Electronic effects of the substituent group in 8-quinolinolato ligand on geometrical isomerism for nitrosylruthenium(II) complexes

Structural dynamics of nitrosylruthenium isomeric complexes studied with steady-state and transient pump-probe infrared spectroscopies

“…The cis-1, cis-2 [Ru(OAc)(2cqn) 2 NO] and cis-1 [Ru(OAc)(2mqn) 2 NO] were synthesized according to the previously described procedure [29][30][31]. The trans [Ru(OAc)(2mqn) 2 NO] complex was prepared by photoisomerization from cis-1 isomer.…”

“…The original coordinates of atoms in the cis-1, cis-2 and trans isomeric complexes were obtained from the crystal structures determined with X-ray diffraction [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Visualization was performed with GaussView 5.0 [33].…”

Photoactive ruthenium nitrosyls: Effects of light and potential application as NO donors

“…Miki and co-workers have studied the effects of light on ruthenium nitrosyls derived from 8-quinolinolato ligands [145–149]. These nitrosyls of the general formula [Ru(X)(2-R-qn) 2 (NO)] (where X = Cl − , OAc − ; H2qn = 8-quinolinol derivatives with 2 position substituted with Me, Et or Cl) exhibit different extents of photoisomerization and NO photorelease under visible light.…”

Crystal structure of the ruthenium(II) nitrosotrichloro complex Na[RuNOCl3(H2O)OH]·2H2O

“…At most, potassium or ammonium salts of the nitrosopentachlororuthenate anion are used in the syntheses [1][2][3][4][5], these salts being readily available with good yields from ruthenium thrichloride [6]. However, these salts are insoluble in organic solvents and when reactions are carried out in non-aqueous media, the starting ruthenium compound is the nitrosotrichloro complex RuNOCl 3 nH 2 O [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The ability of the ethanolic solution of this compound to readily react with many organic ligands affording stable uncharged [RuNOL 2 Cl 3 ] complexes was noted as early as in 1966 by Fairy and Irving [13].…”
