Abstract
The reaction of xantphos dioxide (O∩O) with the polynuclear precursor [Ru(CO) 2Cl 2] n to give the mononuclear complex [Ru(CO) 2Cl 2(O∩O)]( 1) is reported together with single crystal X-ray structure analyses of both the free ligand and the ruthenium complex. The synthesized compounds have also been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR ( 1H, 31P and 13C) spectroscopy. The ligand O∩O crystallizes with lattice water molecules in a triclinic system with space group P 1 ¯ whereas the complex 1 crystallizes in an orthorhombic system with space group P2 12 12 1. Each mononuclear unit of O∩O and 1 is stabilized in their solid state through non-covalent (C–H···O, C–H···Cl and C–H···π) interactions to develop an extended three-dimensional network structure. The complex 1 exhibits an interesting intramolecular O···O interaction between one of the P O groups and backbone O leading to different electron donacity of two P O groups to the metal centre.
