Abstract
The reaction of calcium naphthyridine-2,7-dicarboxylate (Cadcnp) with Ru2(OAc)4Cl in water resulted in the formation of Ca[Ru2(dcnp)(OAc)3]2 (3). X-ray crystal structural analysis of 3 confirmed its molecular structure and showed that the calcium ion binds to the lateral carboxylate groups of four neighboring anionic units of [Ru2(dcnp)(μ-OAc)3] and two acetone molecules to form a two-dimensional framework. The RuII-RuII valence state of the diruthenium core was supported by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry [μeff (300 K) = 2.77 μB]. Complex 3 appears to be an efficient catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of olefins in aqueous media under mild conditions. Typically, the reaction of pulegone with NaIO4 in water catalyzed by 3 (1 mol-%) at 45 C afforded 3-methyladipic acid quantitatively. The reaction of calcium naphthyridine-2,7-dicarboxylate (Cadcnp) with Ru2(OAc)4Cl provides Ca[Ru2(dcnp)(OAc)3]2 as the exclusive product. The complex is catalytically active for the oxidative cleavage of olefins in aqueous media.
