Arene ruthenium bis-saccharinato complexes: Synthesis, molecular structure and catalytic oxidation properties in aqueous solution

2011, Thai, Trieu-Tien, Therrien, Bruno, Süss-Fink, Georg

Arene ruthenium complexes [(η6-arene)Ru(sacc)2(OH2)] (arene = para-cymeme, benzene) containing an aqua and two saccharinato ligands have been synthesized from [(η6-arene)RuCl2]2 and sodium saccharinate in a water-ethanol mixture (1:1). The aqua complex [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(sacc)2(OH2)] reacts with acetonitrile to give the acetonitrile complex [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(sacc)2(NCMe)]. The corresponding benzene derivative [(η6-C6H6)Ru(sacc)2(NCMe)] was obtained from [(η6-C6H6)RuCl2]2 and saccNa in an acetonitrile-methanol mixture (1:1). All new complexes show a piano-stool geometry with two mono-hapto nitrogen-bonded saccharinato ligands in addition to a H2O or MeCN ligand. All complexes of the type [(η6-arene)Ru(sacc)2(OH2)] and [(η6-arene)Ru(sacc)2(NCMe)] were found to catalyze the oxidation of secondary alcohols with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (ButOOH) to give the corresponding ketones in aqueous solution.

Study of novel η5-cyclopentadienyl and η6-arene platinum group metal complexes containing a N4-type ligand and their structural characterization

2009, Gupta, Gajendra, Yap, Glenn P.A., Therrien, Bruno, Rao, Kollipara Mohan

The mononuclear η5-cyclopentadienyl complexes [(η5-C5H5)Ru(PPh3)2Cl], [(η5-C5H5)Os(PPh3)2Br] and pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complex [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(PPh3)2Cl] react in the presence of 1 eq. of the tetradentate N,N′-chelating ligand 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (bpp-H) and 1 eq. of NH4PF6 in methanol to afford the mononuclear complexes [(η5-C5H5)Ru(PPh3)(bpp-H)]PF6 ([1]PF6), [(η5-C5H5)Os(PPh3)(bpp-H)]PF6 ([2]PF6) and [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(PPh3)(bpp-H)]PF6 ([3]PF6), respectively. The dinuclear η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes [(η5-C5Me5)Rh(μ-Cl)Cl]2 and [(η5-C5Me5)Ir(μ-Cl)Cl]2 as well as the dinuclear η6-arene ruthenium complexes [(η6-C6H6)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 and [(η6-p-iPrC6H4Me)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 react with 2 eq. of bpp-H in the presence of NH4PF6 or NH4BF4 to afford the corresponding mononuclear complexes [(η5-C5Me5)Rh(bpp-H)Cl]PF6 ([4]PF6), [(η5-C5Me5)Ir(bpp-H)Cl]PF6 ([5]PF6), [(η6-C6H6)Ru(bpp-H)Cl]BF4 ([6]BF4) and [(η6-p-iPrC6H4Me)Ru(bpp-H)Cl]BF4 ([7]BF4). However, in the presence of 1 eq. of bpp-H and NH4BF4 the reaction with the same η6-arene ruthenium complexes affords the dinuclear salts [(η6-C6H6)2Ru2 (bpp)Cl2]BF4 ([8]BF4) and [(η6-p-iPrC6H4Me)2Ru2 (bpp)Cl2]BF4 ([9]BF4), respectively. These compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectrometry, as well as by elemental analysis. The molecular structures of [1]PF6, [5]PF6 and [8]BF4 have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and some representative complexes have been studied by UV–vis spectroscopy.

