The first P–N containing RuCl 3NO complex: fac-[RuCl 3(NO)(P–N)] (P–N = [ o-( N, N-dimethylamino)phenyl]diphenylphosphine)

Abstract

Complex fac-[RuCl 3(NO)(P–N)] was synthesized from [RuCl 3(H 2O) 2(NO)] in methanol solution under reflux. The orange solid obtained was characterized by NMR ( 31P{ 1H}, 1H, 13C) and, cyclic voltammetry, ESI-MS, IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction structure determination. The 31P{ 1H} reveals the presence of singlet at 36 ppm. IR N–O stretching as KBr pellets or CH 2Cl 2 solution presented 1866 cm −1 and 1872 cm −1, respectively.
