The M-H bond plays a prominent role in
organometallic chemist ry because the metalhydrogen bond can undergo a variety of
insertion reactions such as olefin
isomerization, hydrogenation, hydrosilation,and hydroformylation.
The title compound is chosen to demonstratesome aspects of transition metal hydridechemistry.

This inorganic laboratory experiment is
designed t o introduce inert atmosphereinorganic synthesis and to be accessible to
upper level undergraduate students.
This preparation makes use of borohydride,BH4-, to replace the chloride ligands of
dicholot ri s(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II),[RuCl2(PPh3)3] (Ph = C6H5).

This starting material is prepared fromruthemium trichloride t rihydrate and
t riphenylphosphine, PPh3.
Dicholot ri s(triphenylphosphine)-ruthenium(II), [RuCl2(PPh3)3] is not air-
sensitive, requires no special handling, andcan easily be prepared in a 3-hourlaboratory.

Preparation of hydride is done in a well-ventilated hood using argon and hydrogen as
a purge gas.
Syringe and cannula techniques areappropriate to this reaction.
The dihydride, [RuH2(PPh3)4] , can be
prepared in a second 3-hour laboratory
period.

Hydrogenation:
Spectroscopic measurements and additionalreaction exercises are performed in a third
laboratory period.
Dihydrido-( 2-ihydrogen)tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) is prepared by adding hydrogen.

Each of these compounds can be readilyobtained toluene solution of [RuH2(PPh3)3] or
[RuH2(H2)(PPh3)3] wit h the appropriate ligandand characterized by IR or NMRspect roscopy.
20 minutes for an NMR tube vacuum fill cycleis a reasonable est imate.
The tet rahydride , [RuH2(H2)PPh3] , can beconverted into a variety of dihydrides simply
by losing H2 from the coordination sphere.

Dihydrogen ligand displacement reaction:
the usual assumpt ion of subst itut ion-inertbehavior in low-spin d6 classical complexesdoes not apply in this organorutheniumcomplexes.
High trans influence of the hyride ligand.

The 31P NMR experiment is part icularly tell ingwit h regard to the experimentalist s
technique because exposure to air causesdarkening of solution and the appearance ofa t riphenylphosphine oxide peak at -23ppm in the 31P NMR.
Further, nitrogen causes the formation of[RuH2(N2)(PPh3)3] .
NMR solution are prepared most effectivelyin a dry, degassed solvent using NMR tubessealed with valves.

Performing the same experiment without
exogenous phosphine under hydrogenproduces [RuH2(H2)(PPh3)3] in similar yields.
[1H NMR: -7.05 (br s, Ru-H).
Slow bubbling of nit rogen or carbonmonoxide through these solut ion in an NMR
tubes for 5 min gives solution of light tan[RuH2(N2)(PPh3)3] and colourless[RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3] as confirmed by
31P {1H}
NMR.
