mer-[RuCl3(P–P)H2O] (P–P=dppb or diop) as a starting material for the synthesis of binuclear complexes. Crystallographic structures of [(dppb)ClRu–μ(Cl)3–RuCl(dppb)] and [(η6-C6H6)Ru–μ(Cl)3–RuCl(dppb)].

Synthesis, characterization, X-ray structure and in vitro antimycobacterial and antitumoral activities of Ru(II) phosphine/diimine complexes containing the “SpymMe2” ligand, SpymMe2=4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine

“…The Ru-P bonds of 2.3092(8) and 2.3326(8) Å are within the normal range found for Ru(II) tertiary phosphine complexes [43][44][45][46][47][48]. The P-Ru-P angle in the seven-membered ring of dppb is 94.02(3)°, comparable with the values previously observed for 3 [33].…”

Synthesis and characterization of ruthenium(II) complexes based on diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine and their applications in transfer hydrogenation of ketones

“…It has been demonstrated that complexes containing ''Ru-(P-N)'' (P-N = pyridylphosphine) moieties serve as efficient catalysts in homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation reactions. Therefore a large number of ruthenium complexes containing hetero-bifunctional phosphines have been synthesized and their properties studied by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Furthermore, a number of homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts based on ruthenium complexes have been reported in the literature [9][10][11].…”

Stereoselective hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate over structurally different chiral ruthenium complexes

“…In spite of an enormous number of possible ligand combinations, the BINAP ligand (2,2 0 -bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1 0 -binaphtyl) might be referred to as the most universal and usually surpassing its cognates in effectiveness. Its successful incorporation into the complexes of rhodium and ruthenium marked the revolution in the field of asymmetric catalysis [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
