The structure of trans-bis(triphenylphosphine)carbonyl( 1,3-di-p-tolyItriazenido) hydridoruthenium(I1) has been determined from three-dimensjonal x-ray diffraction data collected by counter methods. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group Cil-P1 with two molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a = 14.074 (2) A, b = 15.264 (3) A, c = 12.195 (2) A, a = 109.78 (l)’, /3 = 111.74 (l)’, y = 65.03 (l)’, and V = 2154 A3;pcalcd = 1.35 and pobsd = 1.34 g ~ m - A ~ .full-matrix least-squares refinement of the structure by standard procedures resulted in an R index of 0.038 for the 5847 independent data for which Fo2 > 3a(F02). The coordination about the ruthenium atom is approximately octahedral. The triazenido ligand is coordinated to the metal atom in a bidentate mode with a N ( 1)-Ru-N(3) angle of 57.7 (1)’ and a N ( l)-N(2)-N(3) angle of 105.2 (3)’. The Ru-N(3) bond length is 2.179 (3) A compared with the Ru-N(l) distance of 2.149 (3) A. The N-N bond lengths within the triazenido moiety are equal with N(l)-N(2) and N(2)-N(3) distances of 1.318 (4) and 1.310 (4) A, respectively. The entire ruthenium-triazenido system is essentially planar, indicative of ?r delocalization over the whole system.
Introduction The study of transition metal complexes containing triazenido ligands has increased greatly in the last few years. Although isoelectronic with allyl (I), carboxylato (II), and R

amidino (111), the triazenido ligand (IV) had not received much interest compared with the former ligands. Owing to the fact that each of these anions is potentially either a twoor four-electron donor, much research has centered on the preferred bonding arrangement of the ligand in a given system. As early as 1941, Dwyer and Mellor’ proposed that 1,3diphenyltriazenido (dpt) complexes of nickel contained bidentate triazenido ligands, resulting in a strained fourmembered chelate ring. This formulation was later disputed2 and ultimately shown to be incorrect. Structural studies of [ N i ( d ~ t ) 2 1 2 ,[Cu(dpt)zl ~,~ 2,4 [Pd(d~t)212,~ and [Cu(dpt>1z5 confirmed that the triazenide ligand actually bridges the metal centers in these compounds. The first compound to be shown to have a bidentate triazenide coordinated to a single metal atom was Co(dpt)3.6 The structures of two different crystalline forms have been reported (the first with toluene s ~ l v a t eand ~,~ the other unsolvateds), and both confirm the presence of the

Very recently, synthetic work has been reported on organometalliccomplexes of secondand third-row transition metals containing triazenido liga n d ~ . ~ -These ’ ~ workers have deduced both bridging and bidentate bonding modes for the triazenido ligand in these complexes. We present here the structure of one such complex, trans-Ru(H) (dtt) (CO) (PPh3)29a (dtt = 1,3-di-p-tolyltriazenido, Ph = C6H5) in which the dtt ligand is coordinated to the metal in a bidentate fashion.18

