The five-coordinate complexes
RuCl2(P-N)(PR3) (P-N =
o-(diphenylphosphino)-N,N-dimethylaniline;
R = Ph or p-tolyl) in solution reversibly bind
H2S at ambient conditions. The isolated products are
characterized spectroscopically, and the p-tolyl species is
structurally characterized by X-ray analysis; there is close to
octahedral geometry at the Ru with cis-chlorides and the
H2S trans to a chloride. The
p-tolyl species is also formed in the solid state by
reaction of H2S with the powdered five-coordinate
precursor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
