Reactions of NOX (X = Cl, Br, Br₃) with Ruthenium Cyclopentadienyl Complexes. II

Abstract

NOX (X = Cl, Br, Br₃) reacts with χ⁵-cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [Ru(χ⁵-C₅H₅)SnCl₃(EPh₃)L] and [Ru(χ⁵-C₅H₅)(EPh₃)(L-L)]SnCl₃ (where E = As, Sb; L = AsPh₃, SbPh₃, PPh₃, pyridine, χ-picoline; L-L = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline) to give nitrito complexes, in which spectroscopic evidence (ir, ¹H nmr) suggest π-interaction of one of the phenyl rings of the triphenylarsine or triphenylstibine ligand to the ruthenium center. All the products were characterized by microanalyses, electronic, ir and ¹H nmr spectral data.
