SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY IN INORGANIC AND METAL-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
New hexa-coordinated low-spin d(5) binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes of th
e type {[Ru(acac)(2)](2)L} (acac=acetylacetonate; L=dicarboxylate) have bee
n synthesised from the reactions of [Ru(acac)(3)] with various dicarboxylic
acids. IR spectra revealed chelate type of coordination for all the dicarb
oxylato bridged complexes and these complexes were characterised by element
al analyses, spectral (IR, electronic, EPR), magnetic moment and cyclic vol
tammetry data. Some of the complexes have been tested for in vitro growth i
nhibitory activity against the bacteria Escherichia coh, Bacillus sp. and p
seudomonas sp.
