Siqt janin (abortion) is defined as the intentional or unintentional action that is performed on a pregnant woman, which compromises the life or the foetal development of an unborn baby, such that it dies or cannot continue living out of the uterus. Due to scientific and technological advancement in medicine, the controversy of therapeutic abortion is very much at the forefront of mode...

The tridentate ligands E(CH2CH2OPiPr2)2 (E = NH 1, E = S 2) were employed in the synthesis of a number of ruthenium complexes. Reaction of these ligands with (Ph3P)3RuCl2 afforded the dimers [Ru(HN(CH2CH2OPiPr2)2)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 (3) and [(Ru(E(CH2CH2OPiPr2)2))2(μ-Cl)3][X] (E = NH, X = PF64, E = S, X = Cl 5), respectively. Using (Ph3P)3RuHCl in reactions with 1 gave Ru(NH(CH2CH2OPiPr2)2)(PPh3)HCl (6)...

Hydrogenation of the water-soluble [{RuCl(2)(mtppms)(2)}(2)] (mtppms = monosulfonated triphenylphosphine) was studied in aqueous solutions in the presence of excess mtppms both with H(2) and with aqueous HCOONa. Depending on the reductant, the pH and H(2) pressure altogether nine hydride species were identified. In acidic solutions at 1 bar H(2) pressure the known [RuHCl(mtppms)(3)] (1) and [{R...

Two hydrido ruthenium complexes could be isolated from the reaction between RuCl2(DMSO)4 (DMSO ) dimethyl sulfoxide) and the chelating 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcpe) and [BPh4]. These are [RuH(dcpe)2][BPh4] with a five-coordinate, 16 valence electron cation and the neutral zwitterionic 18 valence electron compound {(η-C6H5)BPh3}RuH(dcpe). The relative amounts of these products depe...

The tetrahydride complex OsH4{xant(PPr2)2} (1, xant(PPr2)2 = 9,9-dimethyl-4,5bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates an ortho-C-H bond of benzophenone and acetophenone to give the osmaisobenzofuran derivatives OsH{κ-C,O-[C6H4C(R)O]}{xant(PPr2)2} (R = Ph (2), CH3 (3)). The reaction of 1 with perdeuterated benzophenone leads to 2 partially protiated. The deuterium distribution in the latter ...

The reactivity of the amino(cyano)borane (i)Pr(2)NBH(CN) (2) towards [RuH(2)(η(2)-H(2))(2)(PCy(3))(2)] (3) was investigated. Our study reveals that the formation of the bis(isocyanoborane) ruthenium complex [RuH(CN)(CN-BHN(i)Pr(2))(2)(PCy(3))(2)] (6) occurs via the intermediacy of the bis(σ-B-H) ruthenium complex [RuH(CN)(H(2)BN(i)Pr(2))(PCy(3))(2)] (5). This transformation involves BCN linkage...

Protonation of the ortho-metalated ruthenium complexes RuH(H(2))(X)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) [X = 2-phenylpyridine (ph-py) (1), benzoquinoline (bq) (2)] and RuH(CO)(ph-py)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) (3) with [H(OEt(2))(2)](+)[BAr'(4)](-) (BAr'(4) = [(3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3))(4)B]) under H(2) atmosphere yields the corresponding cationic hydrido dihydrogen ruthenium complexes [RuH(H(2))(H-X)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)][BAr'(4)] [X = ...

The relationship between the level of spin polarisation caused by Un-ruh radiation as calculated by Bell and Leinaas and that obtained from the Derbenev–Kondratenko formalism is explained.