The x axis is perpendicular to the plane of the paper going away from the reader; t h e y axis is vertical, and the z axis is horizontal and to the right. For the sake of clarity the hydrogen atoms have been assigned an arbitrarily small thermal motion of 1 A'. The thermal ellipsoids are drawn at the 20% probability level.
Experimental Section Orange crystals of truns-Ru(H)(dtt)(CO)(PPh3)2were obtained by recrystallization from a benzene-methanol solution of material kindly supplied by Dr. S. D. Robinson. An examination of the crystals by precession methods established- that they belong to the triclinic system. The space group is C,'-Pl, as ultimately confirmed by the structure solution. The crystal used for intensity measurements was mounted on a glass fiber approximately along the crystallographic b axis. The 12 faces of the-crystal were identified as belonging to (OOl}, { l l O ) , ( l l i ) ,(Oll},(101), and (OlO}. The lattice constants were determined by a least-squares analysis19 of the angle settings of 18 hand-centered reflections on a Picker FACS-I diffractometer (X(Cu K q ) 1.540562 A) in the range 55" > 20 > 45'. The refined, reduced cell constants and other relevant crystal data are given in Table I. Intensity data were measured in the 8-28 scan mode on the Picker FACS-I using Ni-filtered Cu K a radiation at a takeoff angle of 3.8". The counter was positioned 32 cm from the crystal with an aperture 4.3 mm high and 4.3 mm wide. The reflections were scanned a t 2"/min from 0.8O below the Ka1 peak to 0.8' above the Ka2 peak. Stationary-crystal, stationary-counter background counts of 10 s each were taken a t the beginning and end of each scan. Copper foil attenuators were automatically inserted if the counting rate approached 7000 counts/s. Intensity data for kh,-k,=kl were collected out to 20 = 120O. Past this point only about 5% of the data appeared to be above background. During the data collection the intensities of six standard reflections were measured after every 100 reflections. These standards showed no significant variations throughout the data collection. The intensity data were processed as described p r e v i o ~ s l ywith ~~ the parameter p chosen as 0.04. Of the 6664 unique data collected, 5847 independent reflections were found with significant intensity (Zo > 3g(Z0)) and were used in the subsequent solution and refinement of the structure. The ruthenium atom and both phosphorus atoms were located from a Patterson synthesis. A least-squares refinement20 of these three atoms followed by a difference Fourier synthesis located an additional fifteen atoms. The remainder of the nonhydrogen atoms were located in a subsequent difference Fourier map. In the full-matrix least-squares refinements, the function minimized is Cw(lFol - IFc1)2,where lFol and lFcl are the observed and calculated structure amplitudes and w = 4FO2/u2(Fo2). Atomic scattering factors and the anomalous dispersion terms were taken from the well-known sources.21 The carbon atoms of the eight phenyl rings in the structure were refined as rigid groups22initially with individual isotropic thermal parameters (&h symmetry, C C = 1.395 A). With all of the nonhydrogen atoms included with isotropic thermal parameters, the structure refined to R = 0.118 and R, = 0.171, where R = CllFol- lFc~l/EIFol and Rw = ( C W ( l F 0 l - IFcI)2/~wF02)1'2. Before proceeding any further an absorption correction was applied to the intensity data. The transmission factors ranged from 0.375 to 0.671 ( p = 40.3 cm-1 for Cu K a radiation). In the subsequent least-squares cycle the nongroup atoms were refined anisotropically. In the resulting Fourier map all of the phenyl and methyl hydrogen atoms were located. At the position of the hydrido ligand, however, two weak peaks were found that suggested a slight positional disorder
between the hydrido and carbonyl ligands. In the difference Fourier map the electron density of the peak closer to the ruthenium atom was greater (0.83 e A-3) than the further peak (0.66 e A-3). This observation is consistent with a significant contribution of the hydrido ligand to the nearer peak. In the next least-squares cycle the total occupancy of the carbonyl ligand was constrained23 to be 1.O between the two ligan&positions resulting in a 20% carbonyl for the two weak peaks (isotropic thermal motion) and an 80% carbonyl (anisotropic thermal motion) a t its established position. Owing to the significant electron density of the hydrido ligand when compared with that of the 20% carbonyl group and also because of the expectation that the Ru-H vector is near to but not necessarily coincident with the R u C ( 2 ) vector, no further embellishments of the model of disorder were deemed fruitful. All of the hydrogen atoms were included in the final calculations as a fixed contribution. The positions of the phenyl hydrogens were uniquely determined from the phenyl carbon positions assuming ideal geometry and a C-H distance of 0.95 A. The six methyl hydrogen atoms were ideally located by a least-squares fit based on the positions of the peaks found in the difference Fourier map. Each of the 44 hydrogen atoms was assigned an isotropic thermal parameter 1 A2 greater than the carbon atom to which it is attached. After an additional anisotropic least-squares cycle with the hydrogen contribution, agreement indices of R = 0.066 and R, = 0.101 were obtained. On the difference Fourier map virtually all of the significant residual peaks (average peak height -0.9 e A-3) were associated with the phenyl ring carbon atoms. Apparently some of the rings had significant librational motion not accounted for by the isotropic model. To remedy this problem the rigid-group atoms were allowed to refine with individual anisotropic thermal parameters.20 The final full-matrix refinement (5847 independent observation, 436 variables) resulted in R = 0.038 and R, = 0.060. The error in an observation of unit weight is 2.28 electrons. The largest peaks in the final difference Fourier synthesis were approximately 0.3 e k 3(equivalent to less than 1OOh of a carbon atom). Of the 577 unobserved reflections 13 were found to have IFo2 - Fc21 > 3u(FO2). It is important to note that inclusion of anisotropic thermal motion for the carbon atoms of the phenyl groups, while improving the agreement indices and lowering the estimated standard deviations with concomitant increase in computing time, did not result in any significant shifts in the atoms of the inner coordination sphere. We conclude, therefore, that use of this more elaborate model is not generally justified. The final positional and thermal parameters for the nonhydrogen atoms along with their estimated standard deviations are given in Table 11. Table 111 lists the positional and orientation parameters for the eight rigid groups. The root-mean-square amplitudes of vibration for the anisotropic atoms are given in Table IV.24 Table V gives the idealized positions of the hydrogen atoms.24 A listing of the observed and calculated structure amplitudes is also available.24
Description of the Structure and Discussion The crystal structure consists of discrete monomeric units of the ruthenium complex with no molecules of solvation. A stereoview of the contents of the triclinic unit cell is given in The geometry of the six-coordinate transFigure 1.

