Synthesis of the first ruthenium (III) high complex: novel {RuNO} 5 d electron and {RuNO} 7 d electron complexes
Abstract
Nitrosyl chloride reacts with hydrated ruthenium trichlorilde in the presence of triphenylphosphine (Ru : PPh3= 1 : 8) to give the pink RuIIIhigh spin complex NH4[Ru(NO)Cl5], NH4Cl, and the green {RuNO} 7 d electron complex [Ru(NO)Cl2(PPh3)]2 which reacts with PPh3 to give the yellow {RuNO} 7 d electron complex Ru(NO)Cl2(PPh3)2.
