Novel half-sandwich 18e and 16e arene ruthenium iminophosphonamide complexes [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl{(R'N)2PR2}] (3a-c) and [(η6-C6Me6)Ru{(R'N)2PR2}]+(X-) (4a-c) (a, R = Ph, R' = p-Tol; b, R = Et, R' = p-Tol; c, R = Ph, R' = Me. X = BF4, PF6 or BArF4) were synthesized. The elongated Ru-Cl bond in the 18e complexes is shown to dissociate even in apolar solvents to form the corresponding 16e cations, which can be readily isolated as salts with non-coordinating anions. The coordinatively unsaturated 16e complexes are stable species due to efficient π-electron donation from the nitrogen atoms of the zwitterionic NPN-ligand. The ruthenium iminophosphonamides are moderately active in the ROMP polymerization of norbornene; the 16e complexes 4a,b yield high molecular weight polymers (Mnâ¼ 300 × 103) with a narrow distribution Mw/Mnâ¼ 1.6, while the 18e complexes 3a,b give polymers of lower molecular weight (Mn < 50 × 103) with a wider polydispersity index Mw/Mnâ¼ 2.5.
