On the Reactions of [rucl2(pph3)3] with Thia Crown Ethers - Molecular-structures of [rucl2(pph3)([9]anes3)] ([9]anes3 = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) and [rucl(pph3)([14]anes4)clo4 ([14]anes4 = 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane): Molecular structures of [RuCl₂(PPh₃)([9]aneS₃)] ([9]aneS₃ = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) and [RuCl(PPh₃)([14]aneS₄)]ClO₄ ([14]aneS₄ = 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane)

Abstract

The reaction of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS3) gives the neutral complex [RuCl2(PPh3)([9]aneS3)] while the same complex with 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane ([14]aneS4) followed by chloride-perchlorate metathesis provides the salt cis-[RuCl(PPh3)([14]aneS4)]ClO4. The structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
