Abstract
A series of bidentate N2O2 Schiff base ligands and a new binuclear ruthenium(II) complex with a Schiff base ligand were successfully synthesized. The molecular structures of bis-bidentate N2O2 Schiff base ligands H2L1 (4,4’-Sulfonylbis(N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)aniline)), H2L2 (4,4’-Sulfonylbis(N-(2-hydroxy-4-chlorobenzylidene)aniline)), H2L3 (4,4’-Sulfonylbis(N-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dibromobenzylidene)aniline)) and L1-Ru2 (L1[Ru(CO)H(PPh3)2]2) were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and characterized by IR, NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopy along with microanalyses. The Ru(II) complex has N2O2 metal binding sites that are interconnected by biphenyl-sulfone bridge. The crystal structures of H2L1–3 adopt the anti-closed conformer. The ruthenium atoms in the binuclear neutral complex species have identical coordination octahedron environments, RuNOP2HCl. Furthermore, antioxidant activity and photocatalytic property of the Ru(II) complex was also investigated, exhibiting high antioxidant activity and stable photocatalytic hydrogen production performance.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
