Synthesis of a light-harvesting ruthenium porphyrin complex substituted with BODIPY units. Implications for visible light-promoted catalytic oxidations

A light-harvesting ruthenium porphyrin substituted covalently with four boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) moieties has been synthesized and studied. The resulting complex showed an efficient decarbonylation reaction predominantly due to a photo-induced energy...

Covalent Functionalization of Nanodiamonds by Ruthenium Porphyrin, and Their Catalytic Activity in the Cyclopropanation Reaction of Olefins

Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) were functionalized by ruthenium porphyrins and used as catalysts in the cyclopropanation reaction of olefins. The heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The XPS was used to control the binding of the ruthenium porphyrin to the DNDs’ surface. This catalyst was used in the cyclopropanation reactions of simple olefins and was reused with no loss of activity in four consecutive cycles, after recovering each time by simple centrifugation.

Ruthenium porphyrin catalysed intermolecular amino-oxyarylation of alkenes to give primary amines via a ruthenium nitrido intermediate

Ruthenium porphyrin catalysed intermolecular amino-oxyarylation of alkenes with DPH to give primary amines was achieved in moderate to good yields.

A ruthenium porphyrin-based porous organic polymer for the hydrosilylative reduction of CO2 to formate

A ruthenium-based porous organic polymer is constructed and used to reduce CO2 to potassium formate.
