Abstract

In this paper, we describe the enantiospecific synthesis and the complete characterization of the two hexacoordinated ruthenium(II) monocations [Ru(bpy)(2)ppy](+) and [Ru(bpy)(2)quo](+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, ppy = phenylpyridine-H(+), quo = 8-hydroxyquinolate) in their enantiomeric Delta and Lambda forms. The corresponding enantiomeric excesses (ee's) are determined by (1)H NMR using pure Delta-Trisphat (tris(tetrachlorobenzenedialato)phosphate(V) anion) as a chiral (1)H NMR shift reagent. A complete (1)H and (13)C NMR study has been carried out on rac-[Ru(bpy)(2)ppy]PF(6) and rac-[Ru(bpy)(2)quo]PF(6). Additionally, the X-ray molecular structure of rac-[Ru(bpy)(2)quo]PF(6) is reported; this latter species crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group (a = 22.079 A, b = 16.874 A, c = 17.533 A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 109.08 degrees, gamma = 90 degrees ).
