The known, green, five-coordinate species trans-RuCl2(P-N) (PPh3) react with R′SH thiols to give yellow cis-RuCl 2(P-N)(PPh3)(R′SH) products (P-N = o-diphenylphosphino-N,N′-dimethylaniline; R′ = alkyl). The MeSH and EtSH compounds are structurally characterized, with the former being the first reported for a transition metal-MeSH complex, while the thiol complexes with R′ = nPr, iPr, nPn (pentyl), nHx (hexyl), and Bn (benzyl) are synthesized in situ. Other trans-RuX2(P-N)(PR3) complexes (X = Br, I; R = Ph, p-tolyl) are synthesized, and their H2S adducts, of a type reported earlier by our group, are also prepared. Thermodynamic data are presented for the reversible formation of the MeSH and EtSH complexes and the H2S analogues. The RuIICl2(P-N)(PPh3) complex in solution decomposes under O2 to form [RuIIICl(P-N)] 2(μ-O)(μ-Cl)2.
