Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 37366-09-9, Name is Dichloro(benzene)ruthenium(II) dimer, Formula: C12H12Cl4Ru2.
Controlled formation of mixed-metal macrocycles using dynamic exchange processes and steric constraints
The exchange reaction of the trinuclear macrocycles [(C6H 3iPr3)Ru(C5H3NO2)] 3 (AAA) and [(cymene)Ru(C5H3NO 2)]3 (BBB) has been studied. It was found that the equilibration proceeds in two steps and that the final mixture is completely dominated by the mixed-metal macrocycles [{(C6H3iPr 3)Ru}2{(cymene)Ru}(C5H3NO 2)3] (AAB) and [{(C6H3iPr 3)Ru}{(cymene)Ru}2(C5H3NO 2)3] (ABB). The results are rationalized by assuming unfavorable steric interactions between adjacent (C6H 3iPr3)Ru fragments. It is shown that interactions of this kind can be used to bias scrambling processes in such a way that mixed-metal macrocycles are obtained in over 80 % yield. The structures of [{(C 6Me6)Ru){(C6H6)Ru} 2(C5H3NO2)3] and [(Cp*Rh){(C6H6)Ru}2(C5H 3NO2)3] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
