Publication date: Available online 13 February 2019Source: Journal of Organometallic ChemistryAuthor(s): Dhirendra Yadav, Dharmendra Singh, Debotra Sarkar, Soumen Sinhababu, Mahendra Kumar Sharma, Selvarajan NagendranAbstractAminotroponiminatogermylene stabilized Ru(II) complexes and reactivity studies on N-heterocyclic germylene stabilized ruthenium(II) complexes were not know. Therefore, this work reports the synthesis of aminotroponiminatogermylene stabilized ruthenium(II) complexes [L1Ge(X){RuCl2(Y)}] (L1 = (i-Bu)2ATI; (ATI = aminotroponiminato), X = Cl 1, NC4H4 2, Y = η6-p-cymene), and the reactivity studies on complex 2. N-pyrrolylgermylene stabilized Ru(II) complex 2 reacts with H2O and SnCl2 to afford hydroxygermylene stabilized ruthenium(II) complex [L1Ge(OH){RuCl2(Y)}] (3) and a bimetallic complex [L1Ge(NC4H4){Ru(SnCl3)Cl(Y)}] (4), respectively. The chlorogermylene analogue [L1GeCl{Ru(SnCl3)Cl(Y)}] (5) of complex 4 is also isolated by reacting complex 4 with chlorotrimethylsilane.Graphical abstractAminotroponiminatogermylene stabilized Ru(II) complexes are isolated, and the hitherto unknown reactivity of N-heterocyclic germylene stabilized Ru(II) complexes is addressed by studying the reactivity of complex 2 with reagents, such as H2O, SnCl2, and Me3SiCl.
