Synthesis, characterization, reactivity and structure of some mono and binuclear (η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II) complexes

Ru(II)‐η6‐benzene Complexes of Dibenzosuberenyl Appended Aroyl/Acylthiourea Ligands: In vitro Biomolecular Interaction Studies and Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation

“…[29,30] The Ru À C distances were in the range of 2.168-2.197 Å with the average of 2.1681 (2) and 2.1811 (3) Å . [31][32][33] The Ru À S bond length was 2.3846(12) and 2.3977(13) Å in complexes 2 and 3 respectively. The Ru À Cl(1)/(2) bond lengths were in the range of 2.4220-2.4231 (2) and 2.4067-2.4294 (3) Å , which were comparable with the earlier reports.…”

Cytotoxicity of half sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with strong hydrogen bond acceptor ligands and their mechanism of action

“…The bisphosphine mono oxide ligands and the ruthenium complexes were synthesized following literature procedures [39][40][41][42][43].…”

“…The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical means and the details are found in the Supporting information. Half sandwich complexes of Ru(II) stabilized by cymene having one or two dissociating chloride ligands have been synthesized from these precursors [40][41][42][43]. They can be activated at low chloride concentrations to form [Ru-OH 2 ] + which can react with DNA by forming a bond with one of the purine bases, most often guanine.…”

Inverted Piano Stools: A Molecular Recognition Motif That Enforces 1:1 Cocrystallization of Two Diastereomers in the Same Single Crystal

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] All of the Ru···Ru distances within the pairs are between 5.59 and 5.90 . The other nine [(Cy)RuLCl 2 ] systems (where L is a carbene [31] or phosphane detrivative [27,29,[32][33][34][35][36] ) do not fit this pattern.…”
