The binding of heterobidentate P∧S ligands introduces metal-centered chirality to the planar chiral parent complex Ru(η6:η1-NMe2C6H4C6H4PCy2)Cl2. Observed diastereomeric ratios for the kinetic product vary dramatically depending upon ring size of the chelate formed with the P∧S ligand. The complexes epimerize very slowly to thermodynamic product ratios that are substantially different from the kinetic product ratios.
Graphical abstractBinding of heterobidentate P∧S ligands allow the possibility of producing metal-centered chirality as well as the planar chirality present in the parent complex Ru(η6:η1-NMe2C6H4C6H4PCy2)Cl2. Observed diastereomeric ratios for the kinetic and thermodynamic products vary dramatically depending upon ring size in the chelate formed by the P∧S ligand.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
