Mmt. Khan et al., A DIRUTHENIUM(III)-MU-OXO COMPLEX WITH AMINO-ACID BRIDGES AND ITS OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN, Polyhedron, 12(12), 1993, pp. 1437-1441
A stable diamagnetic complex of the type [(Ru(III)edta) 2-mu-(amino-ac
idato)-2-mu-oxo]6-is reported. The amino acid bridge in the presence o
f oxygen undergoes oxidative deamination. as shown by the formation of
an alpha-keto acid and the liberation of NH3. The reaction is catalyt
ic.
