A novel ruthenium(II) complex with specific luminescent selectivity towards hybrid G-quadruplex DNA was developed that can easily be distinguished by the naked eye without further treatment.

Dinuclear ruthenium nitrido complexes supported by the Kläui's tripodal ligand [CpCo{P(O)(OEt)(2)}(3)](-) (L(OEt)(-)) have been synthesized starting from the ruthenium(VI) nitrido precursor [L(OEt)Ru(VI)(N)Cl(2)] (1). Heating a solution of 1 in CCl(4) at reflux, followed by recrystallization from hexane under nitrogen, afforded the mixed-valence ruthenium(V)-ruthenium(IV) μ-nitrido complex [L(O...

The ruthenium hydride of (Ar(4)CpOH)Ru(CO)(2)H exchanges cleanly and rapidly with D(2) at room temperature to generate the ruthenium deuteride. A chain mechanism is proposed to explain the much more rapid exchange of RuH/D(2) than RuCO exchange with (13)CO.

Three new ruthenium amidinate complexes were prepared: tris(diisopropylacetamidinato)-ruthenium(III), Ru(iPrNC(Me)NiPr)3 4; bis(diisopropyl-acetamidinato)ruthenium(II) dicarbonyl, Ru( iPrNC(Me)NiPr)2(CO)2 5; and bis(ditert-butylacetamidinato)ruthenium(II) dicarbonyl, Ru(tBuNC(Me)NtBu)2(CO)2 6. They have been synthesized and characterized by H NMR, TG and X-ray structure analysis. These three co...

this paper focused on a novel method of electroless plating ruthenium (ru) on solid or porous substrates like porous stainless steel (pss) discs or ceramic tubes. a novel complexing plating bath of ru was developed. it is proven that ru can be deposited directly on these substrates by the bath at a temperature of 328 k and strong alkaline environment. tga, sem, edx and xrd confirmed the success...

A new lipophilic Ru salen complex with cholesterol groups can be efficiently incorporated into liposome bilayers, allowing the photoinduced release of nitric oxide (NO) and the membrane transport of NO to coexisting liposomes.

Reaction of three phenolate ligands, viz. 2,4,6-tribromophenol (HL, where H stands for the phenolic proton), 2-nitrophenol (HL) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (HLO), with [Ru(PPh3)3Cl2] in a 2:1 molar ratio in the presence of a base gives complexes of type [Ru(PPh3)2(L)2] (L=L , L and L). The 2,4,6-tribromophenolate ligand (L) binds to ruthenium as a bidentate O,Br-donor, while the 2-nitrophenolate l...

A new ruthenium(ii) polypyridyl-platinum(ii) diethynyl triad containing 3-ethynylphenanthroline linked by platinum(ii) bis-tributylphosphine organometallics, Ru(ii)-Pt(ii)-Ru(ii), and platinum(ii) bis-ethynylphenanthroline complex has been prepared. The ruthenium(ii)-metal triads, Ru(ii)-M-Ru(ii) (M = Pt(ii) and Au(i)), showed typical MLCT absorption bands and a lowest energy pi-pi* absorption ...

We measured in absorption mode at the Ruthenium K-edge, Ru-Ru and Ru-N distances, in structurally known systems: the Ruthenium dimeric precursor compound, already structurally characterized, the monomeric species of Ruthenium phthalocyanine (adduct) and the polymeric species of Ruthenium phthalocyanine (with bridging oxygen). The film, a candidate for sensor and electrochromic applications, is ...
