Irreversible Binding of Dioxygen and other Gases to a Half-sandwich Ruthenium(II) Complex: X-Ray Structure of 2-O2)(η5-C5Me5)(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)>PF6

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39930000892

The half-sandwich compound 5-C5Me5)(dppe)>Cl 1 is shown to coordinate simple inorganic gases viz.H2, Cl2, NO and O2; of these the side-on bonded peroxide 2-O2)(η⁵-C5Me5)(dppe)>⁺ 2 is described in more detail including its X-ray crystal structure.
