring molecule. We have been interested in this type of hydrogen bonding because this motif can be a good candidate for crystal engineering of organometallic compounds. Both [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (II), and [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-H2B(4-Brpz)2)], (III), display respective intermolecular hydrogen-bond dimensions of Ru—C≡O···HPh 2.5834 Å and 144.56°, and Ru—C≡O···Hpz 2.5960 Å and 172.23°, where Ph and pz represent the phenyl and the pyrazolyl ring, respectively (Huh, Kim, Park, Youm et al., 1999). It is interesting to note that the sources of the hydrogen bonding (H donor groups) are different in each of the compounds studied. Furthermore, such intermolecular hydrogen bonding leading to the dimeric motif could not be observed when we prepared the compound [RuH(CO)(AsPh3)2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (IV), using AsPh3 in place of PPh3 (Huh, Kim, Park, Park & Jun, 1999).
In this study, an analogous RuII complex having substituted phenyl groups in the PPh3 moieties has been prepared, to test the effect of the structural variation in the PPh3 moiety on the formation of the dimeric motif. Instead of PPh3, we have chosen a tri-p-tolylphosphine, P(p—C6H4CH3)3, whose cone angle is also 145° (Tolman, 1977). This ligand has a methyl group at the para position in each phenyl ring. In our synthesis of the title compound, [RuH(CO){P(p—C6H4CH3)3}2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (I), we had anticipated obtaining another example of the novel cyclic dimer via the mutual intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Quite unexpectedly, however, we have not been able to obtain the dimeric motif but only the monomeric form in (I). \scheme
Compound (I) shows the same ligand geometry as (II) and (III). The two Ru—P bond distances are also comparable with those of (II) and (III) [2.3578 (12) ~2.3841 (12) Å] (Please clarify). However, the Ru1—P2 length is longer than Ru1—P1 by about 0.025 Å. Although the para-positioned methyl groups of the phosphines do not seem to affect the Ru—P bond distances significantly, they do affect the bond angle of P1—Ru1—P2, whose value is 166.69 (5)°.
The two phosphine ligands are tilted toward the small hydride ligand and this is evident from the H1Ru—Ru1—P1 and H1Ru—Ru1—P2 angles of 85.1 (17) and 81.8 (17)°. This significant deviation from linearity can be attributed to the steric repulsions between the phosphines and the tetrahedral BN2H2 moiety, as shown in Fig. 1. The interligand angles of the equatorial donor atoms lie in the range 87.6 (15) to 92.36 (19)° and these values are only slightly different from 90°. The bond distances of Ru1 and other donor atoms are not significantly different from those of complexes (II) and (III). Moreover, the five atoms Ru1, H1Ru, C1, N1 and N3 are almost coplanar: the r.m.s. deviation of these five atoms from the best plane is only 0.035 Å. The angle between the two pyrazolyl rings is 152.2 (4)° (check e.s.d.) and this value is very similar to that in (III).
Two very weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds, C62—H62A···N3 and C62—H62A···N4, have dimensions of 2.549 (4) and 2.508 (5) Å (H···N) and 118.4 (4) and 148.9 (4)° (C—H···N), respectively (check 4 e.s.d.'s).

Experimental. The program DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) uses a scaling algorithm (Fox & Holmes, 1996) which effectively corrects for absorption effects. High redundancy data were used in the scaling program hence the 'multi-scan' code word was used. No transmission coefficients are available from the program (only scale factors for each frame). The scale factors in the experimental table are calculated from the 'size' command in the SHELXL97 input file. |
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. |

Our recent structural investigations of several hydridocarbonyl RuII complexes containing bidentate anionic dihydrobis(pyrazol-1-yl)borates, [H2B(pz*)2]- (pz* = pyrazol-1-yl rings with various substituents), have revealed that these compounds often form novel cyclic dimers consisting of mutual intermolecular hydrogen bonds, namely Ru—C≡O···H, where H belongs to a phenyl or pyrazolyl ring of a neighbouring molecule. We have been interested in this type of hydrogen bonding because this motif can be a good candidate for crystal engineering of organometallic compounds. Both [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (II), and [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-H2B(4-Brpz)2)], (III), display respective intermolecular hydrogen-bond dimensions of Ru—C≡O···HPh 2.5834 Å and 144.56°, and Ru—C≡O···Hpz 2.5960 Å and 172.23°, where Ph and pz represent the phenyl and the pyrazolyl ring, respectively (Huh, Kim, Park, Youm et al., 1999). It is interesting to note that the sources of the hydrogen bonding (H donor groups) are different in each of the compounds studied. Furthermore, such intermolecular hydrogen bonding leading to the dimeric motif could not be observed when we prepared the compound [RuH(CO)(AsPh3)2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (IV), using AsPh3 in place of PPh3 (Huh, Kim, Park, Park & Jun, 1999).
In this study, an analogous RuII complex having substituted phenyl groups in the PPh3 moieties has been prepared, to test the effect of the structural variation in the PPh3 moiety on the formation of the dimeric motif. Instead of PPh3, we have chosen a tri-p-tolylphosphine, P(p—C6H4CH3)3, whose cone angle is also 145° (Tolman, 1977). This ligand has a methyl group at the para position in each phenyl ring. In our synthesis of the title compound, [RuH(CO){P(p—C6H4CH3)3}2(η2-H2Bpz2)], (I), we had anticipated obtaining another example of the novel cyclic dimer via the mutual intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Quite unexpectedly, however, we have not been able to obtain the dimeric motif but only the monomeric form in (I). \scheme
Compound (I) shows the same ligand geometry as (II) and (III). The two Ru—P bond distances are also comparable with those of (II) and (III) [2.3578 (12) ~2.3841 (12) Å] (Please clarify). However, the Ru1—P2 length is longer than Ru1—P1 by about 0.025 Å. Although the para-positioned methyl groups of the phosphines do not seem to affect the Ru—P bond distances significantly, they do affect the bond angle of P1—Ru1—P2, whose value is 166.69 (5)°.
The two phosphine ligands are tilted toward the small hydride ligand and this is evident from the H1Ru—Ru1—P1 and H1Ru—Ru1—P2 angles of 85.1 (17) and 81.8 (17)°. This significant deviation from linearity can be attributed to the steric repulsions between the phosphines and the tetrahedral BN2H2 moiety, as shown in Fig. 1. The interligand angles of the equatorial donor atoms lie in the range 87.6 (15) to 92.36 (19)° and these values are only slightly different from 90°. The bond distances of Ru1 and other donor atoms are not significantly different from those of complexes (II) and (III). Moreover, the five atoms Ru1, H1Ru, C1, N1 and N3 are almost coplanar: the r.m.s. deviation of these five atoms from the best plane is only 0.035 Å. The angle between the two pyrazolyl rings is 152.2 (4)° (check e.s.d.) and this value is very similar to that in (III).
Two very weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds, C62—H62A···N3 and C62—H62A···N4, have dimensions of 2.549 (4) and 2.508 (5) Å (H···N) and 118.4 (4) and 148.9 (4)° (C—H···N), respectively (check 4 e.s.d.'s).
