Abstract

Reaction of Ru(III)(L)(dmf)Cl3 (1) (L = 4,4,4′,4′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bisoxazoline, dmf = N,N-dimethylformamide) with an excess of sodium azide in a methanol–water mixture leads to the isolation of the sodium salt of a Ru(VI) nitrido complex of the tetraanion of N,N′-bis-(2,2-dimethyl-1-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-ethanediamide (L′H4; H a dissociable proton) of the formulation Na[Ru(L′)(N)(H2O)]·1.4H2O (2). Complex 2 is not generated in the absence of light. A tentative mechanism for the reaction is proposed and a Ru(IV) intermediate, Na[Ru(L′)(N3)(H2O)]·2CH3OH·2H2O (3), isolated.
