Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 37366-09-9, Name is Dichloro(benzene)ruthenium(II) dimer, category: ruthenium-catalysts.
A series of water soluble compounds of general formula [{(eta6-arene)Ru(HMP)Cl}], [eta6-arene = eta6-cymene (1), eta6-HMB (2), eta6-C6H6 (3); HMP = 5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-pyrone] have been prepared by the reaction of [{(eta6-arene) RuCl2}2] with HMP. The complexes 1 and 2 react with NaN3 to give in excellent yield tetra-azido complexes [{(eta6-arene)Ru(muN3)N3}2] (arene = cymene 4, HMB = 5) but similar reaction of complex 3 with NaN3 yielded di-azdo complex [{(eta6-C6H6)Ru(muN3)Cl}2] (6). Reaction of [{(eta6-arene)Ru(muN3)Cl}2] with HMP in the presence of NaOMe resulted in the formation of azido complex [{(eta6-arene)Ru(HMP)N3}]. Mono and dinuclear complexes [{(eta6-arene)Ru(HMP)(L1)}]+ and [{(eta6-arene)Ru(HMP)}2(muL2)]2+ were also prepared by the reaction of complexes 1 and 2 with the appropriate ligand, L1 or L2 in the presence of AgBF4 (L1 = PyCN, DMAP; L2 = 4,4?-bipy, pyrazine). The complexes are characterized on the basis of spectroscopic data and molecular structures of three representative compounds have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction study.
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.category: ruthenium-catalysts. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 37366-09-9