C(2) and O(2) are the minor components of the disordered carbonyl group.
Figure 3. View of the coordination geometry about the ruthenium atom.
The minor positional disorder in the structure, as mentioned in the previous section, consists of a partial carbonyl occvpancy in the hydride position. As determined from the least-squares refinement the occupancy factor is 0.198 (5) for C(2)-0(2) and 0.802 (5) for C( 1)-O( 1). The contribution of the hydrido ligand was not taken into account, but the electron density distribution suggests that the hydride position is very close to that of atom C(2). Accordingly, we display the H ligand at the position of C(2) and omit C(2) and O(2) from the drawings. The bond distances and angles of C(2)-0(2), as shown in Table VI, are acceptable for a carbonyl group when the telatively large standard deviations are taken into account. The type of disorder observed in this structure is not unusual as a number of structures showing a positional disorder between a halide and carbonyl have been r e ~ o r t e d . ~ ' -A~ ~ 50%-50% (Le,, statistical) disorder is not always found as
shown in the structure reported here and in at least one other structuree29 The most interesting feature of the present structure involves the ruthenium-triazenido system. There is a small, possibly significant, difference in the Ru-N( 1) and Ru-N(3) bond lengths (2.149 (3) and 2.179 (3) A, respectively) owing perhaps to the trans influence of the hydrido ligand which is mainly opposite to atom N(3). The N(l)-N(Z)-N(3) angle of 105.2 (3)' is much smaller than the typical 117' angle observed in structures having a triazenido ligand bridging two metal center^.^-^ That there is extensive a delocalization over the ruthenium-triazenido system is apparent from the equivalence of the two N-N bond lengths (average of 1.314 (4) A, intermediate between a single- and a double-bond distance) and from the near planarity of the entire system. This planarity can readily be seen in Figure 2 and from the data of Table VII, where various least-squares planes are presented. The angle between the two tolyl rings is 15.4', whereas the angles

In the structures of Co(dpt)3, these interplanar angles range from 5.2 to 31.1' for the unsolvated forms and are approximately 20' in the toluene solvated form.6 The structures of two ruthenium complexes containing bidentate acetate and formate ligands (isoelectronic with triazenido) merit comparison with the ruthenium triazenido complex reported here. These compounds are RuH(02CMe)(PPh3)325 and R U H ( O ~ C H ) ( P P ~The ~ ) ~car.~~ boxylate groups in both of these structures have equivalent C-0 bond lengths indicative of the expected r-delocalized system. The small 0-Ru-0 bite angles of 57.6 (4) and 55.0 (13)' for the acetate and formate structures, respectively, agree very well with the N( 1)-Ru-N(3) angle of 57.7 (1)' found in the triazenide. The 0-C-0 angles in the acetate and formate complexes are larger (1 14.8 and 114.2', respectively) than the 105.2" triazenide N( l)-N(2)-N(3) angle. This difference reflects the longer Ru-0 and the shorter C-0 bond distances (ca. 2.20 and 1.25 A, respectively) in the carboxylate structures compared with the Ru-N and N-N bonds in the triazenide. Within the rather large standard deviations in both the acetate and formate structures the trans influence of the

hydrido ligand was not detected. Skapski and Stephens25 indicated that the RuH(02CMe)(PPh3)3 complex may be considered to be pseudo five-coordinate with the center of the bidentate group taken as a fifth coordination site. In this context the present ruthenium triazenide structure is a pseudo trigonal bipyramid with the trans triphenylphosphine groups in the axial positions and with equatorial angles N(2)Ru-C(l) = 136.3 (2)', N(2)-Ru-C(2) = 123.9 (6)', and C(l)-Ru-C(2) = 99.7 (6)'. This type of geometric interpretation has also been discussed elsewhere.26 Very recently, the structure of another bidentate triazenido complex, Mo(dfpt)(CsH5)(CO)2 (dfpt = 1,3-bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)triazenido), was reported.31 The important distances and angles found in this Mo triazenide structure, the two Co(dpt)3 structure^,^^^ and the ruthenium triazenide structure reported here are compared in Table VIII. The N-N and N-C distances agree very well for all four structures. The small N-N-N angles are evidence of the strain in the four-membered M-N-N-N ring. Among these angles, there is very close agreement between the two Co(dpt)3

structures; their average value is about 2" less than in the Ru structure. This difference can be accounted for by the smaller size of the Co compared with the Ru atom. In the Mo structure, however, this N-N-N angle is further reduced to 100.8 (7)", almost '5 less than for the Ru complex. Since the Mo(I1) bonding radius is comparable with that of Ru(II), the change in N-N-N angle must result from the vastly different ligand environments of the two complexes. The N-M-N angles in the Mo and Ru complexes (56.8 (3) and 57.7 (I)", respectively) are much smaller than that of about 65" in the Co(dpt)3 complexes. This is expected upon consideration of the longer metal-nitrogen distance in the Mo and Ru complexes. Based upon a simple geometric relation (sin [(N-M-N)/2] a M-N distance) and the given M-N distances, a N(l)-Ru-N(3) angle of 57" results from the N-Co-N angle of 65". Acknowledgment.
