Abstract

A series of ruthenium compounds containing a pyrrole-ketone bidentate ligand, 2-(2-methoxybenzoyl)pyrrole (1), have been synthesized and characterized. Reacting 1 with [(η6-cymene)RuCl2]2 and RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 generated Ru(η6-cymene)[C4H3N-2-(CO-C6H4-2-OMe)]Cl (2) and {RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2[C4H3N-2-(COC6H4-2-OMe)]} (3), respectively, in moderate yields. Successively reacting 2 with sodium cyanate and sodium azide gave {Ru(η6-cymene)[C4H3N-2-(CO-C6H4-2-OMe)]X} (4, X=OCN; 5, X=N3) with the elimination of sodium chloride. Compounds 2–5 were all characterized by1H and13C-NMR spectra and their structures were also determined by X-ray single crystallography.
