Reactions of Alkynes with RuCl(Cyclopentadienyl) Complexes: The Important First Steps

Rosario Scopelliti, Ursula Röthlisberger, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Basile Curchod, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Barnali Dutta

Cyclopentadienyl–ruthenium half-sandwich complexes with η2-bound alkyne ligands have been suggested as catalytic intermediates in the early stages of Ru-catalyzed reactions with alkynes. We show that electronically unsaturated complexes of the formula [RuC ...

Synthesis of Chiral Bifunctional (Thio)Urea N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand, Jose Ignacio Osuna Siles

The rapid and modular synthesis of the first bifunctional N-heterocyclic carbenes bearing a (thio)urea moiety as H-bond donor group was reported. Different analogues could be accessed in seven steps from cheap (S)-pyroglutamic acid in good overall yields ( ...

Influence of the Arene Ligand, the Number and Type of Metal Centers, and the Leaving Group on the in Vitro Antitumor Activity of Polynuclear Organometallic Compounds

Kay Severin, Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov

Dinuclear ruthenium complexes were shown to exhibit strong antiproliferative properties in human tumor cell lines. In order to extend the structure−activity relationships (SARs), a series of new RuII(arene)X complexes (X = Cl, Br, I) linked by pyridinone-b ...
