Article Description

The reactivity of the (o-phosphinophenyl)(amino)borane compound HB(N Pr )C H (o-PPh ) prepared from Li(C H )PPh and HBCl(N Pr ) toward the bis(dihydrogen) complex RuH (H ) (PCy ) (1) was studied by a combination of DFT, X-ray, and multinuclear NMR techniques including solid-state NMR, a technique rarely employed in organometallic chemistry. The study showed that the complex RuH {HB(N Pr )C H (o-PPh )} (PCy ) (3), isolated in excellent yield as yellow crystals and characterized by X-ray diffraction, led in solution to PCy dissociation and formation of an unsaturated 16-electron complex RuH {HB(N Pr )C H (o-PPh )}(PCy ) (4), with a hydride trans to a vacant site. In both cases, the (phosphinoaryl)(amino)borane acts as a bifunctional ligand through the phosphine moiety and a Ru-H-B interaction, thus featuring an agostic interaction. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
