High Oxidation State Organometallic Chemistry: The Synthesis and Reactivity of nitridoruthenium(VI) Alkyl Complexes

The reaction chemistry of anionic nitridoruthenium(VI) alkyl complexes has been studied. Reactions at the nitrido nitrogen as well as the ruthenium center have been used to synthesize several new ruthenium(VI) complexes. As with nitridoosmium(VI) alkyl complexes, the nitrido ligand was found to undergo alkylation reactions with a variety of electrophiles to give unstable imidoruthenium(VI) complexes. Treatment of the tetraalkyl complexes with Bronsted acids results in protonation of the alkyl ligands.
