Three stable 4-substituted pyridine-based ruthenium(II)complexes[RuCl2(PPh3)L](L=4-R-2,6-bis (diethylaminomethylene)pyridine,R=Br,H or allyloxy)were synthesized.The catalytic activities of the complexes toward...Three stable 4-substituted pyridine-based ruthenium(II)complexes[RuCl2(PPh3)L](L=4-R-2,6-bis (diethylaminomethylene)pyridine,R=Br,H or allyloxy)were synthesized.The catalytic activities of the complexes toward transfer hydrogenation from alcohols to ketones were investigated.The electronic effects of the para-substituent in the pyridyl ring were probed and we found that the electron-donating group increased the catalytic activity.The result suggests that an electron-donating group is probably preferential for linking the catalytic ruthenium complex and the chemically inert supporting molecules such as a carbosilane dendrimer.展开更多

The extraction system was described quantitatively using the equilibria involved to derive the mathematical explanation for the two linear log D vs pHe plots for each metal ion extraction curve, and coordination numbers could also be extracted from the two slopes. The lack of separation was attributed to the absence of stereochemical “tailor making” since the complexes isolated from the reaction of the ligand, bis((1H-benzimidazol- 2-yl)methyl)amine (NNN), with base metals suggested the formation of similar octahedral complex species from spectral and crystal structure evidence. The bis tridentate coordination observed was in agreement with information extracted from the extraction data. This investigation opens up an opportunity and an approach for the evaluation of amines as extractants but cautions against tridentate ligands.展开更多
