Abstract:Reactions of ligand pyrazine‐2‐carboxylic acid (HL1) with [Ru(η6‐p‐cymene)Cl2]2 precursor gave the dinuclear piano‐stool ruthenium (II) complex [{Ru(η6‐p‐cymene)Cl2}‐μ‐(L1)‐{Ru(p‐cymene)Cl}] (Ru1). Separately, reactions of N‐(quinolin‐8‐yl) pyrazine‐2‐carboxamide (HL2), 5‐methyl‐N‐(−(quinolin‐8‐yl) pyridine‐2‐carboxamide (HL3) and 5‐chloro‐N‐(quinolin‐8‐yl) pyridine‐2‐carboxamide (HL4) with [Ru(η6‐p‐cymene)Cl2]2 dimer in the presence of KPF6 afforded the cationic dinuclear complexes [{Ru(η6‐p‐cymene)Cl}2‐μ‐(L2… Show more
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.
