Abstract

β-ketooxime [RC(O)C(NOH)R] (R = Me or Ph) ligands (HL) react with [Ru(PPh3)3Cl2] in refluxing EtOH to yield [Ru(PPh3)2(L)2] complexes. For R = Me, one isomer was obtained, while two isomers were isolated when R = Ph, due to a bulk effect. The complexes are diamagnetic and absorb intensely in the vis. region due to MLCT transitions. In MeCN and CH2Cl2 solution, RuII-RuIII oxidation occurs in the 0.69-0.92 V versus s.c.e. range. The oxidation potential depends on both the electronic nature of R and the stereochemistry of the complexes.
