Complexes with Functional Phosphines. Part 8. Interconversion study of , and under CO. Synthesis and X-Ray Structure of

The complex (1) undergoes a reversible one-electron oxidation at +0.77V vs. a saturated calomel electrode (s.c.e.) on a Pt electrode in 1,2-dichloroethane containing 0.1 mol dm-3 NBu4ClO4.A cyclic voltammetric study establishes that under a CO atmosphere, (1) is quantitatively converted into trans,trans,trans- (3) (E1/2 = +1.65 V) via (2) E1/2 =1.35 V).Complex (2) interconverts with (3) via reversible CO co-ordination.Regeneration of (1) from (3) requires u.v. irradiation in the presence of excess L.The reversible one-electron reduction of (4) occurs at -0.22 V.The structure of complex (4) was established by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.Crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121 (no.19), with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions a = 9.104(2), b = 15.511(2), and c = 24.190(2) Angstroem.The structure has been refined to R 0.034 (R' 0.046).The Ru atom has a distorted octahedral environment with the three chlorine atoms in a mer relationship.The chelating ligand is characterized by a Ru-P(2) distance of 2.368(2) Angstroem and a relatively short Ru-O(3) distance of 2.143(5) Angstroem.The distance between Ru and the chlorine atom trans to the co-ordinated ester oxygen is 2.312(2) Angstroem whereas Ru-Cl(2) and Ru-Cl(3) are 2.323(2) and 2.362(2) Angstroem, respectively.
