Abstract

The coordination properties of ortho- and meta-substituted [(2-diphenylphosphanylethyl)-phenyl]methanol 4a and 4b toward ruthenium(II) have been investigated. To ensure coordination of both the arene and the tethered phosphine, the labile ruthenium arene dimer [RuCl₂(EtO₂CC₆H₅)]₂ (7) was synthesized and structurally characterized. Both the ortho and meta isomers [Ru(4a)Cl₂] (9a) and [Ru(4b)Cl₂] (9b) were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The lack of reactivity of the benzylic alcohol functionality in complexes 9a and 9b toward various P and C electrophiles is rationalized with extended Hückel calculations.
