Abstract
The triply chloro-bridged binuclear complexes [Ph3X=O···H···O=XPh3][Ru2Cl7(XPh3)2]·0.5(CH2Cl2)(H2O) (X = As or P) were obtained from [RuCl3(XPh3)2DMA]·DMA (DMA = dimethylacetamide) CH2Cl2/Et2O solution. The structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes are formed from two Ru atoms bridged by three chloride anions. The two ruthenium atoms are also coordinated to two non-bridging Cl atoms and an AsPh3 or PPh3 ligand respectively. As an interesting feature, the cations of these complexes are protons, trapped in a very short hydrogen bond between two triphenylarsine or triphenylphosphine oxide molecules.
