Protonation reactions of [MH(Cl)(PPh3)2(norbornadiene)] (M = Ru, Os)

Protonation of [RuH(Cl)(PPh3)2(NBD)] (NBD = norbornadiene) in benzene with a limiting amount of HOTf gives [RuH(OTf)(PPh3)2(NBD)], norbornene, and [RuCl2(PPh3)2]2. In dichloromethane, [RuH(Cl)(PPh3)2(NBD)] reacts with a limiting amount of HOTf to give [RuH(OTf)(PPh3)2(NBD)], norbornene, and the trimetallic complex [Ru3Cl5(PPh3)6]OTf. In contrast, protonation of [OsH(Cl)(PPh3)2(NBD)] in benzene or dichloromethane with limiting HOTf only gives [OsH(OTf)(PPh3)2(NBD)]. In the protonation of [RuH(Cl)(PPh3)2(NBD)], the norbornene is likely produced through the intermediate [RuH(HCl)(PPh3)2(NBD)]OTf. The involvement of [RuH(HCl)(PPh3)2(NBD)]+ in the formation of norbornene is supported by theoretical calculations based on the B3LYP density functional theory. The fact that norbornene is not produced in the protonation of [OsH(Cl)(PPh3)2(NBD)] can be attributed to the stronger osmium-olefin interaction.

Reactions of MH(OTf)(NBD)(PPh3)2(M = Ru, Os) with H2

Treatment of RuHCl(NBD)(PPh3)2(NBD = norbornadiene) with AgOTf produced RuH-(OTf)(NBD)(PPh3)2. Reaction of RuH(OTf)(NBD)(PPh3)2with H2in benzene gave norbornene and [(η6/su
