Have a look at our recent paper entitled “Halide assisted electrophilic C-H activation in aqueous acid and salt solutions for the synthesis of Ru(III)-abnormal-NHC complexes” published in Organometallics Abstract Synthesis of Ru(III)-aNHC complexes 1a’ and 1b’ has been achieved in the aqueous acid medium at ambient temperature. The abnormal binding mode of NHC through Read More …

Have a look at our recent paper entitled “Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Photophysical and Biological Properties of Tetrafluoroacridine” published in Chemistryselect Abstract 1,4,5,8-Tetrafluoroacridine was successfully synthesized from 1,4,5,8-tetrafluoroacridone through transfer hydrogenation using an in-house ruthenium pincer catalyst followed by in situ dehydration. The synthetic protocol involves the copper-catalyzed coupling Read More …

Have a look at our recent paper entitled “Phosphine-free Ru(II)-CNC pincer complexes with mixed protic- and classical-NHCs in the same molecule for hydrogen production via oxidant-free benzyl alcohol dehydrogenation to benzoic acids” published in New J. Chem. Abstract Following our recent strategy of using suitably substituted ligand precursors for the Read More …

Have a look at our recent paper entitled “Unravelling the kinetics of electro- and photochemical S→O linkage isomerization in Ru(II)-NHC-DMSO complexes utilised for photoinduced substitution reactions” published in Dalton Trans. Abstract Our recently reported Ru(III)–NHC complexes 1a and 1b were utilized as suitable precursors to prepare new Ru(II)–NHC–(DMSO)2 complexes 2a and 2b. Complexes 2a and 2b reacted with 2,2′-bipyridine to give complexes 3a and 3b, Read More …
