The diphosphine-ruthenium complex, [Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl] (dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene), where the two carbonyls are mutually and the two chlorides are , has been found to serve as an efficient precursor for the synthesis of new complexes. In [Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl] one of the two carbonyls undergoes facile displacement by neutral monodentate ligands (L) to afford complexes of the type [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(L)Cl] (L = acetonitrile, 4-picoline and dimethyl sulfoxide). Both the carbonyls in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl] are displaced on reaction with another equivalent of dppbz to afford [Ru(dppbz)Cl]. The two carbonyls and the two chlorides in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl] could be displaced together by chelating mono-anionic bidentate ligands, anions derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hq) and 2-picolinic acid (Hpic) loss of a proton, to afford the mixed-tris complexes [Ru(dppbz)(q)] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)], respectively. The molecular structures of four selected complexes, [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(dmso)Cl], [Ru(dppbz)Cl], [Ru(dppbz)(q)] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)], have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In dichloromethane solution, all the complexes show intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry on the complexes shows redox responses within 0.71 to -1.24 V SCE. [Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl] has been found to serve as an excellent pre-catalyst for catalytic transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation.
二膦钌配合物[Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl](dppbz = 1,2 - 双(二苯基膦基)苯)中,两个羰基相互处于特定位置且两个氯原子也处于特定位置,已被发现可作为合成新配合物的有效前体。在[Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl]中,两个羰基之一可被中性单齿配体(L)轻易取代,生成[Ru(dppbz)(CO)(L)Cl]类型的配合物(L = 乙腈、4 - 甲基吡啶和二甲基亚砜)。[Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl]中的两个羰基在与另一当量的dppbz反应时会被取代,生成[Ru(dppbz)Cl]。[Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl]中的两个羰基和两个氯原子可通过螯合单阴离子双齿配体(由8 - 羟基喹啉(Hq)和2 - 吡啶甲酸(Hpic)失去一个质子衍生而来的阴离子)一起被取代,分别生成混合三齿配合物[Ru(dppbz)(q)]和[Ru(dppbz)(pic)]。通过X射线晶体学确定了四种选定配合物[Ru(dppbz)(CO)(dmso)Cl]、[Ru(dppbz)Cl]、[Ru(dppbz)(q)]和[Ru(dppbz)(pic)]的分子结构。在二氯甲烷溶液中,所有配合物在可见光和紫外区域都有强烈吸收。对这些配合物进行循环伏安法测定,显示在相对于饱和甘汞电极(SCE)为0.71至 - 1.24 V的范围内有氧化还原响应。已发现[Ru(dppbz)(CO)Cl]可作为催化转移氢化和欧芬脑尔氧化的优良预催化剂。
