M. Ogasawara et al., AGOSTIC INTERACTION AND HYDROGEN-EXCHANGE IN COORDINATIVELY UNSATURATED RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 12(9), 1993, pp. 3393-3395
The agostic interaction in coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium comple
xes [RuH(P-P)2]PF6 (P-P = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) and
ene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (diop)) was investi
gated by H-1 NMR studies. The hydrogen exchange between the agostic hy
drogen in the phosphine ligand and the terminal hydride in each of com
plexes is reported.
