Reactivity of a Ru(iii)–hydroxo complex in substrate oxidation in water

Abstract

A mononuclear RuIII–OH complex oxidizes substrates such as hydroquinones in water through a pre-equilibrium process based on adduct formation by hydrogen bonding between the RuIII–OH complex and the substrates. The reaction mechanism switches from hydrogen atom transfer to electron transfer depending on the oxidation potential of substrates.
