In this study, reactions of (PPh2)2NCH2CH2N(PPh2)2 (L1) and {(PPh2)2NCH2CH2}3N (L2) with [RuII(acac)2(CH3CN)2] led to the production new dinuclear complex [Ru(acac)2]2(L1) (1) trinuclear [Ru(acac)2]3(L2) (2). Complex 1 2 are excellent candidates for role catalyst precursors in transfer hydrogenation (TH) acetophenone its derivatives. Compared (1), (2) is an exceptional catalyst, producing corre...

The crystallization of [Mn(acac)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](+) from solutions containing excess nitrate leads to the formation of four polymorphs. All polymorphs contain two different types of complex ions, one containing essentially coplanar acac ligands and the other in which the two acac ligands together assume a chair conformation. Molecular modelling using DFT (density-functional theory) calculations s...

A series of novel palladium(ii) acetylacetonato complexes bearing mesoionic carbenes (MICs) have been synthesized and characterized. The synthesis of the complexes of type (MIC)Pd(acac)I (MIC = 1-mesityl-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (1), 1,4-(2,4,6-methyl)-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (2), 1,4-(2,6-diisopropyl)-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (3); acac = acetylac...

Introduction Highly dispersed supported gold catalysts have attracted wide interest because of their high activities and selectivities for reactions including low-temperature oxidation of CO, even in the presence of H2. Notwithstanding extensive research on supported gold catalysts, fundamental questions remain, such as what are the catalytically active sites and reaction mechanisms. By using A...

The title complex, [Fe4(C5H7O2)4(CH3O)6Cl2] or [Fe4(acac)4(μ2-OMe)4(μ3-OMe)2Cl2] (acac = acetyl-acetonate), crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic Pbca space group with one half of the mol-ecule per asymmetric unit, the other half being completed by inversion symmetry. The core structure consists of a face-sharing double pseudo-cubane entity with two opposite corners missing. Weak C-H⋯Cl inter-mole...

Neutral bidentate N-O type complexe of VO(II) has been synthesized through condensation of Dpenicillamine,(D-H2Pen), with Bis(acetylacetonate)- oxovanadium(IV),[VO(acac)2], at neutralmedium . The established schiff base(NO type) complex was characterized on the basis of IR andmass spectroscopy techniques.Besides,D-H2Pen binding behavior to[VO(acac)2] has been studiedin thermodynamic viewpoint u...
