Preferred Abstract (Original):
The hemilability of the ether-phosphine ligand [Ph2PCH2CH2OMe] was recorded during complexes 1 and 2 synthesis. The structures of both 1 and 2 have been deduced from elemental analysis, IR, EXAF, FAB-mass spectrometry, 1H, 13C{1H} and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. One of the chloride atoms in 1 was abstracted using AgOTf reagent to prepare the mono-cationic O-Ru-P closed 2. By treatment complex 2 with excess amount of NH4Cl in 2-propanol complex 1 was re-prepared. FAB-MS, EXAF and 31P{1H}-NMR served to monitor the hemilability of the ether-phosphine in 1 and 2 at RT.
Neutral complex 1 and mono-cationic complex 2 were made available using Ph2PCH2CH2OCH3 and 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine ligands. One of the chloride atoms in complex 1 was abstracted by AgOTf to prepare the mono-cationic O–Ru–P closed complex 2. The hemilability of hybrid ether-phosphine ligand in such complexes was monitored by 31P{1H} NMR and confirmed by X-ray single crystal. XRD structure of complex 2 was found to be a Trigonal crystal system with P3 space group and Z = 6.
