Abstract
[Ru(2)(μ-O(2)CCH(3))(4)(MeOH)(2)](PF(6)) reacts with chiral diphosphines (R,R)- and (S,S)-chiraphos, leading to disassembly and production of the enantiomers Λ-[Ru(η(2)-O(2)CCH(3))(η(2)-(R,R)-chiraphos)(2)](PF(6)) and Δ-[Ru(η(2)-O(2)CCH(3))(η(2)-(S,S)-chiraphos)(2)](PF(6)) in high yield and purity. X-ray crystallography and solid-state circular dichroism (CD) show that only the indicated isomers are present in the solid state. Solution CD measurements also indicate their predominance in solution.
