Dc. Smith et al., Correlation between structural and solution calorimetric data for Cp*Ru(PR3)(2)Cl (Cp* = C5Me5) complexes, ORGANOMETAL, 18(12), 1999, pp. 2357-2361
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were conducted bn the following co
mpounds: Cp*Ru(PMe3)(2)Cl (1), Cp*Ru(PPhMe2)(2)Cl (2), Cp*Ru(PMePh2)(2)Cl (
3), Cp*Ru(PPh3)(2)Cl (4), Cp*Ru(PEt3)(2)Cl (5), Cp*Ru(AsEt3)(2)Cl (6), Cp*R
u((PBu3)-Bu-n)(2)Cl (7), and Cp*Ru(dmpm)Cl (8). Structural information obta
ined from these X-ray studies can be correlated with enthalpies of ligand s
ubstitution previously determined from solution calorimetry. The cone angle
of the phosphine ligand (monodentate) and the Ru-P bond distance were foun
d to be proportional to the enthalpy of reaction.
