The excited states of bipyridyl and phenanthroline complexes of Fe(III), Ru(II) and Ru(III): A molecular orbital study

The semiempirical zero-differential-overlap molecular orbital model which was shown in earlier papers in this series to give a good account of the charge transfer and -* spectra of Fe(II) complexes with conjugated ligands such as 2,2-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline is extended to complexes having openshell ground states, such as those of Fe(III), and to complexes of Ru(II) and Ru(III). The results are used to assign the observed charge transfer and intra-ligand absorption bands to specific orbital transitions. Observed and calculated intensities are in good agreement: reasons are advanced for the much lower intensity of the charge transfer bands in Ru(III) compared to Ru(II) complexes.     

Electrooxidation of CO on Ru（0001） and RuO2（ 100） Electrode Surfaces

The electrooxidation of CO on Ru(0001) and RuO2(100) electrode surfaces were characterized by cyclic voltammetry,AES and RHEED,The CO adlayer was first partially oxidized at 0.8 V, which is controlled by the attack of oxygen species toward the Ru(0001) surface. The remaining CO aldayer oxidation at 0.55 V is related to the combination of CO molecules with oxygen species already located on the surface,In contrast,successive peaks on RuO2(100) at 0.4 V and 0.72 V are observed ,which shows that CO molecules can directly react with two different lattice-oxygen on the surface to carbon dioxide.     

Synthesis and characterization of dinuclear (Hedta)Ru(III) complexes with N-heterocyclic ligands: magnetic properties and DNA-binding studies

Two ruthenium(III) complexes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetate(edta), viz. [{Ru(Hedta)}₂L]·xH₂O L = 4,4′-bipyridine(bpy) (1) and 4,4′-azopyridine(Azpy) (2), have been synthesized by the reaction between K[Ru(Hedta)Cl]·1.5H₂O and the corresponding N-heterocycles. Complex 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The products were characterized by IR, UV–vis, cyclic voltammetry, and magnetic techniques. Their DNA-binding activities were investigated using electronic absorption spectroscopic methods and ?uorescence quenching; the experimental results show that these two ruthenium complexes may bind to CT-DNA through intercalation modes.     

Kinetics of the Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) has been studied spectrophotometrically. The rate of oxidation of formaldehyde is directly proportional to [Fe(CN) _3– ⁶ ] while that of acetaldehyde is proportional tok[Fe(CN) _3– ⁶ ]/{k +k[Fe(CN) _3– ⁶ ]}, wherek, k andk are rate constants. The order of reaction in acetylaldehyde is unity while that in formaldehyde falls from 1 to 0. The rate of reaction is proportional to [Ru(III)] _T in each case. A suitable mechanism is proposed and discussed.

Ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of l-leucine by a new oxidant,diperiodatoargentate(III) in aqueous alkaline medium

The kinetics of Ru(III) catalysed oxidation of l-leucine by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) in alkaline medium at 298 K and a constant ionic strength of 0.60 mol dm⁻³ was studied spectrophotometrically. The oxidation products are pentanoic acid and Ag(I). The stoichiometry is [l-leucine]:[DPA] = 1:2. The reaction is of first order in Ru(III) and [DPA] and has less than unit order in both [l-leu] and [alkali]. The oxidation reaction in alkaline medium has been shown to proceed via a Ru(III)–l-leucine complex, which further reacts with one molecule of monoperiodatoargentate(III) (MPA) in a rate determining step followed by other fast steps to give the products. The main products were identified by spot test and spectral studies. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism are calculated. The catalytic constant (K_c) was also calculated for the Ru(III) catalysed reaction at different temperatures. From the plots of log K_c versus 1/T, values of activation parameters with respect to the catalyst have been evaluated. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed, and thermodynamic quantities are also determined. The active species of catalyst and oxidant have been identified.

Mechanistic aspects of uncatalyzed and ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of dl-ornithine by copper(III) periodate complex in aqueous alkaline medium: A comparative kinetic study

The oxidation of dl-ornithine monohydrochloride (OMH) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) has been investigated both in the absence and presence of ruthenium(III) catalyst in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.20 mol dm⁻³ spectrophotometrically. The stiochiometry was same in both the cases, i.e., [OMH]/[DPC] = 1:4. In both the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions, the order of the reaction with respect to [DPC] was unity while the order with respect to [OMH] was < 1 over the concentration range studied. The rate increased with an increase in [OH⁻] and decreased with an increase in [IO₄⁻] in both cases. The order with respect to [Ru(III)] was unity. The reaction rates revealed that Ru(III) catalyzed reaction was about eight-fold faster than the uncatalyzed reaction. The oxidation products were identified by spectral analysis. Suitable mechanisms were proposed. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the reaction mechanisms were calculated for both cases. The catalytic constant (K_C) was also calculated for catalyzed reaction at different temperatures. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism and also the thermodynamic quantities were determined. Kinetic experiments suggest that [Cu(H₂IO₆)(H₂O)₂] is the reactive copper(III) species and [Ru(H₂O)₅OH]²⁺ is the reactive Ru(III) species.

