Summary:The trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (P(OH) 3 )]Cl 3 complex was synthesized by reacting [Ru(H 2 O)(NH 3 ) 5 ] 2+ with H 3 PO 3 and characterized by spectroscopic ( 31 P-NMR, δ = 68 ppm) and spectrophotometric techniques ( λ = 525 nm, = 20 L mol −1 cm −1 ; λ = 319 nm, = 773 L mol −1 cm −1 ; λ = 241 nm, = 1385 L mol −1 cm −1 ; ν NO + = 1879 cm −1 ). A p K a of 0.74 was determined from infrared measurements as a function of pH for the reaction: trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (P(OH) 3 )] 3+ + H 2 O trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (P(O − )(OH) 2 )] 2+ + H 3 O + . According to 31 P-NMR, IR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry and ab initio calculation data, upon deprotonation, trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (P(OH) 3 )] 3+ yields the O-bonded linkage isomer trans - [Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (OP(OH) 2 )] 2+ , then the trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (OP(H)(OH) 2 )] 3+ decays to give the final products H 3 PO 3 and trans -[Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 (H 2 O)] 3+ . The dissociation of phosphorous acid from the [Ru(NO)(NH 3 ) 4 ] 3+ moiety is pH dependent ( k obs = 2.1 × 10 −4 s −1 at pH 3.0, 25 °C). The nitrosyl ligand in trans -position to P(OH) 3 increases the acidity of phosphanes inducing deprotonation of trans -[Ru(NO + )(NH 3 ) 4 (P(O − )(OH) 2 )] 2+ which leads to isomerization to O-bonded trans -[Ru(NO + )(NH 3 ) 4 (OP(OH) 2 )] 2+ .
