Abstract
A new water-soluble phosphine Ru complex, [Ru2(μ-Cl)3(P(CH2OH)3)6]Cl, has been prepared from [Ru(PPh3)3Cl2] and P(CH2OH)3 in methanol. The complex was characterized by X-ray analysis. The crystal system is triclinic, space group $P\bar 1$ , a = 9.3659(1) A, b = 13.0976(2) A, c = 16.791(3) A, α = 105.620(5)°, β = 91.114(6)°, γ = 110.193(3)°, V = 1847.3(5) A3, Z = 2. It contains [Ru2(μ-Cl)3(P(CH2OH)3)6]+ and Cl− ions, bound together by hydrogen bonds. Ru has octahedral coordination, with Ru-Cl and Ru-P bond lengths of 2.4815(17)–2.5034(15) and 2.2738(18)–2.2772(18) A, respectively. The RuiRu distance is nonbonding, 3.350(2) A, which is atypical of Ru(II) complexes.
