trans-(2-Acetylpyridine-κ²N,O)dichlorobis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)ruthenium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [RuCl(2)(C(7)H(7)NO)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)], the metal ion is at the centre of a distorted octahedral NOCl(2)S(2) coordination sphere. The neutral 2-acetylpyridine ligand binds to the metal ion through the pyridine N and carbonyl O atoms, forming a five-membered chelate ring. The monodentate S-coordinating dimethyl sulfoxide molecules are mutually cis, and the two remaining positions in the coordination sphere are occupied by two mutually trans Cl(-) ions.

A new family of Ru(ii) complexes with a tridentate pyridine Schiff-base ligand and bidentate co-ligands: synthesis, characterization, structure and in vitro cytotoxicity studies

“…22 The Ru(II)-Cl distances are in the expected range (2.389 Å). [42][43][44][45] The Ru-Npy distance in the picolinate moiety coordinated is 2.0972(15) Å, which is comparable to other compounds reported in the literature (2.025-2.078 Å). [46][47][48][49] The Ru-O bond length in the picolinate ion, 2.0816 Å, appears to be normal.…”

Potential new inorganic antitumour agents from combining the anticancer traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) liriodenine with metal ions, and DNA binding studies

“…co-crystallized chloroform and co-crystallized water molecules. As in [RuCl 2 (C 7 H 7 NO)(C 2 H 6 OS) 2 ], 23 the Ru(II) ion is at the centre of a distorted octahedral NOCl 2 S 2 coordination sphere. The liriodenine ligand binds to the metal ion via its N-7/O-8 clip with a fivemembered chelate ring bite angle of 77.36 (9) • .…”

Dichloro(diphosphine)(2-pyridyl-ketone)ruthenium(II) complexes

“…Structural work describing bidentate, N,O-bonded 2-bzpy includes that on mono-and bis-(2-bzpy) complexes of Zn(II) in relation to models for alcohol-dehydrogenases (3), and that on Cu(I) complexes (5), while the first structural work involving Ru species was that describing an η 2 -N,O-bonded 2-pyridylketone moiety of an ONNS-bonded thiosemicarbazone of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bonded to Ru(II) (6). Very recent reports on Ru complexes have described the structures of [Ru(PMe 3 ) 2 (CO)(COMe)(2-bzpy)]BPh 4 (7), [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine) 2 (2-bzpy)][PF 6 ] 2 (8), and RuCl 2 (DMSO) 2 (2-acpy), where 2-acpy is 2-acetylpyridine (9). Complexes such as [Ru(NH 3 …”
