The reaction Ru(bipy)2(NO)X2 + + Ns~+ S Ru(bipy)2SX+ + N2 + N20 (S = solvent; X = Cl, N02) has been usedto prepare a series of solvent complexes. For X = N02, mixtures of nitro and nitrito isomers are obtained as products. Displacement of coordinated acetone in Ru(bipy)2(OC(CH3)2)X + has provided a general route to the cis complexes Ru-(bipy)2YX+'°(Y = neutral or anionic ligand). During the substitution reactions of Ru(bipy)2(0C(CH3)2)N02+, nitritonitro interconversion also occurs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
