Mixed nitrosyl/phosphinidene and nitrene/phosphinidene clusters of ruthenium†
Abstract
Reaction of the aminophosphinidene complex [Ru5(CO)15(μ4-PNPri2)]
1 with [PPN][NO2] (PPN = Ph3PN
PPh3)
led to the mixed nitrosyl/phosphinidene cluster complex [PPN][Ru5(CO)13(μ-NO)(μ4-PNPri2)]
2 which is transformed into the novel nitrene/phosphinidene cluster [Ru5(CO)10(μ-CO)2(μ3-CO)(μ4-NH)(μ3-PNPri2)]
3via treatment with triflic acid.
