Abstract

Mixed-ligand ruthenium(II) complex with 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline-3,8-dicarboxylic acid with the composition [Ru(phen-C)(bpy)2]Cl2·5H2O (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, phen-C = 1,10-phenantroline-3,8-dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by spectral data. The complex has been tested as photocatalyst in aerobic oxidation reactions, including transformation of arylboronic acids to phenols, primary amines to imines, and sulfides to sulfoxides in aqueous medium. The possibility of regeneration of the catalyst in the oxidation of sulfides has been demonstrated.
