μ 3 -Carbonato-κ 3 O : O ′: O ′′-tris{(η 6 -benzene)[( R )-1-(1-aminoethyl)naphthyl-κ 2 C 2 , N ]ruthenium(II)} hexafluoridophosphate dichloromethane solvate
Résumé
The title compound, [Ru3(C12H12N)3(CO3)(C6H6)3]PF6·CH2Cl2, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted deprotonation of the monomeric parent ruthenium complex [Ru(C12H12N)(C6H6)(C2H3N)]PF6. The carbonate ligand bridges three half-sandwich cycloruthenated fragments, each of them exhibiting a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry. The configuration of the Ru atoms is S. The naphthyl groups of the enantiopure cycloruthenated benzylic amine ligands point in the same direction, adopting a propeller shape.
