Cyclometalated N,N-dimethylbenzylamine ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(C6HR1R2R3-o-CH2NMe2)(bpy)(RCN)2]PF6 for bioapplications: synthesis, characterization, crystal structures, redox properties, and reactivity toward PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase

A modular design of metal catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones

“…82°C), non‐toxic, environmentally friendly, inexpensive and the acetone product is readily removable . The activity of Ru(II) arene complexes is well known in this catalytic process . Recently, we reported that the novel half‐sandwich complexes, based on ligands with a P―N and P―O backbone, are active catalysts in the reduction of aromatic ketones .…”

Aerobic dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles catalyzed by triazolylidene ruthenium complexes with O2 as terminal oxidant

“…In order to eliminate this potentially temperature-limiting step, the solvento complex 7 was prepared from the parent cymene analogue 5 upon reaction with AgOTf in refluxing MeCN (Scheme 3) via established procedures. 41,[46][47][48][49][50] In contrast to complex 5, the solvento complex 7 is moderately air-sensitive and gradually degrades over several days, as indicated by a color change from yellow to green. Successful ligand exchange was indicated by 1 H NMR spectroscopy, which showed the absence of the cymene resonances and the appearance of two singlets attributed to coordinated MeCN in 1 : 2 ratio (δ H = 2.54 and 2.07, respectively, CD 3 CN solution).…”

Organometallic ruthenium, rhodium and iridium complexes containing a P-bound thiophene-2-(N-diphenylphosphino)methylamine ligand: Synthesis, molecular structure and catalytic activity

“…Infrared spectra were recorded as KBr pellet in the range 4000e400 cm À1 on a Mattson 1000 ATI UNICAM FT-IR spectrometer. 1 H (400.1 MHz), 13 C NMR (100.6 MHz) and 31 …”
