Photolysis of the cyclotriphosphato complex (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(畏6-C6H6)] (2) with bpy (2,2鈥?bipyridyl) in alcohols generated a violet solution of (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(bpy)(ROH)] (3) with a labile alcohol ligand. Complexes 3 were readily oxidized during recrystallization to give the Ru(III) alkoxo complexes (PPN)[Ru(OR)(P3O9)(bpy)] (4). Treatment of 3 with internal alkynes led to selective formation of 畏2-alkyne complexes (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(bpy)(畏2-RC鈮R鈥?] (7), which did not undergo vinylidene rearrangement under heating and photoirradiation conditions in contrast to its dppe analogues. On the other hand, diphenylacetylene complex 7c (R = R鈥?= Ph) gave the 伪-ketocarbene complex (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(bpy)(鈺怌PhCOPh)] (8) on reaction with m-CPBA. This observation provides a very rare example for the direct and controlled oxidation of a coordinated alkyne ligand. Reactions of 3 with the terminal alkynes in alcohols and in DMF afforded the alkoxycarbene complexes (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(bpy){鈺怌(OR)CH2CR鈥瞹] (9) and the carbonyl complex (PPN)[Ru(P3O9)(CO)(bpy)] (12), respectively, presumably by way of vinylidene intermediates.
