A stable hydrido amido ruthenium complex bearing a tridentate iminophosphorane-phosphine-amine ligand.
Résumé
A heterotridentate (P,N,N') ligand featuring phosphine, iminophosphorane, and amine groups has been prepared in high yield. The corresponding dichlororuthenium(II) complex reacts with base in 2-propanol to give a stable hydrido amido complex. The lack of hydrogens that are to the amine allowed for the isolation and structural characterization of this hydrido amido species by X-ray diffraction.
