Structure and Reactivity of [Ru-Al] and [Ru-Sn] Heterobimetallic PPh₃-Based Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of [Ru(PPh₃)(C₆H₄PPh₂)₂H][Li(THF)₂] with AlMe₂Cl and SnMe₃Cl leads to elimination of LiCl and CH₄ and formation of the heterobimetallic complexes [Ru(C₆H₄PPh₂)₂{PPh₂C₆H₄AlMe(THF)}H] 5 and [Ru(PPh₃)(C₆H₄PPh₂)(PPh₂C₆H₄SnMe₂)] 6, respectively. The pathways to 5 and 6 have been probed by variable temperature NMR studies, together with input from DFT calculations. Complete reaction of H₂ occurs with 5 at 60 °C and with 6 at room temperature to yield the spectroscopically ch
