Synthesis,characterization,electrochemistry,catalytic and biological activities of ruthenium(III) complexes containing dibasic tridentate Schiff bases

摘要

The synthesis and characterisation of several ruthenium(III) Schiff base complexes of the type [RuX(L)(EPh_3)_2] (X= Cl or Br;E=P or As;L=dibasic anion of the Schiff bases derived by the condensation of thiosemicarbazide with acetoacetanilide,acetoacet-o-toluidide and o-chloro acetoacetanilide) are reported.IR,EPR,electronic spectra,electrochemistry and catalytic activity of the complexes are discussed.An octahedral structure has been tentatively assigned to all of the new complexes.The complexes have been subjected to antibacterial study.
