Abstract

Abstract Under mild conditions, trans-[RuCl(O)(py)4]+ in alcohols changes to an alkoxo complex, trans-[RuCl(OR)(py)4]+, The hydroxo complex, trans-[RuCl(OH)(py)4]+, which retains the reactive oxygen of the oxo complex, was found to exist as a precursor in the formation of the alkoxo complex. The reaction progress was traced by spectrometrical and 18O-labelling experiments.
