In the present communication, we have reported the synthesis and characterization of a novel nitric oxide (NO) donating complex [Ru(L-1)(PPh3)(2)(NO)](ClO4) (2) derived from [Ru(L-1)(PPH3)(2)(Cl)] (1) ((LH2)-H-1 is pyridine 2,6-dicarboxylic acid and H stands for dissociable proton). Characterization of 2 by UV-Vis, IR and NMR spectral studies revealed the presence of (RuNO}(6) species with S=0 ground state. ESI-MS data also supported the formation of 2. Electrochemical studies on complex 2 were investigated. The coordinated NO was found to be photolabile under visible as well as in UV light and photocleaved NO was transferred to reduced myoglobin.

Ruthenium(III) complexes of dipicolinic acid with PPh3/AsPh3 as co-ligand: Synthesis and structural characterization
New hexa-coordinated Ru(III) complexes of the type [Ru(dipic)(EPh3)(2)X] have been synthesized by reacting 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid, H(2)dipic) with the appropriate starting complexes [RuX3(EPh3)(3)] (where X = Cl, Br; E = P, As). The ligand behaves as tridentate dibasic chelate. Dipicolinic acid which was expected to form a bridge between two metal centers, formed only mononuclear complexes, irrespective of the metal to ligand ratio. All the complexes have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, electronic and EPR) data. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of the complex [Ru(dipic)(PPh3)(2)Cl] revealed that the coordination environment around ruthenium metal consists of an NO2P2Cl Octahedron with (dipic) occupying equatorial plane. Electrochemical behavior of the complexes was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The new complexes were found to catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes using N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide as co-oxidant. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
