29Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopically. Thepolymeric phosphines
I1,
II0-
II4,
IV1, and
V1 show higher degrees of condensation than thecorresponding ruthenium(II) complexes
VI1,
VII0,
VII1,
VIII1, and
IX1. Bond lengths of theruthenium(II) complex in the stationary phase
VII0 were elucidated by an EXAFS analysis.From relaxation time studies (
T1P,
T1
H) and cross-polarization experiments (
TPH), it isconcluded that the polymeric phosphines
I1,
II0-
II4,
IV1, and
V1 reveal an increasing mobilitywith longer alkyl spacers between the polymer and the P-functionality and an increasingamount of the co-condensation agent
D0-
C6-
D0. Owing to the multiple fixation of theruthenium centers to the polymeric matrixes in the stationary phases
VI1,
VII0,
VII1,
VIII1,
IX1, and
X4, the mobility in these materials is reduced.
1H,
13C-2D-WISE NMR investigationson the interphase set up by
X4 and EtOH point to a remarkable decrease of the rigid charactercompared to the stationary phase
X4 without EtOH.
