The first P–N containing RuCl3NO complex: fac-[RuCl3(NO)(P–N)] (P–N = [o-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]diphenylphosphine)

Complex fac-[RuCl3(NO)(P–N)] was synthesized from [RuCl3(H2O)2(NO)] in methanol solution under reflux. The orange solid obtained was characterized by NMR (31P{1H}, 1H, 13C) and, cyclic voltammetry, ESI-MS, IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction structure determination. The 31P{1H} reveals the presence of singlet at 36 ppm. IR N–O stretching as KBr pellets or CH2Cl2 solution presented 1866 cm−1 and 1872 cm−1, respectively.

Graphical abstractThe first P–N containing {RuNO}6 was obtained starting from [RuCl3(H2O)2(NO)]. The fac-isomer was isolated from the reaction and was characterized by NMR (31P, 1H, 13C), ESI-MS, elemental analysis and cyclic voltammetry.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
