Description
Summary:In the title compound, [RuCl(C18H15P)(C26H31N2OP)](CF3O3S)·2C3H6O, the RuII ion is coordinated in a three-legged piano stool, half-sandwich-type geometry by a chlorido ligand, a triphenylphosphine and a tethered η6-(phenyl-p-O-methoxy) κ1-P N-diphenylphosphino N′-diisopropyl amidine ligand charge-balanced by a trifluormethansulfonate counter-anion. The η6-coordination mode of the arene incorporated into the structure was generated in situ after addition of methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to the neutral η5-arene tethered precursor complex [RuCl(PPh3)(η5:κ1-OC6H4C(NiPr2)=N-PPh2)] in dichloromethane solution.
