(O,O′-Diethyl dithiophosphato-κ2S,S′)(hydridotripyrazol-1-ylborato-κ3N2,N2′,N2′′)(triphenylphosphine-κP)ruthenium(II)

Abstract

Reaction of [Ru(Tp)Cl(PPh3)2] {where Tp is hydridotripyrazolylborate, BH[C3H3N2)3)]} with NH4[S2P(OEt)2] in methanol afforded the title compound, [Ru(C9H10BN6)(C4H10O2PS2)(C18H15P)], in which the RuII ion is in a slightly disorted octahedral coordination environment. The [S2P(OEt)2]− ligand coordinates in a chelating mode with two similar Ru—S bond lengths and a slightly acute S—Ru—S angle. The atoms of both –OCH2CH3 groups of the diethyl dithiophosphate ligand are disordered over two sites with approximate occupancies of 0.76 and 0.24.
