The title compound, [(S)-2-(anilinomethyl)pyrrolidine-N, N']-chloro(eta(6)-para-cymene)ruthenium(II) chloride, [RuCl-(C(10)H(14))(C(11)H(16)N(2))]Cl, has been synthesized by the reaction of [RuCl(2)(p-cymene)](2) (p-cymene is para-isopropyltoluene) with (S)-2-(anilinomethyl)pyrrolidine in triethylamine/2-propanol. The Ru atom is in a pseudo-tetrahedral environment coordinated by a chloride ligand, the aromatic hydrocarbon is linked in a eta(6) manner and the amine is linked via its two N atoms. The chloride anion is involved in hydrogen bonding with the diamine moieties through N-H.Cl interactions, with N.Cl distances of 3.273 (4) and 3.352 (4) A.
The novel title ruthenium(II) complex, [RuCl(C10H14)(C10H10N3OS)], was synthesized from the reaction of 1,2,4‐triazepine, a new class of bidentate ligands, with [Ru(p‐cymene)Cl2]2. The 1,2,4‐triazepine ligand is coordinated to the metal centre through the N‐4 and S atoms, forming a four‐membered chelate ring. This is the first structural example of a transition metal complex containing a 1,2,4‐triazepine ligand.
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.