Kinetics and mechanism of Ru(III)-catalysed oxidation of organic sulphides and triphenylphosphine by N-methylmorpholine N-oxide

The selective oxidation of thioethers to sulphoxides and of PPh₃ to PPh₃O can be effected by NMO in DMF as solvent in the presence of Ru(III) chloride as catalyst. Kinetic investigations indicate that the orders with respect to the catalyst and oxidant are one each. The order with respect to the substrate is variable being fractional order at low concentrations and zero at high concentrations. Spectrophotometric studies reveal the formation of a 1:1 complex between the substrate and the catalyst. A mechanism consistent with the above observations has been proposed and verified.

MOF负载[Ru(bpy)3]2+促进CO2还原反应中贵金属光敏剂的分离和循环利用

在太阳光驱动下,将温室气体CO2还原为燃料分子有望解决人类社会面临的环境污染和能源危机问题.此外,CO通常被用作C1源进行精细化学品制备.因此,开发高活性光催化体系将CO2高选择性还原到CO具有重要科学和实用意义.光催化体系主要由光敏剂、催化剂和电子给体构成,其中光敏剂作为光吸收中心和电子转移桥梁在光催化进程中扮演着极其重要的角色.半个多世纪以来,贵金属配合物光敏剂(如[Ru(bpy)3]2+)因其良好的可见光吸收能力和适中的氧化还原能力,被广泛用于光催化CO2还原体系中.然而,贵金属配合物存在光化学稳定性较差、难以回收利用等问题,严重限制了其广泛应用.因此,开发高效、稳定且易于循环利用的贵金属光敏剂用于CO2光还原具有重要意义.本文采用溶剂热合成法,成功将[Ru(bpy)3]2+限域到金属有机框架中,通过调控钌配体的引入比例制得了一系列非均相钌基光敏剂(UiO-Ru-1,UiO-Ru-2和UiO-Ru-3).通过X射线衍射、高分辨场发射扫描电镜和高分辨场发射透射电镜等技术证明了UiO-Ru的结构和形貌(正八面体).将UiO-Ru用于光催化CO2还原,以四联吡啶铁作为催化剂,UiO-Ru-2表现出极高的敏化能力,在300W氙灯下反应8h,CO的产率可达171mmol/g,同时选择性达到100％,是目前活性较高的光催化CO2还原体系之一.该体系中,UiO-Ru-2循环利用三次,其催化效率没有明显衰减,表明其具有良好的光催化稳定性和可循环利用性.值得注意的是,钌含量增加(UiO-Ru-3)或者降低(UiO-Ru-1)催化活性均有所下降.为解释这一现象,本文利用稳态/瞬态光谱和电化学等技术手段对材料的光电化学性质进行了系统的研究.稳态光谱测试结果表明,随着Ru含量的增加,UiO-Ru的吸光和发光性能逐渐提升,但激发态寿命却在逐渐降低.此外,Ru含量增加会占据孔道,减小金属有机框架的孔径,阻碍底物和活性中心的接触.因此,UiO-Ru-2中钌光敏中心含量适中,较好地平衡了可见光吸收能力、激发态寿命和孔道大小之间的关系,使得其催化活性显著优于其它光敏剂(UiO-Ru-1和UiO-Ru-3).此外,本文利用瞬态吸收光谱和电化学深入研究了光催化机制和电子转移路径,将为高活性贵金属光敏剂异相化并用于构建高效、可持续的CO2还原体系提供重要借鉴.     

Kinetics and reactivities of ruthenium(III)- and osmium(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T in acid and alkaline media: A mechanistic approach

Ornidazole is an antiparasitic drug having a wide spectrum of activity. Literature survey has revealed that no attention has been paid towards the oxidation of ornidazole with any oxidant from the kinetic and mechanistic view point. Also no one has examined the role of platinum group metal ions as catalysts in the oxidation of this drug. Such studies are of much use in understanding the mechanistic profile of ornidazole in redox reactions and provide an insight into the interaction of metal ions with the substrate in biological systems. For these reasons, the Ru(III)- and Os(VIII)-catalyzed kinetics of oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T have been studied in HCl and NaOH media, respectively at 313 K. The oxidation products and kinetic patterns were found to be different in acid and alkaline media. Under comparable experimental conditions, in Ru(III)-catalyzed oxidation the rate law is −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[H⁺]^−y[Ru(III)]^z and it takes the form −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[OH⁻]^y[Os(VIII)][ArSO₂NH₂]^−z for Os(VIII)-catalyzed reaction, where x, y and z are less than unity. In acid medium, 1-chloro-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one and in alkaline medium, 1-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one were characterized as the oxidation products of ornidazole by GC–MS analysis. The reactions were studied at different temperatures and the overall activation parameters have been computed. The solvent isotope effect was studied using D₂O. Under identical set of experimental conditions, the kinetics of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole by CAT in acid medium have been compared with uncatalyzed reactions. The relative rates revealed that the catalyzed reactions are about 5-fold faster whereas in Os(VIII) catalyzed reactions, it is around 9 times. The catalytic constant (K_C) has been calculated for both the catalysts at different temperatures and activation parameters with respect to each catalyst have been evaluated. The observed experimental results have been explained by plausible mechanisms. Related rate laws have been worked out.
