It appeared to be a logical consequence to transfer this synthetic principle to more suitable metals like ruthenium and introduce bulky, kinetically stabilizing ligands at the metal. An interesting example for this approach is the complex 78. The latter is synthesized from Cp RuCl(PR3)2 with ClMgCH2SiMe2H through 77 by a thermal Si — H activation reaction.

Let us now examine sample sets of data. We shall consider two reactions, the formation of a biradical1 [Eq. (7-10)] and an electron transfer reaction between two ruthenium complexes [Eq. (7-11)], in which LN represent nitrogen-donor ligands specified in the original reference.2 The chemical equations are... 

A good example is the excited state of the tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(2+) ion, Ru(bpy)5+. This species results from the transfer of an electron from the metal to a ligand. In the language of localized valences, it is a ruthenium(3+) ion, coordinated to two bipyridines and to one bipyridyl radical anion in other words, [Ru3+(bpy)2(bpy )]2+. This excited state is a powerful electron donor and acceptor.17 The following equations show an example of each quenching mode ... 

Arenesulfonyl chlorides77 as well as alkenesulfonyl chlorides78 react with vinylarenes in the presence of RuCl2(PPh3)3 and 1 molar equiv. of Et3N to form a,/ -unsaturated sulfones in 70-90% yields. The reaction mechanism for the ruthenium(II) catalyzed reaction involves a free-radical redox-transfer chain process as outlined below77 ... 

It has been demonstrated that group 6 Fischer-type metal carbene complexes can in principle undergo carbene transfer reactions in the presence of suitable transition metals [122]. It was therefore interesting to test the compatibility of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts and electrophilic metal carbene functionalities. A series of examples of the formation of oxacyclic carbene complexes by metathesis (e.g., 128, 129, Scheme 26) was published by Dotz et al. [123]. These include substrates where double bonds conjugated to the pentacarbonyl metal moiety participate in the metathesis reaction. Evidence is... 

D KR of allylic alcohols can be also performed using ruthenium complexes for the racemization that occurs through hydrogen transfer reactions (vide infra) [16].

Over the last decade a number of high oxidation state ruthenium porphyrin complexes containing 0x0 or imido ligands have been reported and have been thoroughly studied for their role in oxidation and atom-transfer chemistry. Although comparisons can be drawn with organometallic species (carbene, imido. and 0x0 ligands are formally isolobal) the chemistry of the 0x0 and imido complexes is beyond the scope of the review and will not be covered here. 

Ruthenium porphyrin complexes are also active in cyclopropanation reactions, with both stoichiometric and catalytic carbene transfer reactions observed for Ru(TPP)(=C(C02Et)2> with styrene. Ru(Por)(CO)orRu(TMP)(=0)2 catalyzed the cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyidiazoacetate, with aiiti.syn ratios of 13 1...

These transition-metal catalysts contain electronically coupled hydridic and acidic hydrogen atoms that are transferred to a polar unsaturated species under mild conditions. The first such catalyst was Shvo s diruthenium hydride complex reported in the mid 1980s [41 14], Noyori and Ikatiya developed chiral ruthenium catalysts showing excellent enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of ketones [45,46]. 

For SCVP of styrenic inimers, the mechanism includes cationic (14 [18], 19 [29]), atom transfer radical (15 [22, 27]), nitroxide-mediated radical (16 [21]), anionic (20 [19]), photo-initiated radical (17 [2], 18 [52-55]), and ruthenium-catalyzed coordinative (21 [56]) polymerization systems.

This technique is the most widely used and the most useful for the characterization of molecular species in solution. Nowadays, it is also one of the most powerful techniques for solids characterizations. Solid state NMR techniques have been used for the characterization of platinum particles and CO coordination to palladium. Bradley extended it to solution C NMR studies on nanoparticles covered with C-enriched carbon monoxide [47]. In the case of ruthenium (a metal giving rise to a very small Knight shift) and for very small particles, the presence of terminal and bridging CO could be ascertained [47]. In the case of platinum and palladium colloids, indirect evidence for CO coordination was obtained by spin saturation transfer experiments [47]. 

Reduction of acetophenone by PrOH/H has been studied with the ruthenium complexes [Ru(H)(ri2-BH )(CO)L(NHC)], (L = NHC, PPh3, NHC = IMes, IPr, SIPr). The activity of the system is dependent on the nature of the NHC and requires the presence of both PrOH and H, implying that transfer and direct hydrogenation mechanisms may be operating in parallel [15].
