Ruthenium(ill) acetylacetonate was employed for the first time as homogeneous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate was not reduced by sodium borohydride under the experimental conditions and remains unchanged after the catalysis. Poisoning experiments with mercury and trimethylphosphite provide compelling evidence for the fact that ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate is indeed a homogenous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Kinetics of the ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate catalyzed hydrolysis of sodium borohydride was studied depending on the catalyst concentration, substrate concentration, and temperature. The hydrogen generation was found to be first order with respect to both the substrate concentration and catalyst concentration. The activation parameters of this reaction were also determined from the evaluation of the kinetic data: activation energy; E(d) = 58.2 +/- 2.6 kJ mol(-1), the enthalpy of activation: Delta H(#) = 55.7 +/- 2.5 kJ mol(-1) and the entropy of activation Delta S(#) = 118 +/- 5 J mol(-1) K(-1). Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate was found to be highly active catalyst providing 1200 turnovers over 180 min in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride before deactivation.

Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2 '-bipyridine)tungsten(0) Edinc, Pelin; Oenal, Ahmet M.; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-15) 6-Ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (fcbpy) was prepared by the reaction of lithiated ferrocene with bipyridine and employed as a bidentate ligand for the formation of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine)tungsten(0). The labile complex pentacarbonyl[eta(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne]tungsten(0) reacts with fcbpy in CH2Cl2 to yield the disubstitution product, W(CO)(4)(fcbpy), which was isolated as analytically pure substance and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, MS, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscop...

Selective recognition of anionic cell membranes using targeted liposomes coated with zinc(II)-bis(dipicolylamine) affinity units Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Palumbo, Rachael; Smith, Bradley D. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014-08-14) Zinc(II)-bis(dipicolylamine) (Zn(2)BDPA) coated liposomes are shown to have high recognition selectivity towards vesicle and cell membranes with anionic surfaces. Robust synthetic methods were developed to produce Zn(2)BDPA-PEG-lipid conjugates with varying PEG linker chain length. One conjugate (Zn(2)BDPA-PEG(2000)-DSPE) was used in liposome formulations doped with the Lipophilic near-infrared fluorophore DiR. Fluorescence cell microscopy studies demonstrated that the multivalent Liposomes selectively and ...

Spectral data indicate that the complexes contain two identical M(CO)5 moieties linked to each other by the R2P(CH2)nPR2 ligand. Each metal atom has a pseudo-octahedral arrangement of the five CO ligands and one phos...
