Metal-mediated rearrangement of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine to ortho-semidine upon reaction with dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(ii)

Abstract

Reaction between RuCl2(PPh3)3, and 1,2-diphenylhydrazine resulted in rearrangement and coordination of ortho-semidine. The product, RuCl2(PPh3)2(κ2-NH2-1,2-C6H4-NHPh), was characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structure was conclusively determined using X-ray crystallography. Computational chemistry...
