Jan 1, 2021 · Here we report a first analysis of structure-property relationships for neutral 1 – 4, including comparisons to high-level DFT computations on [Ru (η 6 - p -cymene) (PPh 3)Cl 2] 5, formation of Langmuir films and antiproliferative activity.

In 1995, we described the synthesis and characterization of ruthenium(II) complexes containing the fragment η 6-arene-Ru(II) (η 6-arene = benzene or p-cymene), and potentially bidentate ligands of stoichiometry [(η 6-p-cymene)RuCl 2 L] (L = 4-cyanopyridine (I) and 2-aminophenol (II) .

Nov 15, 2016 · We report the synthesis and properties of new ruthenium- p -cymene complexes [ (η 6- -cymene)Ru (L)Cl] [Cl] prepared from tetracarboxylic acid ligands L = 3,3′,4,4′-tetracarboxylicacid-2,2′-bipyridine (3,3′,4,4′-H4tcbpy), their methyl and ethyl ester derivatives (R4 tcbpy), 4,4′,5,5′-tetracarboxylicacid-2,2′-bipyridine (4,4′,5,5′-H 4 tcbpy), and...

Aug 15, 2022 · The synthesized Ru(II)(η 6-p-cymene) complexes were found to be very effective catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones using KOH as the base and i-PrOH as the solvent. It was observed that they provided high conversion and yield to the related alcohols.

Oct 7, 2006 · We report the results of a comparative study of the biological activity of a series of gold (I), palladium (II) and ruthenium (II) complexes containing deprotonated thio- and selenoureato ligands.

The Ru(II)-p-cymene complexes (1-3) were found to adopt their characteristic piano stool geometry around Ru(II) ion. The calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) binding ability of the new complexes was investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopic titration and viscosity methods.

The complexes [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 2-L)X] and [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 3-L)]X·nH 2 O act as catalyst precursors for the diastereoselective nitroaldol reaction of benzaldehyde and nitroethane to the corresponding β-nitroalkanol (up to 82% yield, at room temperature) with diastereoselectivity toward the formation of the threo isomer.

The interaction between [Ru(η 6-p-cym)(H 2 O) 3] 2+ and (O,O) type chelators with different basicity of the donor atoms was studied using combined pH-potentiometric, 1 H-NMR and ESI-TOF-MS techniques.

With air stability, aqueous solubility, and structural diversity, the versatile half-sandwich Ru(II)-η 6-p-cymene complexes have been reported as potential anticancer drugs, as they show distinct anti-proliferative activity and can effectively induce apoptosis .

A series of [RuCl2(η 6- p-cymene)] complexes bearing phosphinous acid (PA) ligands have been straight-forwardly prepared from the dimer [RuCl2( p-cymene)]2 and secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs) and fully characterized.
