Abstract
The single-crystal structure of a previously reported Ru(II) complex salt, ÃŽâ€Â-[Ru(bpy)2(S-tyr)]ClO4 ÂÃ"šÃ‚· benzene (bpy = 2,2ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚²-bipyridyl; tyr = tyrosinato) has been refined in its correct setting. The salt contains the cation that is thermodynamically unstable in aqueous solution at 298 K with respect to the Λ diastereoisomer. Its stability in the solid state is ascribed to the influence of intramolecular NHââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ÃÂâ"šÂ¬ and CHââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ÃÂâ"šÂ¬ interactions involving the aromatic ring of the aminoacidate with the amine group and a pyridyl ring of one of the diimine ligands. The benzene of crystallization is involved with similar CHââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ÃÂâ"šÂ¬, ÃÂâ"šÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ÃÂâ"šÂ¬ and ÃÂâ"šÂ¬-facial interactions with the bpy and tyrosinato ligands, and this too may serve to stabilize the particular diastereoisomer in the lattice.
