Abstract
The reaction of [RuH2(PPh3)4] with trityl hexafluorophosphate leads to [RuH(PPh3)4]+PF6 – by abstraction of a hydride ligand as H–. This salt reacts with other phosphines and with nitriles to give salts of six-co-ordinate cations, and dissociates on standing to give [RuH(PPh3)3]+PF6 –, for which a structure containing a phosphine ligand co-ordinated to ruthenium via a π-bonded interaction is proposed.Keywords
