Synthesis and Structure of a Mixed-Ligand Dinuclear Ruthenium Trihydrido Complex Supported by Cn* and Cp* Ligands (Cn* = 1,4,7-Trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, Cp* = η5-C5Me5): Enhancement of Reactivity toward CO2by Introduction of the Cn* Ligand

Abstract: The novel mixed-ligand diruthenium trihydrido complex Cn*Ru(μ-H)3RuCp* (2; Cn* = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, Cp* = η5-C5Me5) was synthesized, and its structure was determined by an X-ray diffraction study. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for 2 revealed that the electron density at the Cn*-ligated ruthenium atom is higher than that at the Cp*-ligated ruthenium atom. Whereas the unmixed Cp*,Cp*-ligated Cp*Ru(μ-H)4RuCp* (5) exhibited no reactivity toward CO2 at 20 atm, the mixed-ligand c… Show more

“…The validity of the notably lower shift of the hydride ligand was demonstrated by gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) calculations (see Supporting Information). A signal for the proton attached to the μ-formato carbon appears at δ 6.80, which is comparable to the chemical shifts observed in the analogous μ-formato complexes Cp*Ru(μ-OCHO) 2 (μ-H) 2 RuCp* (δ 6.75) and Cn*Ru(μ-OCHO) 2 (μ-H)RuCp* (δ 7.85) . The proton-coupled 13 C NMR spectrum of 2a recorded at 25 °C exhibits a set of doublet signals characteristic of the μ-formato group at δ 171.1.…”

“…The electron density at the ruthenium atom bonded to the Cn* ligand should be markedly increased due to the strong σ-donor character of the Cn* ligand. As expected, the mixed-ligand complex Cn*Ru(μ-H) 3 RuCp* smoothly reacted with CO 2 to afford a di-μ-formato complex, Cn*Ru(μ-η 1 :η 1 -O 2 CH) 2 (μ-H)RuCp* ( 8 ), whereas the reaction of pressurized CO 2 with a homoligand dinuclear complex, Cp*Ru(μ-H) 4 RuCp*, was hampered owing to a lack in nucleophilicity of the Ru centers. We synthesized a new type of mixed-ligand complex containing Cn* and bulky phosphine ligands.…”

“…The Ru1–Ru2 distances of 3a – c were 2.4757(5), 2.4761(6), and 2.4785(3) Å, respectively, and they were hardly affected by variations in phosphine ligands. These values were comparable to the Ru–Ru distances of a 30e diruthenium trihydrido complex with hexamethylbenzene ligands, [{(η 6 -C 6 Me 6 )Ru} 2 (μ-H) 3 ](PF 6 ) (2.4681(4) Å), and a diruthenium trihydrido complex with Cn* and Cp* ligands, Cn*Ru(μ-H) 3 RuCp* (2.4676(6) Å) . On the other hand, there were small differences in the P1–Ru2–P2 angles among 3a (115.83(4)°), 3b (114.79(5)°), and 3c (111.67(3)°) that are likely due to the bulkiness of the phosphine ligands.…”
