Abstract
The photochemical reaction of Ru2(S2C3H6)(CO)4(PCy3)2 (1) and H2 gives the dihydride Ru2(S2C3H6)(μ-H)(H)(CO)3(PCy3)2 (2). NMR and crystallographic studies reveal mutually trans basal phosphine ligands and both bridging and terminal hydrides. Ru2(S2C2H4)(CO)4(PCy3)2 behaves similarly. Other HX substrates undergo photoaddition to 1, affording Ru2(S2C3H6)(μ-H)(X)(CO)3(PCy3)2 for X = OTs (3a), Cl (3b), and SPh (3c). Treatment of Ru2(S2C3H6)(μ-H)(H)(CO)3(PCy3)2 with [H(OEt2)]BArF4 (ArF = B(C6H3-3,5-(CF3)2) in CD2Cl2 gives [Ru2(S2C3H6)(μ-H)(CO)3(PCy3)2(H2)]+ (4), which catalyzes H2-D2 exchange. The reaction of 2 with [D(OEt2)]BArF4 gave [Ru2(S2C3H6)(μ-H)(CO)3(PCy3)2(HD)]+ (JH-D = 31 Hz). These studies provide the first models for the Fe-only hydrogenases that bear dihydrogen and terminal hydrido ligands.
