A synthetic route to encapsulated Ru compounds: properties of the [Ru(3,6,10,13,16,19-hexa-azabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane)]2+/3+ ions
Abstract
The synthesis of Ru(sar2+)(sar = 3,6,10,13,16,19-hexa-azabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane) from Ru(DMF)62+(DMF =N,N-dimethylformamide) and sar is described along with its properties and oxidation to Ru(sar)3+ and thence to a RuII monoimine complex.
