Abstract
Different synthetic routes have been developed to obtain the aqua complex trans‐[RuII(trpy)(pypz‐H)(OH2)](PF6)2, Ru6. This complex, together with the chlorido intermediate complexes cis‐ and trans‐[RuIICl(pypz‐H)(trpy)]+, Ru5a and Ru5b, have been fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, the trans‐Ru5b complex has been characterized in the solid state through single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The aqua complex Ru6 was tested as catalyst in the photooxidation of alcohols in water and in the chemical oxidation of alkenes, displaying a good performance with high selectivity values in both catalytic processes.
