Cationic [Ru-III(app)(pic)(H2O)](+) (1) complex (Happ = N-(hydroxyphenyl)py
ridine-2-carboxaldimine; Hpic = picolinic acid) has been synthesized and ch
aracterized by physico-chemical methods and employed as catalyst in the oxi
dation of both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons using tert-butylhydro
peroxide (t-BuOOH). A mechanism involving formation of and transfer from a
reactive high valent Ru(V)-oxo species as catalytic intermediate is propose
d for the catalytic processes. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re
