- Synthesis and structural and spectroscopic characterization of new Ru II-dmso precursors with face-capping ligands for use in self-assembly reactions
-
The aim of this work is the preparation of new, easy-to-make, octahedral RuII precursors with facial geometry to be used in self-assembly reactions. We chose dmso as a leaving group and 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS3), tris(pyrazolyl)methane [CH(pz)3, pz = pyrazol-1-yl], or triphos [CH3C(CH2-PPh2) 3] as the face-capping ligand (fcl). We describe here the preparation and structural characterization of three new dicationic RuII complexes (as triflate salts) of the type fac-[Ru(fcl)(solv)3] 2+, namely fac-[Ru([9]aneS3)(dmso-O)(dmso-S) 2]2+ (3b), which equilibrates in solution with the linkage isomer fac-[Ru([9]aneS3)(dmso-O)2(dmso-S)]2+ (3a), fac-[Ru{CH(pz)3}(dmso-O)(dmso-S)2]2+ (7), and fac-[Ru(triphos)(dmso-O)2(H2O)]2+ (9). In all cases the preferred synthetic procedure involved coordination of the face-capping ligand to cis-[RuCl2(dmso)4] first, followed by replacement of the chlorides with dmso (or water) molecules assisted by addition of AgCF3SO3 (AgOTf). NMR investigations showed that hydrolysis of the dmso ligands occurs very easily for 3 in water and for 9 in chloroform, while for complex 7 only the O-bound dmso ligand is replaced in water. In the course of this work, the following complexes were also isolated and structurally characterized: fac-[Ru([9]aneS3)Cl(dmso-S) 2][OTf] (2), trans,cis,cis-[RuCl2(dmso-S) 2{CH(pz)2(pz)}] (4), trans,cis,cis-[RuCl 2(dmso-S)2(pzH)2] (5), fac-[Ru{CH(pz) 3}Cl2(dmso-S)] (6), fac-[Ru([9]aneS3)(py) 3][OTf]2 (11), fac-[Ru([9]aneS3)(py) 2-(CH3CN)][OTf]2 (13), and fac-[Ru([9]aneS 3O)(dmso-O)2(dmso-S)][OTf]2 ([9]aneS 3O = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane 1-oxide); in 4 the tripodal tris(pyrazolyl)methane acts as a bidentate ligand.
