N,N′-Diphenylguanidinato complexes of ruthenium,
osmium and iridium
*
Abstract
N,N′-Diphenylguanidine reacted with
the hydrido complexes [MH

(CO)(PPh

)
3
]
(M = Ru or Os) and
mer-[IrH
3
(PPh

)
3
] in boiling
toluene to afford the complexes
[MH{PhNC(NH

2
]
and
[IrH
2
{PhNC(NH
2
)NPh}(PPh

2
] in which the
N,N′-diphenylguanidinate anions adopt a
symmetrical chelate co-ordination mode. Under similar conditions the
trifluoroacetato complexes
[M(O

2
(CO)(PPh

] containing one chelate
N,N′-diphenylguanidinate anion and one
monodentate N,N′-diphenylguanidine
ligand. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that the trifluoroacetate
anions are hydrogen bonded to one or more of the N-bound hydrogens.
