Abstract
The new [Ru11(PPh3)2L2] complexes [L=monoanion of tropolone, benzoylacetone, or 3-hydroxy-2-pyridinone (hypy)], [RuH(PPh3)3L′][HL′=maltol, dibenzoylmethane or 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone (Hdmhypy)] and [RuIIIX2(EPh3)2L″] complexes (X=Cl, Br; E=As or P; L″=hypy, dmhypy) have been prepared, and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Their redox behaviour was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Most of the complexes were found to be effective catalysts for the oxidation ofp-methoxybenzyl alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde in the presence ofN-methylmorpholine-N-oxide as co-oxidant.
