In this study, Ru complexes [(η-p-cymene)RuX(2-{(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH}-CHN-6-(O))] (3: X=Cl; 4: X=I) were prepared with N-bound 2-pyridonato ligand by thermal base-free MeX elimination from ionic N,N-chelated Ru complexes [(η-p-cymene)RuX(κ-L)](X) (1: X=Cl; 2: X=I; L={2-[(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH]-6-(OMe)CHN}). The Ru complex 3 was used as O-donor for Lewis (LA) or Brönsted acids. The reactions of 3 with SnCl, PhSnCl, ZnCl or HCl provided [(η-p-cymene)Ru(SnCl)(2-{(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH}-CHN-6-(O→SnCl)] (6), [(η-p-cymene)RuCl(2-{(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH}-CHN-6-(O→SnPhCl)] (7), and [(η-p-cymene)RuCl(2-{(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH}-CHN-6-(O→)](μ-ZnCl) (8) and [(η-p-cymene)RuCl(2-{(2,6-iPr-CH)N=CH}-CHN-6-(OH)}](Cl) (9). The easy conversion of the 2-pyridonato ligand in 3 to its 2-hydroxypyridine in 9 evoked testing of 3 and 4 as potential catalysts in base-free transfer-hydrogenation of ketones.

Aquabis(3-methoxy-2-pyridonato)(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)ruthenium(II)-acetonitrile-water (1/1/1).

Acta Crystallogr C

March 2007

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, California State University Northridge, 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA 91330-8262, USA.

The title compound, [Ru(C(6)H(6)NO(2))(2)(C(15)H(11)N(3))(H(2)O)] x CH(3)CNx H(2)O, is a transfer hydrogenation catalyst supported by nitrogen-donor ligands. This octahedral Ru(II) complex features rare monodentate coordination of 3-methoxy-2-pyridonate ligands and interligand S(6)S(6) hydrogen bonding. Comparison of the title complex with a structural analog with unsubstituted 2-pyridonate ligands reveals subtle differences in the orientation of the ligand planes.

Reactions of the head-to-head 2-pyridonato-bridged cis-diammineplatinum(III) dinuclear complex having nonequivalent two platinum atoms, Pt(N(2)O(2)) and Pt(N(4)), with p-styrenesulfonate, 2-methyl-2-propene-1-sulfonate, 4-penten-1-ol, and 4-pentyn-1-ol were studied kinetically. Under the pseudo first-order reaction conditions that the concentration of the Pt(III) dinuclear complex is much smaller than that of olefin, a consecutive basically four-step reaction was observed: the olefin pi-coordinates preferentially to the Pt(N(2)O(2)) in the first step (step 1), followed by the second pi-coordination of another olefin molecule to the Pt(N(4)) (step 2). In the next step (step 3), the nucleophilic attack of water to the coordinated olefin triggers the pi-sigma bond conversion on the Pt(N(2)O(2)), and the second pi-bonding olefin molecule on the Pt(N(4)) is released.
