Δ-Bis[(S)-2-(4-isopropyl-4,5-di­hydro­oxazol-2-yl)phenolato-κ²N,O¹](1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N′)ruthenium(III) hexa­fluorido­phosphate

The title compound is an example for a chiral-at-metal complex, with the Ru^III atom having an octa­hedral coordination environment by three bidentate ligands.

Abstract

The title compound, [Ru(C₁₂H₁₄NO₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)]PF₆ crystallizes in the tetra­gonal Sohnke space group P4₁2₁2. The two bidentate chiral salicyloxazoline ligands and the phenanthroline co-ligand coordinate to the central Ru^III atom through N,O and N,N atom pairs to form bite angles of 89.76 (15) and 79.0 (2)°, respectively. The octa­hedral coordination of the bidentate ligands leads to a propeller-like shape, which induces metal-centered chirality onto the complex, with a right-handed (Δ) absolute configuration [the Flack parameter value is −0.003 (14)]. Both the complex cation and the disordered PF₆⁻ counter-anion are located on twofold rotation axes. Apart from Coulombic forces, the crystal cohesion is ensured by non-classical C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F inter­actions.

Structure description

The syntheses of optically pure metal complexes are usually costly and sophisticated, especially with the use of traditional methods for the resolution of racemic mixtures. A straightforward alternative strategy, therefore, requires the coordination of pure chiral auxiliary ligands tailored for the selective synthesis of diastereomers, which are easily converted to the corresponding enanti­omerically pure complexes (Knof & von Zelewsky, 1999 ▸). Hayoz and co-workers were the first to report the diastereoselective synthesis of optically pure ruthenium polypyridyl complexes in the quest for generating compounds with metal-centered chirality, so-called chiral-at-metal complexes (Hayoz et al., 1993 ▸). Such metal-centered chirality refers to the type of chirality induced at a central metal atom as a result of an helical octa­hedral coordination around a metal in bis-chelate or tris-chelate systems. In this context, optically pure salicyloxazoline is often used as an auxiliary ligand to implement and control the absolute configuration at central metal atoms during ligand exchange. In this case, the absolute configurations at the central metal could either be right-handed or left-handed twist systems, which are symbolized by Δ and Λ stereochemical descriptors, respectively (Gong et al., 2010 ▸). The salicyloxazoline ligand is often used in this manner because of its reversible coordination upon acid protonation of its phenolate group while leaving the stereochemistry of the metal complex intact (Gong et al., 2009 ▸, 2010 ▸, 2013 ▸).

The complex cation of the title salt constitutes of two optically pure bidentate salicyloxazoline ligands and a phenanthroline co-ligand arranged within an octa­hedral coordination sphere around the central Ru^III atom, which is located about a twofold rotation axis bis­ecting the phenantroline ligand (Fig. 1 ▸). This right-handed twist of the ligands leads to a Δ stereochemical configuration of the complex; the correctness of the absolute configuration is indicated by a Flack parameter (Parsons et al., 2013 ▸) value of −0.003 (14). The bite angles, 89.76 (15)°, for the salicyloxazoline ligands are comparable with reported values, e.g. 86.68° (Brunner et al., 1998 ▸), 88.29° (Davenport et al., 2004 ▸), 86.88° (Kelani et al., 2024 ▸), or 90.00 (Gong et al., 2010 ▸) while that for the phenanthroline ligand, 79.0 (2)°, is almost similar to that of 80.12° (Gong et al., 2010 ▸). The bond lengths of the Ru^III atom with the ligating atoms of 1.974 (3), 2.079 (4) and 2.072 (4) Å to O1, N1(phenanthroline) and N2(salicyloxazoline) atoms, respectively, also agree well with reported values. The crystal packing (Fig. 2 ▸) includes the disordered PF₆⁻ counter-anion (located about a twofold rotation axis). Non-classical inter­molecular inter­actions featuring C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F contacts (Table 1 ▸) are present.

Synthesis and crystallization

Di­chlorido-bis­(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) (50.0 mg, 0.09 mmol, 1 eq) was added to (S)-isopropyl-2-(2-hy­droxy­phen­yl)oxazoline (38.5 mg, 0.2 mmol, 2 eq) in ethanol in the presence of K₂CO₃ (26.0 mg, 0.2 mmol, 2 eq). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 h under continuous stirring after which it was cooled to room temperature and then concentrated in vacuo under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography with silica gel using a solvent system of CH₂Cl₂:CH₃OH:CH₃CN = 9.7:0.2:0.1 v:v:v) to obtain a purple crystalline compound. Yield, 31 mg (46%, 0.04 mmol).

Refinement

Details of the data collection, solution and refinement are given in Table 2 ▸. The disordered PF₆⁻ anion was treated as equally disordered around the twofold rotation axis and was kept stable with SADI, SIMU and DELU restraints in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2015b ▸). The highest remaining maximum and minimum electron density are 1.32 and 0.76 Å away from F1A and Ru1, respectively.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
