Abstract
New hexa-coordinated binuclear Ru(III) Schiff base complexes of the type [(PPh3)2X2Ru]2L (where, X = Cl or Br; L = binucleating N2O2 Schiff bases) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurement, FT-IR, UV-vis, 13C1H-NMR, ESR, cyclic voltammetric, SEM and powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The new complexes have been used as catalyst in C─ C coupling reaction and the oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds by using molecular oxygen atmosphere at ambient temperature. Further, the new Schiff base ligands and their Ru(III) complexes were also screened for their antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae, Shigella sp., M. luteus, E. coli and S. typhi. From this study, it was found out that the activity of the ruthenium(III) Schiff base complexes almost reaches the effectiveness of the conventional bacteriocide standards.
