Abstract

[RuCl(NO)2(dppbp)]BF4 (dppbp=(Ph2PCH2)2-) has been synthesised from [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4 and dppbp and characterised in the solid state by a single crystal x-ray determination. The [RuCl(NO)2(dppbp)]+ cation, has an approximately square-pyramidal co-ordination geometry with the dppbp ligand occupying trans-basal sites. The nitrosyl ligand in the apical site is partially bent [Ru-N-O=156.2(7)0] and the nitrosyl ligand in the basal side is essentially linear [Ru-N-O=172.5(6)0]. The1Hn.m.r. spectrum of [RuCl(NO)2(dppbp)]BF4 in solution has provided some insight into the dynamics of the complex in solution.
