(η6-Isopropyl N-phenylcarbamate)(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) tetraphenylborate acetone monosolvate
Abstract
The title complex, [Ru(C10H15)(C10H13NO2)](C24H20B)·C3H6O, is related to the analogous O-methyl complex. The average Ru—C distance to the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) group is 2.19 (3) Å, and 2.21 (1) Å to the ortho, meta and para C atoms of the arene ring. The Ru—Cipso bond length of 2.272 (3) Å is significantly longer, reflecting movement of the Ru atom away from the C atoms with electronegative substituents attached. The amide H atom in the cation forms an intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond with the carbonyl O atom of the acetone solvent molecule. A C—H...O interaction also occurs.
