title: One-pot synthesis of metal primary phosphine complexes from O=PCl2R or PCl2R. Isolation and characterization of primary alkylphosphine complexes of a metalloporphyrin.
abstract: Treatment of [Ru(II)(Por)(CO)] [Por = porphyrinato(2-)] and O=PCl(2)R [R = Ad (adamantyl), Bu(t), Bu(sec)] or PCl2Mes (Mes = mesityl) with LiAlH4 afforded primary alkyl- and arylphosphine complexes [Ru(II)(Por)(PH2R)2], which have been isolated in pure form and characterized by 1H NMR, 31P NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structures of [Ru(II)(TTP)(PH2Ad)2] and [Ru(II)(F20-TPP)(PH2Mes)2] were determined by X-ray crystallography.
