Novel cis-directed, four-electron dioxo oxidant

On the basis of a series of model hydroporphyrins, corphins, and tetraaza comple~es,~,'~+'* these distances reflect changes from puckered to planar macrocycle conformations, i.e., the F430 skeleton is quite flexible. 2. The Ni(1l)-N distances of 1.9 and 2.1 A found for low- and high-spin F430, respectively, match almost exactly the strain-free Ni(ll)-N distances of 1.91 and 2.10 A calculated for low- and high-spin Ni( 1 I) polyamines by molecular mechanics.22 3. The Ni(l1)-N distances of LS F430 and its 12,l 3-diepimerg are the same within experimental error. The observed different affinities for axial ligands of the two compound^^^^ are, therefore, not due to significant differences in the equatorial nitrogens and may reflect steric constraints due to the different conformation of the d i e ~ i m e rinstead. ,~~ 4. Since the F430 skeleton is flexible enough to accommodate changes of 0.2 A around Ni(ll), it can equally accommodate the distortion concomitant with reduction to Ni(I). Acknowledgment.

In this context, a cis-dioxo structure would be of more interest than the corresponding trans structure because of the possibility of achieving cis-directed, four-electron oxidations with the transfer of two 0 atoms to the same reductant. Normally, the cis-dioxo structure leads to an instability toward ligand loss and formation of trans-dioxo products. The driving force for the instability is the electronic stabilization associated with the trans-dioxo, d2 electronic c~nfiguration.~.'We report here the preparation and characterization of trans-[R~~'(tpy)(O)~(H~O)]~+ (1) (tpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine), which overcomes this limitation. The complex is coordinatively stable yet has the desired reactivity as a cis-directed, four-electron oxidant, but in a novel and indirect way. Complex 1 was prepared from [Ru"(tpy)(C204)(H20)] in 2 M HC104 by the addition of excess (NH4)2Ce'V(N0,)p.4This led to a color change from red-brown to yellow and precipitation of [RuV'(tpy)(0)2(H,0)](C104)2.S The structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography and is illustrated in Figure 1.6 Four important features emerge from the structure: (a) the coordination geometry is approximately octahedral; (b) the disposition of the oxo groups is trans; (c) the average Ru=O bond length is 1.661 A, compared to 2.128 8, for the Ru-0 bond of the aqua group, 1.765-1.862 A for oxo groups bound to Ru(IV), or 1.705-1.732 A for oxo groups bound to Ru(VI);~and (d) the zyxwvutsrqpo zyxwvuts (22) Hancock, R.

In the reaction between 1 and the potentially chelating diphosphine 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in a 1:1 ratio, in CH3CN (3.5 M H,O), it was shown, by using stopped-flow techniques, that reduction of Ru(V1) to Ru(1V) was rapid, k,(20 "C) 2 X IO8 M-' s-*and the subsequent reduction of Ru(IV) to Ru(I1) occurred with k2(20 "C) = 6.2 X s-I via an isosbestic point at 365 nm. With the diphosphine in excess (5:l), a competition exists between the second, intramolecular oxidation and intermolecular oxidation of a second diphosphine as shown by spectrophotometric measurements. The initial Ru(l1) product at a 1:1 ratio (A,, = 495 nm; ?(P=O) = 1155 cm-I; ,IP, 6 = 61.5ppm) was unstable. It was converted into an intermediate which contained both bound P=O (,'P, 6 = 63.3,62.9ppm) and free P=O (,IP, 6 = 33.7,33.1 ppm). After 1 h, free diphosphine dioxide ?(P=O) = 1225 cm-I; ,IP, 6 = 40.5 ppm) had appeared in the solution. Similar observations have been made with Ph2PCH2PPh2or cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 as the diphosphines. With Ph2PCH2PPh2,the initial Ru(I1) product was more stable. It underwent loss of the bis(phosphine oxide) ligand with t I j 2 1 h.

Chemical, Zn(Hg5, or electrochemical reduction gave [Ru1'(tpy)(H20),l2+,quantitatively. The results of simple mixing experiments show that 1 has an 0 0 extensive reactivity chemistry that extends to olefins, hydrocarbons, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. We have been able to demonstrate the existence of a cis-dioxo reactivity in the reactions between l and a series of arylphosphines. Oxo complexes of Ru are known to act as oxygen atom transfer reagents toward phosphines, sulfides, or olefin^.^ When 1 was allowed to react with PPh, in excess in CH,CN, a rapid reaction occurred to give a red-violet Ru" product (A,, = 510 nm). On the basis of stopped-flow Ph' 'Ph measurements, the reaction occurred in a stepwise manner, Ru(V1) The key to the mechanism is the intramolecular rearrangement Ru(IV) followed by Ru(IV) Ru(I1). The Ru(IV) Ru(I1) of the oxo group from an axial coordination position to one in the step occurred with k(20 "C, CH,CN) = 1.05 X 104 M-I s-I. The tpy plane following reduction of Ru(V1) to Ru(IV).

It may occur by proton transfer on a far slower time scale.

From the ppm; B(P=O) = 1195 cm-I) had appeared in the solution, and relative insensitivity of the rate constants for the second step to after 12 h, nearly complete release of OPPh, had occurred. On the nature of the diphosphine, rearrangement of the oxo group the basis of these observations we conclude that the reaction may be rate limiting. between 1 and PPh, occurs in two steps to give trans-[Ru- O=Ru=O angle is 17 1.3" with the bending occurring away from the tpy ligand. From Raman and FT-IR studies, the symmetrical ?(Ru=O) stretch occurs at 834 cm-I and the asymmetrical stretch at 841 cm-' in the solid state. In the electronic spectrum in H 2 0 at pH = I , an absorption band appears at 410 nm ( t = 3700 M-' cm-') along with tpy-based ?r* A transitions at 315, 285 (sh), 275 (sh), and 265 (sh) nm. In CH3CN, the low-energy absorption band appears at 416 nm (c = 3500 M-' cm-I). Complex 1 is stable in acidic aqueous solution and is stable in CH,CN for at least I week. The IH NMR spectrum of 1 is consistent with a diamagnetic complex with a series of tpy resonances appearing in the range 9.50-7.50ppm.8 Addition of 1 to CD$N led to truns-[RuV'(tpy)(O),(CD,CN)l2+ with k , = 5 M-' s-I (kI= 35 M-' S-I). An isolated doublet that appears at 9.17 ppm is sensitive to the ligand trans to tpy. For the corresponding acetonitrile complex trans-[R~~l(tpy)(O)~(CD~CN)]~+, the chemical shift is 9.45ppm.
