Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Fluxional Behavior of cis-Cl2Ru(CO)(P∽O)(P^O) with cis-Positioned (Ether-Phosphane) LigandsReaction of the ether-phosphane ligands 2a-c with Cl2Ru-(PPh3)3 (1) results in the formation of the bis(chelate) complexes trans-Cl2Ru(P^O)2 (3a-c) (P∽O = η1-P-coordinated; Pb̂O = η2-O,P-coordinated). With CO both Ru-O bonds are cleaved to give all-trans-Cl2Ru(CO)2(P∽O)2 (4a-c). The mono(chelate) complexes 5a-c are obtained from stoichiometric amounts of 3a-c and 4a-c. Upon heating the kinetically controlled products 5a-c are transformed into the thermodynamically more stable isomers cis-Cl2Ru(CO)(P∽O)(P^O) (6a-c). Both 5a-c and 6a-c show fluxional behavior. The higher coalescence temperatures and estimated ΔG≠ values of 6a-c (75, 67, and 70°C, respectively) compared to 5a-c (55, 0, and -10°C, respectively) indicate different exchange mechanisms for 5 and 6. According to an X-ray structure analysis, 6b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. The action of CO on 6a-c affords the cis,cis,trans complexes 7a-c.
