Abstract

Electrochemical behaviour of the ruthenium(III)-Schiff base complex [RuIII(Naphdien)Cl] 1 (Naphdien=bis(2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde)diethylenetriaminato) was studied in the presence of benzoic anhydride, dioxygen, tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) and organic substrates. Cyclic voltammetric findings confirm an 'ECE' pathway for the studied reactions. Controlled potential electrolysis experiments with cyclohexene, cyclooctene and triphenylphosphine at -0.24 V (vs. SCE) yielded primarily cyclohexene oxide, cyclooctene oxide and triphenylphosphine oxide with turnover rates of 2.3, 2.6 and 5.4 moles of product per mole catalyst per hour, respectively.
