A novel cis-dioxoruthenium(VI) complex of N,N′,N″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me3tacn) for organic oxidation
Abstract
The X-ray structure of [Ru(Me3tacn)O2(CF3CO2)]+ shows a cis-dioxoruthenium(VI) unit with the RuO distances and O–Ru–O angle being 1.717(9) and 1.715(9)Å and 118.3(4)° respectively, this RuVI complex catalyses alkene epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation by PhIO and ButOOH.
