H. Aneetha et al., SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF DINUCLEAR IRON(III) AND RUTHENIUM(III) COMPLEXES, Polyhedron, 15(14), 1996, pp. 2445-2451
A number of dinuclear iron(III) and ruthenium(III) complexes from dinu
cleating ligands have been synthesised and characterized. The iron(III
) complexes of dinucleating triazene-1-oxide ligands (type 1) catalyse
the epoxidation of alkenes with iodosyl benzene as an oxidant. The ca
talytic activity of iron(III) complexes of dinucleating Schiff base li
gands (type 2) could not be studied due to insolubility. Ruthenium(III
) complexes of both types of ligands catalyse epoxidation reactions. C
