摘要
The dimeric starting material [Ru(η<sup>6sup>-p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl]<sub>2sub> reacts with the phosphino-amides o-Ph<sub>2sub>P–C<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub>CO–NH–R [R = <sup>isup>Pr (<strong>astrong>), Ph (<strong>bstrong>), 4-MeC<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub> (<strong>cstrong>), 4-FC<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub> (<strong>dstrong>)] to give the mononuclear compounds <strong>1astrong>–<strong>dstrong> [RuCl(η<sup>6sup>-p-cymene)(o-Ph<sub>2sub>P–C<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub>–CO–NH–R)]Cl. The subsequent reaction of these complexes with KPF<sub>6sub> produced the cationic species <strong>2astrong>–<strong>dstrong> [RuCl(η<sup>6sup>-p-cymene)(o-Ph<sub>2sub>P–C<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub>–CO–NH–R)][PF<sub>6sub>] in which phosphino-amides also act as rigid P,O-chelating ligands. The molecular structures of <strong>2bstrong>–<strong>dstrong> were determined crystallographically. Amide deprotonation is achieved when complexes <strong>2astrong>–<strong>dstrong> were made react with 1 M aqueous solution of KOH, affording the corresponding neutral species <strong>3astrong>–<strong>dstrong> [RuCl(η<sup>6sup>-p-cymene)(o-Ph<sub>2sub>P–C<sub>6sub>H<sub>4sub>–CO–N–R)] in which a P,N-coordination mode is suggested.
