ORGANOMETALLIC MACROCYCLE CHEMISTRY .4. SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS OF [RUX(CS)(PPH(3))([9]ANES(3))] CLO4 (X=H, CL, SCN, SC(6)H(4)ME-4 - [9]ANES(3)=1,4,7-TRITHIACYCLONONANE)

The reactions of [RuCl2(OH2)(CS)(PPh(3))(2)] and [RuHCl(CS)(PPh(3))(3) ] with 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS(3)) provide the thiacrown com plexes [RuX(CS)(PPh(3))([9]aneS(3))](+) (X = Cl, H; isolated as ClO4- salts). [RuCl(CS)(PPh(3))([9]aneS(3))]ClO4 reacts with potassium 4-tol uenethiolate and potassium thiocyanate to provide the salts [RuX(CS)(P Ph(3))([9]aneS(3))]ClO4 (X = SC(6)H(4)Me-4, SCN) but with sodium azide to provide [RuCl(NCS)(PPh(3))([9]aneS(3))].
