  • Abstract
    Hydrogenation of ruthenium chloride in acetonitrile yields complexes of the type Ru(CH3CN)nCl6−n of which three are isolated (n=2, 3, 4). Their formation is traced by voltammetry. Ru(CH3CN)2Cl4 and Ru(CH3CN)3Cl3 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Voltammetry shows that Ru(CH3CN)3Cl3 acts as a mediator for oxidation of cyclohexene, methylcyclohexene, 1-tetralol and tetralin. Its role in tetralin oxidation is illustrated by preparative scale electrolysis. The compounds Ru(CH3CN)2Cl4 and Ru(CH3CN)4Cl2 did not react with any of the mentioned hydrocarbons.