Half sandwich platinum group metal complexes containing tetradentate N-donor ligand bearing two pyrazolyl-pyridine units linked by an aromatic spacer

2010, Gupta, Gajendra, Therrien, Bruno, Rao, Kollipara Mohan

Reaction of the bis-bidentate ligand, 1,3-bis((3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene (NN∩NN), containing two chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine units connected by an aromatic spacer with platinum group metal complexes results in a series of cationic binuclear complexes, [(η6-arene)2Ru2(NN∩NN)Cl2]2+ (arene = C6H6, 1; p-iPrC6H4Me, 2; C6Me6, 3), [(η5-C5Me5)2M2(NN∩NN)Cl2]2+ (M = Rh, 4; Ir, 5), [(η5-C5H5)2M2(NN∩NN)(PPh3)2]2+ (M = Ru, 6; Os, 7), [(η5-C5Me5)2Ru2(NN∩NN)(PPh3)2]2+ (8) and [(η5-C9H7)2Ru2(NN∩NN)(PPh3)2]2+ (9). All these complexes have been isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts and fully characterized by use of a combination of NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The solid state structures of three complexes, [2][PF6]2, [4][PF6]2 and [6][PF6]2, has been determined by X-ray crystallographic studies.

Arene ruthenium oxinato complexes: Synthesis, molecular structure and catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution

2009, Thai, Trieu-Tien, Therrien, Bruno, Süss-Fink, Georg

Two families of arene ruthenium oxinato complexes of the types [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)Cl] and [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)(OH2)]+ have been synthesized from the dinuclear precursors [(η6-arene)RuCl2]2 (arene = para-cymeme or hexamethylbenzene) and the corresponding oxine LH (LH = 8-hydroxyquinoline, 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, 5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline, 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline, 5,7-dichloro-2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline). The molecular structures of the neutral chloro complexes [(η6-C6Me6)Ru(η2-N,O-L)Cl] (LH = 8-hydroxyquinoline, 5,7-dichloro-2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline) and [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(η2-N,O-L)Cl] (LH = 5,7-dichloro-2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline) as well as those of the cationic aqua derivatives [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(η2-N,O-L)(OH2)]+ (LH = 8-hydroxyquinoline, 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline), isolated as the tetrafluoroborate salts, show in all cases a piano-stool arrangement with the arene ligand, the chelating oxinato ligand and the chloro or the aqua ligand surrounding the ruthenium center in a pseudo-tetrahedral fashion. The analogous reaction of [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)RuCl2]2 with other N,O-chelating ligands such as 2-pyridinemethanol or tetrahydrofurfurylamine did not give the expected analogs but resulted in the formation of the complexes [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(η2-NC5H4CH2OH)Cl]+ and [(η6-MeC6H4Pri)Ru(η1-NHCH2C4H3O)Cl2]. The neutral and cationic complexes of the types [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)Cl] and [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)(OH2)]+ have been found to catalyze the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to give formate in alkaline aqueous solution with catalytic turnovers up to 400.

Reactions of 0.5 eq. of the dinuclear complexes [(η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 (arene = η6-C6H6, η6-p-iPrC6H4Me) and [(Cp∗)M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 (M = Rh, Ir; Cp∗ = η5-C5Me5) with 4,6-disubstituted pyrazolyl-pyrimidine ligands (L) viz. 4,6-bis(pyrazolyl)pyrimidine (L1), 4,6-bis(3-methyl-pyrazolyl)pyrimidine (L2), 4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolyl)pyrimidine (L3) lead to the formation of the cationic mononuclear complexes [(η6-C6H6)Ru(L)Cl]+ (L = L1, 1; L2, 2; L3, 3), [(η6-piPrC6H4Me)Ru(L)Cl]+ (L = L1, 4; L2, 5; L3, 6), [(Cp∗)Rh(L)Cl]+ (L = L1, 7; L2, 8; L3, 9) and [(Cp∗)Ir(L)Cl]+ (L = L1, 10; L2, 11; L3, 12), while reactions with 1.0 eq. of the dinuclear complexes [(η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 and [(Cp∗)M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 give rise to the dicationic dinuclear complexes [{(η6-C6H6)RuCl}2(L)]2+ (L = L1, 13; L2, 14; L3, 15), [{(η6-p-iPrC6H4Me)RuCl}2(L)]2+ (L = L1, 16; L2, 17; L3, 18), [{(Cp∗)RhCl}2(L)]2+ (L = L1, 19; L2, 20; L3, 21) and [{(Cp∗)IrCl}2 (L)]2+ (L = L1 22; L2, 23; L3 24). The molecular structures of [3]PF6, [6]PF6, [7]PF6 and [18](PF6)2 have been established by single crystal X-ray structure analysis.
