Abstract

The metastable purple [(Py₅Me₂)Ru^III(N₃)]²⁺ ion reacts with PPh₃ at room temperature to form the phosphinimine complex [(Py₅Me₂)Ru^II(N(H)PPh₃)]²⁺ and free [H₂NPPh₃]⁺ in a combined 23% conversion. Mechanistic studies suggest that this is the first metallo-Staudinger reaction of a late transition metal that bypasses the nitrido mechanism and instead utilizes a Ru–N [double bond, length as m-dash] NN–PPh₃ phosphazide intermediate.
