Reaction of [RuCl2(DMSO)4] with aromatic phosphines bearing ortho-methoxy groups †

Methyl–oxygen bond cleavage in hemilabile phosphine–ether ligand of ruthenium(II) complexes

“…Similar ligand-assisted O-dealkylation are observed for the Ru(II) complexes containing hemilabile phosphine-ether ligand [20,23]. However, the pathway of ligand-assisted O-dealkylation still remains unclearly.…”

Synthesis, characterization, reactivity and theoretical studies of ruthenium carbonyl complexes containing ortho-substituted triphenyl phosphanes

“…Instead, the obtained main product was the bis phosphane complex 4. Chelated Ru-(op) complexes have been previously reported in the literature [43,44]. However, the preparation method typically requires the use of higher temperatures, and the syntheses are most commonly carried out under reflux.…”

trans(Cl,Namino)-Chloro(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)[tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-κ4N]ruthenium(II) trichlorotris(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)ruthenate(II)

“…The three Ru-Cl distances range from 2.4307 (11) to 2.4503 (10) Å, and the three Ru-S distances from 2.2643 (10) to 2.2707 (11) Å. These Ru-Cl distances are slightly longer than those of the already reported for the same anion [2.420 (2)-2.438 (2) Å; Yamamoto et al, 1999], while the Ru-S distances are comparable…”
