Alkene Epoxidation Catalysts [Ru(pdc)(tpy)] and [Ru(pdc)(pybox)] Revisited: Revealing a Unique RuIV═O Structure from a Dimethyl Sulfoxide Coordinating Complex
摘要:
The X-ray crystal structure of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) coordinating complex [Ru-II(kappa(2)-pdc)(tpy)(DMSO)] (H(2)pdc = 2,6-pyridyl dicarboxylic acid and tpy = 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine) led to the discovery of a unique Ru-IV=O configuration for the Ru-pybox (pybox = pyridine-bis(oxazoline) ligands) epoxidation catalyst by theoretical calculations. On the basis of this structure, a detailed theoretical study was conducted on the alkene epoxidation reaction using ruthenium-based epoxidation catalysts. It was found that the process of H2O2 coordination proceeded via an associative path in which one carboxylate detached. The following H2O-elimination step was found to be facilitated by the detached carboxylate group. The resulting Ru-IV=O rearranges to the species trans-2a-oxo, in which one carboxylate group is situated over the tpy ring; the trans-2a-oxo was found to have the lowest activation free energies toward alkene epoxidation. These results demonstrated the importance of the hemilabile properties of the pdc(2-) ligand for the Ru-pdc alkene epoxidation catalysts.
Structures, electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of ternary ruthenium(II)-polypyridyl complexes with additional carboxylate, biguanide or sulfonamide donors
摘要:
The following complexes have been prepared: [Ru(bipy)(2)(pic)][PF6] (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; Hpic = picolinic acid); [Ru(terpy)(dipic)] (terpy =2,2':6',2"-terpyridine; H(2)dipic=dipicolinic acid); [Ru(bipy)(2) (Hbig)][PF6](2) (Hbig=biguanide); and [Ru(bipy)(2)(apps)][PF6] [where Happs is the p-tolylsulfonamide of 2-(2-aminophenyl)-pyridine]. The latter three have been characterised by X-ray crystallography and are all mononuclear pseudo-octachedral complexes. Electrochemical studies reveal the relationship between the potential of the metal-based Ru(II)/Ru(III) couple, with the potential values being clearly related to the sigma-donor or pi-acceptor capabilities of the ligands. The energies of the lowest-energy m.l.c.t. maxima in the electronic spectra also correlate with ligand properties. [Ru(bipy)(2)(Hbig)][PF6](2), which has a dissociable proton on the biguanide ligand, undergoes deprotonation in strongly basic conditions (pK(a) = 12.3 +/- 0.2), which results in a red-shift of the m.l.c.t. transition consistent with weakening of the ligand field due to the increased pi-donor capability of the deprotonated ligand.

Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins (or porphyrin coordination complexes) have been wildly investigated as photocatalysts in recent years. Herein we synthesized two new A3B porphyrins, a new asymmetric A3B zinc-porphyrin ligand with peripheral chelate group (pyridine dicarboxylate), and a ruthenium(II) complex of the porphyrin ligand. Their photo-physical properties were characterized and investigated

Rutheniumâpyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (pydic) complexes 1â3 of terpyridine and chiral bis(oxazolinyl)pyridines (pybox-ip and pybox-ph), which can be synthesized from [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 and the corresponding ligands, exhibit catalytic activity for epoxidation of trans-stilbene in combination with [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene: asymmetric induction with 2 was observed in 74% ee for trans-stilbene.
