Ruthenium complexes [Ru(L1)2(CH3CN)2](PF6)2 (1), [RuL1(CH3CN)4](PF6)2 (2) and [RuL2(CH3CN)3](PF6)2 (3) (L1= 3-methyl-1-(pyrimidine-2-yl)imidazolylidene, L2 = 1,3-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)benzimidazolylidene) were obtained through a transmetallation reaction of the corresponding nickel–NHC complexes with [Ru(p-cymene)2Cl2]2 in refluxing acetonitrile solution. The crystal structures of three complexes determined by X-ray analyses show that the central Ru(II) atoms are coordinated by pyrimidine- or pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene and acetonitrile ligands displaying the typical octahedral geometry. The reaction of [RuL1(CH3CN)4](PF6)2 with triphenylphosphine and 1,10-phenanthroline resulted in the substitution of one and two coordinated acetonitrile ligands and afforded [RuL1(PPh3)(CH3CN)3](PF6)2 (4) and [RuL1(phen)(CH3CN)2](PF6)2 (5), respectively. The molecular structures of the complexes 4 and 5 were also studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. These ruthenium complexes have proven to be efficient catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of various ketones.

A first and efficient procedure has been developed for microwave-assisted transfer hydrogenation of ketones. Silica gel-supported ligand 2 has been prepared for the transfer hydrogenation. This immobilized ligand-Ru complex acted as an efficient catalyst for the hydrogen transfer reaction of ketones. The MW-assisted reactions using the supported ligand 2 could reach completion within 20~40 min.

AbstractTreatment of the bidentate Schiff base 2-[(2,6-diisopropyl-phenylimino)-methyl]-phenol (HL1) with one equivalent of (Et4N)[RuCl4(MeCN)2] in the presence of triethylamine afforded (Et4N)[RuCl3(κ2-N,O-L1)(MeCN)] (1), which reacted with two equivalents of K[S2P(OiPr)2] to produce a neutral ruthenium(III) complex [Ru(κ2-N,O-L1){η2-S2P(OiPr)2}2] (2) bearing both salicylaldiminato and dithiophosphato ligands. Reactions of the bidentate Schiff bases 2-[(3-chloro-phenylimino)-methyl]-phenol (HL2) and 2-[(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenylimino)-methyl]-phenol (HL3) with one equivalent of [Ru(CO)2Cl2] in the presence of triethylamine led to formation of the corresponding anionic ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes (Et3NH)[RuCl2(κ2-N,O-L2)(CO)2] (3) and (Et3NH)[RuCl2(κ2-N,O-L3)(CO)2] (4). The molecular structures of complexes 2–4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Silver(I) cyanoximate complexes Ag{ONC(CN)-R} (R = COPh, {L1}; COC(CH3)3, {L2}; benzothiazol-2-yl, {L3}) with triphenylphosphine and -stibine of compositions Ag(PPh3)n{L} (n = 2, 4) and Ag(SbPh3)n{L} (n = 3 for {L1} and {L2}, n = 2 for {L3}) were synthesized by the reaction of the components in acetonitrile solution and characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of Ag(SbPh3)3{L} (L = {L1} (1), {L2} (2), Ag(SbPh3)2{L3} ∙ CH3CN (3) and Ag(PPh3)2{L1} ∙ CH3CN (4), have been determined by X-ray diffraction. For all the compounds examined the coordination environment of the silver atom has the geometry of a distorted terahedron ([AgP2NO] (4); [AgSb3N] (1), (2); [AgSb2N2] (3)). The bis adducts Ag(EPh3)n{L} adopt molecular structures, in which the organic anions are coordinated in bidentate chelate fashion via the nitroso nitrogen atom and the oxygen (nitrogen for {L3}) atom of the substituent R. In the tris-stibino complexes (Ag-Sb 2.670(4) - 2.7748(8) Å; Sb-Ag-Sb 108.87(4) - 115.00(2)°) the cyanoximates are unidentate ligands and coordinated via the nitroso nitrogen atoms (Ag-N ca. 2.35(1) Å). The different behaviour of N ,O and N,N chelating cyanoximes under the same conditions suggests, that the Sb donor triphenylstibine is able to substitute the oxygen atoms in the silver(I) coordination sphere, but not the nitrogen ones. This causes the formation of 1:3 adducts of Ag{L} with SbPh3 for N ,O donors {L1} and {L2}, and only 1:2 for N,N donor anionic {L3}.

The reaction of 2-aminonicotinaldehyde with 2- or 4-methoxyacetophenone in basic media leads to the new ligands 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine and 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, respectively, in high yield. The reaction of these naphthyridine derivatives with [RuCl2(CO)2] n leads to the respective complexes cis-dicarbonyldichloridobis[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-κN 8]ruthenium(II) and cis-dicarbonyldichloridobis[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-κN 8]ruthenium(II), both [RuCl2(C15H12N2O)2(CO)2], in good yield. Both ruthenium(II) complexes display a slightly distorted octahedron with two cis carbonyl, two cis chloride and two cis naphthyridine ligands, the latter coordinated in a monodentate fashion through the N atom in the 8-position. Both complexes exhibit a moderate catalytic activity in the hydrogen-transfer reaction from propan-2-ol to acetophenone in the presence of a base, with 100% selectivity.

The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.
