Stabilized Ru[(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>]<sup>3+</sup> in Confined Spaces (MOFs and Zeolites) Catalyzes the Imination of Primary Alcohols under Atmospheric Conditions with Wide Scope
methods, hexa-aqueous Ru(III) catalyzes the imination of primary alcohols with very wide functional group tolerance, at slightly acid pH and under low oxygen atmospheres. The inorganic metal complex can be supported and stabilized, integrally, within either faujasite-type zeolites (Y and X) or a metal organic framework (MOF), to give a reusable heterogeneous catalyst which provides an industrially viable
