Tertiary to secondary reduction of aminomethylphosphane derived from 1-ethylpiperazine as a result of its coordination to ruthenium(II) centre - The first insight into the nature of process

Introduction of tertiary aminomethylphosphane P{CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3}3 to methanolic solution of [Ru(η5-C5H5)Cl(PPh3)2] and NaBF4, instead of substitution of the chloride leads to cleavage of aminomethylphosphane's PCH2 bond and formation of complex [Ru(η5 C5H5)PH{CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3}2(PPh3)2]BF4.142
