As a continuation of our strategy for preparing new Ru(II) precursors with improved water solubility through the introduction of highly water-soluble 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphoadamantane (PTA) supporting ligands in the coordination sphere, in this work, we address the largely unexplored preparation of Ru(II)-PTA carbonyls. Two complementary synthetic approaches were used: (1) the treatment of a series of neutral Ru(II)-CO-dmso compounds of general formula RuCl2(CO) n(dmso)4- n ( n = 1-3, 1-5) with PTA; (2) the reaction of Ru(II)-PTA complexes with CO. Through the first approach, we obtained and fully characterized seven novel neutral compounds bearing from one to three PTA ligands per Ru atom, namely, the four monocarbonyls, cis, cis, trans-RuCl2(CO)(dmso-S)(PTA)2 (6), trans-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (7), cis, mer-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (8), and trans, trans, trans-RuCl2(CO)(OH2)(PTA)2 (10), and the three dicarbonyls, trans, trans, trans-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (11), [RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)]2 (12), and cis, cis, trans-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (13). The less stable, and thus more elusive, species fac-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (9) and cis, cis, cis-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (14) were also unambiguously identified but could not be obtained in pure form and fully characterized. The complementary synthetic approach, that involved the treatment of the trans- and cis-RuCl2(PTA)4 (15, 16) isomers with CO, afforded only one new Ru(II)-PTA carbonyl, the cationic species cis-[RuCl(CO)(PTA)4]Cl (17). In general, the choice of the solvent was very relevant for obtaining the products with high yield and purity. We were unable to isolate Ru(II)-PTA compounds with more than two carbonyls. The thermodynamically preferred species have CO trans to Cl and two mutually trans PTAs, and only in the dinuclear compound 12 there is a single PTA per Ru atom. Compounds 7 and 17 feature the unprecedented trans-Ru(CO)(PTA) fragment. The X-ray structures of cis, cis, cis-RuCl2(CO)2(dmso)2 (3), 6-8, 10, 11, 13, and 17 are also reported. All compounds are new, are air-stable, and show a good solubility in water ( S from 10 to 165 g·L-1) and, most often, also in chloroform.

Abstract
As a continuation of our strategy for preparing new Ru(II) precursors with improved water solubility through the introduction of highly water-soluble 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphoadamantane (PTA) supporting ligands in the coordination sphere, in this work, we address the largely unexplored preparation of Ru(II)-PTA carbonyls. Two complementary synthetic approaches were used: (1) the treatment of a series of neutral Ru(II)-CO-dmso compounds of general formula RuCl2(CO) n(dmso)4- n ( n = 1-3, 1-5) with PTA; (2) the reaction of Ru(II)-PTA complexes with CO. Through the first approach, we obtained and fully characterized seven novel neutral compounds bearing from one to three PTA ligands per Ru atom, namely, the four monocarbonyls, cis, cis, trans-RuCl2(CO)(dmso-S)(PTA)2 (6), trans-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (7), cis, mer-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (8), and trans, trans, trans-RuCl2(CO)(OH2)(PTA)2 (10), and the three dicarbonyls, trans, trans, trans-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (11), [RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)]2 (12), and cis, cis, trans-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (13). The less stable, and thus more elusive, species fac-RuCl2(CO)(PTA)3 (9) and cis, cis, cis-RuCl2(CO)2(PTA)2 (14) were also unambiguously identified but could not be obtained in pure form and fully characterized. The complementary synthetic approach, that involved the treatment of the trans- and cis-RuCl2(PTA)4 (15, 16) isomers with CO, afforded only one new Ru(II)-PTA carbonyl, the cationic species cis-[RuCl(CO)(PTA)4]Cl (17). In general, the choice of the solvent was very relevant for obtaining the products with high yield and purity. We were unable to isolate Ru(II)-PTA compounds with more than two carbonyls. The thermodynamically preferred species have CO trans to Cl and two mutually trans PTAs, and only in the dinuclear compound 12 there is a single PTA per Ru atom. Compounds 7 and 17 feature the unprecedented trans-Ru(CO)(PTA) fragment. The X-ray structures of cis, cis, cis-RuCl2(CO)2(dmso)2 (3), 6-8, 10, 11, 13, and 17 are also reported.
