Poly(alkylidenamines) dendrimers as scaffolds for the preparation of low-generation ruthenium based metallodendrimers
2011
The aim of this article is to highlight the use of nitrile-functionalized poly(alkylidenamines) dendrimers as building blocks for the preparation of low-generation ruthenium based cationic metallodendrimers having in view potential biomedical applications. Air-stable poly(alkylidenamines) nitrile dendrimers, peripherally functionalized with the ruthenium moieties [Ru(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2]+ or [RuCl(dppe)2]+, have been prepared, characterized and are being studied for their anticancer activity. The followed strategy is based on the biological advantages associated with low-generation dendrimers, the known activity of ruthenium compounds as anticancer drugs and the stability of these dendrimers at…
Three 2,5-dialkoxy-1,4-diethynylbenzene derivatives
2008
2,5-Diethoxy-1,4-bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene, C20H30O2Si2, (I), constitutes one of the first structurally characterized examples of a family of compounds, viz. the 2,5-dialkoxy-1,4-bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene derivatives, used in the preparation of oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s via Pd/Cu-catalysed cross-coupling. 2,5-Diethoxy-1,4-diethynylbenzene, C14H14O2, (II), results from protodesilylation of (I). 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-bis(heptyloxy)benzene, C24H34O2, (III), is a long alkyloxy chain analogue of (II). The molecules of compounds (I)–(III) are located on sites with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The large substituents either in the alkynyl group or in the benz…

cis-Aquabis[bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane-κ2 P,P′]chlororuthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate dichloromethane sesquisolvate hemihydrate
2006
In the title compound, [RuCl(C26H24P)2(H2O)]PF6·1.5CH2Cl2·0.5H2O, the complex RuII cation is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment, chelated by two bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligands, with a water molecule and a chloride anion in a mutually cis geometry completing the coordination.
cis-[Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane-κ2P,P′]dichlororuthenium(II) dichloromethane disolvate
2006
The title compound, cis-[RuCl2(C26H24P2)2]·2CH2Cl2, was obtained as an unexpected product from our attempts to prepare new ruthenium molecular wires using organic bridging ligands. Three solvates and a solvent-free structure of the isomeric complex with the chloride anions in a trans geometry have already been reported, while the cis isomer has been described only in solution studies prior to this work.

4,4'-[Thiophene-2,5-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]dibenzonitrile
2008
In the solid state, the title compound, C(22)H(10)N(2)S, forms centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of non-classical C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds linking approximately coplanar mol-ecules. The benzene ring involved in this inter-action makes a dihedral angle of only 7.21 (16)° with the thio-phene ring, while the other benzene ring is twisted somewhat out of the plane, with a dihedral angle of 39.58 (9)°. The hydrogen-bonded dimers stack on top of each other with an inter-planar spacing of 3.44 Å. C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link together stacks that run in approximately perpendicular directions. Each mol-ecule thus inter-acts with 12 adjacent mol-ecules, five of them approaching closer than the sum of the van …
Synthesis, characterization and solid-state photoluminescence studies of six alkoxy phenylene ethynylene dinuclear palladium(II) rods
2015
A rare family of six discrete binuclear [PdCl(PEt3)2] phenylene ethynylene rods with alkoxy side chains (methoxy, ethoxy and heptoxy) have been developed, and their solid-state photoluminescence results have been presented and discussed. The shorter bridging ligands are of the general formula H–CuC– C6H2(R)2–CuC–H, where R = H, OCH3, OC 2H5, and OC7H15, whereas the longer ones are based on H– CuC–C6H4–CuC–C6H2(R)2–CuC–C6H4–CuC–H, where R = OCH3, OC 2H5. These ligands display increasing length in both the main dimension (backbone length) as well as the number of carbons in the side chains (R, alkoxide side chain) that stem from the central phenylene moiety. The X-ray crystal structures of tw…

2007
The organometallic trinuclear aqua cyano-bridged complex [{(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2Ru(μ-CN)}2RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)]PF6 (1), in which the fragment [RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)] acts as a bridge and an acceptor group between the two terminal cyclopentadienyl ruthenium cyano moieties, was isolated in moderate yield from the reaction of [(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2RuCN] with [RuCl2(PPh3)3] in THF. To the best of our knowledge, compound 1 is one of the few examples of a trinuclear array of ruthenium fragments bridged by the nitrogen atom of the–C≡N– group (Ru–C≡N–Ru′–N≡C–Ru) with a Ru-coordinated water molecule. The new aqua complex was structurally characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elem…

In the title Ru(II) carboxyl-ate compound, [Ru(C2H3O2)(C26H24P2)2](CF3O3S)0.75Cl0.25, the distorted tris-bidentate octa-hedral stereochemistry about the Ru(II) atom in the complex cation comprises four P-atom donors from two 1,2-bis-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)ethane ligands [Ru-P = 2.2881 (13)-2.3791 (13) Å] and two O-atom donors from the acetate ligand [Ru-O = 2.191 (3) and 2.202 (3) Å]. The disordered counter-anions are located on the same site in the structure in a 3:1 ratio, the expanded formula comprising four complex cations, three trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anions and one chloride anion, with two such formula units in the unit cell.

2013
Abstract A novel and improved room temperature synthesis of the monohydride catalyst trans-[RuCl(H)(dppe)2] complex (1, dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) proceeds through oxidation of methanol (the solvent) by the pentacoordinated cis-[RuCl(dppe)2][PF6] complex and t-BuOK as the base is described. Compound 1 was fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 31P), ESI-MS(TOF +), FTIR and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure of 1 was reported for the first time and unambiguously confirms the trans-configuration of the complex.
