Abstract

In this study, we compared carbene and pyridine substituted ligands {3-Me-1-[2-(CH2CH2SPh)]-C7H4N2} (L1) and {2-[(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)N=CH]-6-(MeO)C5H3N}(L2) for synthesis of ionic C,S- and N,N-coordinated Ru (II) complexes [(κ2-L1)RuCl(η6-p-cymene)]+Cl (1), [(κ2-L1)RuI(η6-p-cymene)]+I (2), and [(κ2-L2)RuCl(η6-p-cymene)]+Cl (3), respectively. Stannylene ligand [{2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3}SnCl] (L3), as heavy carbene analog, was also used in this study to prepare neutral Sn-coordinated Ru (II) complex [(κ1-L3)RuCl26-p-cymene)] (4). Finally, reaction of SnCl2 with 1, 3, and 4 was also studied to yield [(κ2-L1)RuCl(η6-p-cymene)]+[SnCl3] (5), [(κ2-L2)RuCl(η6-p-cymene)]+[SnCl3] (6), and [(κ1-L3)RuCl (SnCl3)(η6-p-cymene)] (7). The catalytic activity of 1–7 was tested on aerobic oxidation of benzylamine. The effect of different ligands L1–3 as well as the effect of the SnCl3 moiety is discussed.
