Abstract
The scaffold tris(8-quinolinyl)phosphite, (P(Oquin)3), can bind to metal centers as a bi- or a tridentate tripodal ligand, depending on the synthetic conditions and characteristics of the metal atom. Here the study of the coordinating properties of such chelate was extended to the synthesis and characterization of well-defined Ru(II)-halide complexes. The compound [κ3(N,P,N){P(Oquin)3}RuCl2(PPh3)] was obtained by simple ligand exchange on the precursor [(PPh3)3RuCl2]. Two isomers were observed by means of 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy, and were partially separated by recrystallization in refluxing solvents, thus allowing their structure elucidation. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the two crystalline isomers have the formula [κ3(N,P,N){P(Oquin)3}RuCl2(PPh3)] with the phosphite ligand coordinated to the Ru(II) center either in a meridional or in a facial disposition. The mixture [κ3(N,P,N){P(Oquin)3}RuCl2(PPh3)] undergoes phosphine dissociation at temperatures over 100 °C, leading to the formation of [κ4(P,N3){P(Oquin)3}RuCl2]. This compound displays a tetradentate P(Oquin)3 chelate and is a suitable catalyst for the dehydrogenation of formic acid and the dehydrocoupling of methylphenylsilane.

Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
