Behavioral patterns and responses to human disturbance of wild somali ostrich in Samburu, Kenya
(2016)
Somali ostrich has suffered a drastic decline in its population and range mainly due to hunting over the years for meat, skin and feathers. Urgent conservation measures should therefore be taken to reverse this trend ...
A study of new half-sandwich Osmium(II) complexes with bidentate N,N-chelating ligands and their use in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones
(2016-11)
The reaction of appropriate N,N-bidentate ligands with the [(η6-p-cymene)Os(μ-Cl)Cl]2 dimer, followed by metathesis reaction with NH4PF6, gave the new osmium(II) arene complex salts [(η6-p-cymene)OsCl(C5H4N-2-CH=N-R]PF6, ...
Synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with N-alkyl pyridyl-imine ligands and their application in transfer hydrogenation of ketones
(2016-08-24)
A series of new arene ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by reaction of ruthenium(II) precursors of the general formula [(η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with N,N′-bidentate pyridyl-imine ligands to form complexes of the type ...
Synthesis and characterization of piano-stool ruthenium complexes with N,N′-pyridine imine bidentate ligands and their application in styrene oxidation
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
The new complexes [(η6-arene)RuCl(C5H4N-2-CH N-R)]PF6 (arene = C6H6 with R = 4- flourophenyl (1), 4-chlorophenyl (2), 4-bromophenyl (3), 4 -iodophenyl (4), 2, 5-dichlorophenyl (5) or p-cymene with R = 4-flourophenyl (6), ...
Application of arene ruthenium(II) complexes with pyridine-2-carboxaldimine ligands in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones
(Elsevier, 2016-05)
The reaction of various pyridine-2-carboxaldimine ligands with the [(η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 dimer followed by a metathesis reaction with ammonium hexaflourophosphate, yielded the ruthenium(II) arene complex salts ...
Synthesis and characterization of some new half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with bidentate N,N′-ligands and their application in alcohol oxidation
(2016)
Graphical abstract
New ruthenium (II) pyridine-imine complexes have been prepared and characterized. They show good catalytic activity in the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl products using NaIO4 in a H2O/tert-butanol mixture.
