Abstract

{The reaction of LiN(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2 with RuCl2(PPh3)3 leads to the formation of the ruthenium amide complex RuCl(PPh3)[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]. This complex reacts with H2 to form two isomeric amine-hydride derivatives of the formula RuCl(PPh3)H[NH(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]. Reaction of RuCl(PPh3)[N-(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2] with MeLi, Me3SiCH2Li, or H2C = CHCH2MgCl does not lead to the expected hydrocarbyl derivative; rather, ortho metalation occurs to generate Ru(C6H4PPh2)[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]. Attempts to displace the PPh3 ligand of RuCl(PPh3)[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2] with PEt3 lead to the formation of RuCl(C6H4PPh2)[NH(SiMe2PPh2)2], having an amine ligand and the ortho-metalated phenyl group. The complex RuCl(C6H4PPh2)[NH(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2] crystallizes in space group P2(1)/n with a = 9.8385 (5) angstrom
