Key Words: Oxetanyl-Phosphine, O-Basicity, Ruthenium Complexes, Fluxional Behaviour The new ether-phosphine ligand (oxetanyl-2-methyl)diphenylphosphine (1) with strongly basic properties is obtained by reaction of LiPPh2 with 2-chloromethyloxetane.Reaction of 1 with Cl2Ru(PPh3)3 results in the formation of the bis(chelate) complex trans-Cl2Ru(PO)2 (2). (PO = η1-P-coordinated; PO = η2-O,P-coordinated).With CO only one Ru-O bond is cleaved to give the monocarbonylruthenium(II) complex trans-Cl2Ru(CO)(PO)(PO) (3). 3 shows fluxional behaviour only at higher temperatures as demonstrated by 31P NMR spectra.
