Abstract

Hydrogenation of ruthenium chloride in acetonitrile yields complexes of the type Ru(CH₃CN)_nCl_6-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.
