A number of (indenyl)ruthenium complexes containing dppf [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene] and heterocyclic thiolato/thione ligands have been synthesized. All the complexes were fully characterized by microanalytical and spectroscopic techniques, together with X-ray diffraction analyses for those containing the benzothiazolato (thiolato) and the thiadiazole (thione) ligands. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments indicated that these complexes can be oxidized in three one-electron processes at positive potentials. Differences in chemical reversibility observed during variable-temperature CV experiments indicated that it was likely that the oxidation processes occurred at two electronically non-communicating sites within the molecules. One site could be assigned as the oxidation of the Ru ion (two one-electron processes), whilst the second site was assigned as the oxidation of the dppf (one one-electron process).

Reactivity and X-ray structural studies in ligand substitution of [Cp/(Ind)-Ru(dppf)Cl] - Epimerisation in [Cp/(Ind)Ru(Josiphos)Cl] {Cp = η5-C5H5, Ind = η5-C 7H9, dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene, Josiphos = (R)-(-)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocenyl] ethyldicyclohexylphosphane}

Ligand substitution of [(Ind)Ru(PPh3)2Cl] (1) led to the isolation of [(Ind)Ru(PPh3)(Ph2P(CH2) 2C9H7}Cl] (2), [(Ind)Ru(dppf)Cl] (3) and [(Ind)Ru{(Ph2PCH2)3CMe}]PF6 ([4]PF6), and diastereoisomers [(R)- and (S)-(Ind)Ru(Josiphos)Cl] [(R)-5 and (S)-5], where (R)-(S)-Josiphos is the ferrocene-based chiral diphosphane ligand (R)-(-)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocenyl] ethyldicyclohexylphosphane. The Cp analogues of 5, viz. (R)-6 and (S)-6, were also obtained from [CpRu(PPh3)2Cl] (1a). Josiphos-dependent epimerisation was observed, with conversion of the (S) isomer to the (R) isomer in both cases. Chloride abstraction of 3 with NaPF 6 in CH3CN and NaN3 in EtOH gave [(Ind)Ru(dppf)(CH3CN)]PF6 ([7]PF6) and [(Ind)Ru(dppf)(N3)] (8), respectively. The azido ligand in 8 underwent [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give a N-bound bis-(methoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3-triazolato complex, 9. X-ray crystal structures of the new complexes, except (R)-5, (S)-5 and (S)-6, have been determined. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
