Hydroxylation of azomethine carbon: isolation of complexes of η⁵ and η⁶-cyclic hydrocarbon platinum group metals with a new Schiff-base ligand

Solvato-polymorph of [(η6-C6H6)RuCl (L)]PF6 (L = (2,6-dimethyl-phenyl-pyridin-2-yl methylene amine)

“…In addition ruthenium complexes with N, N'-bidentate ligands have also been studied as anticancer agents [9,10]. Of interest in these organometallic arene ruthenium complexes, is the pseudo-octahedral coordination environment around the metal center where three coordination sites of the metal are often occupied by an aromatic ring in a h 6 -manner while other ligands occupy the other three coordination sites [11,12]. This makes the properties of arene ruthenium complexes to be easily tailored by modification of the arene rings and/or the coordinating ligands [8].…”

Unexpected Formation of (1 + 1) Ruthenium Macrocycle from Flexible Ru(II) Clip

“…The high intense low energy absorption peak of 2 can be assigned to the ligand‐centered π‐π*/n‐π* transition and the medium intense broad peak at 367 nm due to the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) t 2g ‐π* transition in the electronic spectrum. In general, 2 showed similar trend in transitions as that of reported N‐based metal complexes …”
