Abstract

A ruthenium carbonyl complex, [Ru(CO)2(L)(Cl)2] (1) with a redox non-innocent thioether-containing azo-phenol ligand has been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, along with X-ray structure determination. Cyclic voltammogram of 1 exhibits Ru(II)/Ru(III) quasireversible oxidation (E1/2 = 1.22 V) along with ligand based two successive reductions. Theoretical calculations using DFT/B3LYP method have been used to interpret the electronic structure of the complex. Synthesized ruthenium(II) complex efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of alcohols in presence of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide.
