Abstract
Deprotonation and two-electron oxidation of [RuII2(OH)2(Q)2(btpyan)]2+ (Q = 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-quinone, btpyan = 1,8-bis(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridyl)anthracene) was converted to bis(ruthenium-oxo) complex [Ru112(O)2(Q)2(btpyan)]2+ , which oxidized 1,3-cychrohexadiene and 1,2-dihydronaphtalene to corresponding aromatic compounds in the presence of AgClO4 and t-BuOK. On the other hand, mononuclear complex [RuII(OH2)(Q)(Ph-terpy)]2+ (Ph-terpy = 4′-phenyl-2,2′: 6′,2″-terpyridine, [2]2+) was converted to [RuII(OH)(Q)(Phterpy)]2+ under the similar conditions, but displayed the low activity for the oxidation compared with the dinuclear complex [1]2+.
