Popis: The chiral complexes CpRu(LL*)PPh3, Cp=η5-C5H5, LL*-1=anion of 2-N-[(S)-l-phenylethyl]pyrrolecarbaldimine (1a/1b), LL*-2=anion of 2-N-[(R)-hydroxybut-2-yl)]pyrrolecarbaldimine (2a/2b) and LL*-3=anion of N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]salicylaldimine (3a/3b), can be prepared by reaction of CpRu(PPh3)2Cl and the corresponding ligand HLL* in boiling toluene. An X-ray structure analysis of diastereomerically pure 1a shows SRu configuration. The phenyl substituent of the ligand adopts a T-shape arrangement with respect to the Cp ring. The PPh3 ligand is in a right handed propeller conformation. The activation parameters of the epimerization 1a⇌1b were determined to be ΔH≠=(133±33) kJ mol−1 and ΔS≠=(77±26) J K−1 mol−1. The equilibrium ratios are 1a:1b=86:14, 2a:2b=1:1 and 3a:3b=88:12, the attractive interaction between the Cp ring and the phenyl substituent of the chiral center in the chelating ligand LL* favoring one diastereomer of the complexes 1a/1b and 3a/3b.
