Children learn through play, and they learn more than adults might expect. Science experiments are a great way to spark their curiosity, get their minds active, and encourage them to do something that doesn’t involve a screen. 15746-57-3, C20H16Cl2N4Ru.

Covalently linked bipyridyl ligands (L-L) with alkyl linkages varying from (-CH2-)2 to (-CH2-)12 were used to prepare ruthenium oxo dimers of the form [(bpy) (H2O)RuO(L-L)Ru(2O) (bpy)]4+. The bridging alkyl linkage increases the stability of these oxo dimers by maintaining the relative proximity of the two ruthenium centers even when the oxo bridge is cleaved. These complexes have been characterized by electronic spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The electrochemistry in CH3CN/0.1M TBAP exhibits a reversible one-electron oxidation followed by a second reversible two-electron oxidation which becomes catalytic in aqueous solution. The catalytic generation of dioxygen from water was observed upon bulk electrolysis of the oxo dimer at +1.39 V.
