(Dithiobenzoato-κ2S,S′)[hydridotris(pyrazol-1-yl-κN2)borato](triphenylphosphine-κP)ruthenium(II)

Abstract

Reaction of [Ru(Tp)Cl(PPh3)2] (Tp = hydridotrispyrazolylborate) with ammonium dithiobenzoate in methanol leads to the formation of the title compound, [Ru(C9H10BN6)(C7H5S2)(C18H15P)]. In the crystal structure, the Ru atom is coordinated by three N atoms of the Tp ligand, one P atom of the triphenylphosphine ligand and the two S atoms of the dithiobenzoate ligand within a slightly distorted octahedron. The Ru—S bonds are slightly different [2.321 (1) and 2.396 (1) Å] and the average N—Ru—N angle is 86.31°.
