Abstract

This paper presents the mechanistic aspects of the -O–O- bond activation by the Ru-pac (pac = polyaminocarboxylate) complex leading to the formation of various catalytic active species, viz. [RuIII(pac)(OOH)]2 − , [RuIV(pac)(OH)] −  and [RuV(pac)(O)] − , and their reactivity towards oxidation of a few organic compounds.

Ru-pac (pac = polyaminocarboxylate) complex catalysed -O–O- bond activation in H2O2, tBuOOH and KHSO5 leading to the formation of various catalytically active species, viz. [RuIII(pac)(OOH)]2–, [RuIV(pac)(OH)] and [RuV(pac)(O)], and their reactivity towards oxidation of cysteine and azo-dye.
