Abstract

The titrations of HRu3(CO)9C6H9 (I), HRu3(CO)8(C6H9)PR3 (R = C6H5, OCH3) (II), and HRu3(CO)7(C6H9)(PR3)2 (R = C6H5, OCH3) (III) with CF3S03H in CD2C12 have been followed by variable-temperature 1H NMR. Initial protonation takes place at the metal core, but significant differences in the relative basicities and the rates of inter- and m/ramolecular hydride exchange are observed. In neat sulfuric acid a second protonation of I takes place at the organic ligand to yield a dicationic dihydrido complex H2Ru3(CO)9(HC=CC(CH3)3)2+. In the case of II two isomeric dications are obtained as kinetic products with subsequent rearrangement to the more thermodynamically stable isomer. In D2S04 gives only the more thermodynamically stable product white deuterated II in H2S04 gives a different isomer ratio than II in H2S04. A mechanism explaining this unusual deuterium isotope effect is presented and discussed.
