Synthesis and characterization of ruthenium quinolin-8-olate complexes. Unexpected formation of a κ1-hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate complex
Abstract
The complex [Ru(η6-p-MeC6H4Pri)Cl2]2 reacted with K[quin] (quin = quinolin-8-olate) to yield the half-sandwich complex Ru(η6-p-MeC6H4Pri)(quin)Cl 1. Chloride abstraction from 1 with AgCF3SO3 affords the neutral complex Ru(η6-p-MeC6H4Pri)(quin)(κ1O-CF3SO3). The lability of the CF3SO3−
