HEMILABILE PROPERTIES OF THE ETA(3)-ALLYLDIPHENYLPHOSPHINE (ADPP) HOMOPHOSPHAALLYL LIGAND - SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS OF [(ETA(5)-C5ME5)RU(ETA(3)-ADPP)(ETA(1)-ADPP)][PF6]

Pentamethylcyclopentadienylruthenium(II) half-sandwich complexes conta
ining the alkenyl phosphine ligand allyldiphenylphosphine (ADPP) are d
escribed. ADPP reacts with [(eta(5)-C5Me5)RuCl2](2) to give the disubs
tituted ruthenium(II) compound [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(eta(3)-ADPP)(eta(1)-A
DPP)] [PF6] (1). The dynamic behavior of compound 1 has been studied b
y variable temperature H-1 and P-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopy. The hemilab
ile properties of the novel eta(3)-ADPP ligand, a neutral monometallic
homophosphaallyl, are illustrated by reactions of compound 1 with sod
ium thiocyanate, carbon monoxide, and terminal alkynes. Compound 1 rea
cts with NaNCS, CO, HC=C (C6H5), HC=CCH2OH, and HC=CCH2CH2OH to form [
(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(eta(1)-ADPP)(2)(NCs)] (2), [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru-(eta(1)-
ADPP)(2)(CO)][PF6] (3), ta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(eta(1)-ADPP)(2){C=C(H)(C6H5)}][
PF6] (4), unstable [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(eta(1)-ADPP)2{ C=C(H)(CH2OH)}][PF
6] (5), and [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(eta(3)-ADPP){C(CH2)(3)O}][PF6] (6), resp
ectively. Compound 6 is unusual because its formation is accompanied b
y the loss of one ADPP ligand, unlike the other substitution products
2-5. Compound 6 is dynamic and readily epimerizes in solution. The cha
racteristic H-1, C-13{H-1}, and P-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopic features o
f all compounds are described. Crystal data for 6: monoclinic space gr
