Abstract

: A series of ruthenium(n) Schiff base complexes of the type [RuCl(CO)(B)(L)] (where B = PPh 3 /AsPh 3 /py/ pip; L = monobasic tridente Schiff base ligands) were synthesized and characterized. These complexes catalyze oxidation of alcohols with up to 64.17% in the presence of N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMO) as co-oxidant. Furthermore, in vitro toxicity of these complexes was tested against the growth of bacterial species viz. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila and Salmonella typhi. An octahedral structure has been proposed for all of the new complexes.
