Abstract

Replacement of chloride in (PNP)RuCl, PNP = (^tBu₂PCH₂SiMe₂)₂N, by Me₃SiN₃ gives a pre-redox adduct that, already at -30 °C, releases N₂ to produce the mononuclear nonplanar Ru(IV) nitride (PNP)Ru≡N, characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray methods. DFT calculations show the planar structure to be only 1.6 kcal/mol less stable, which explains the time-averaged simplicity of the 1H NMR spectrum, as well as the large vibrational amplitude of the nitride ligand.
