The question of remote steric effects

Remote steric effects, thought to arise from long hydrocarbon chains coiling about reactive sites, are absent in three non-aqueous systems designed to maximize the effect.

Organoruthenium-supported polyoxotungstate - Synthesis, structure and oxidation of n-hexadecane with air

A ruthenium complex, KNa[Ru2(C6H6) 2(CH3COO)6] (Ru-KNa), and its polyoxotungstate derivative, Na6[{Ru(C6H6)}2W 8O28(OH)2]·16H2O (Ru-Na), have been successfully isolated from routine synthetic reactions and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. A remarkable aspect of Ru-KNa is that it has two ligand types, benzene and acetate, and the acetate ligands are connected exclusively by a central Na cation to form a dimeric sandwich-type structure, which is further connected by K cations to construct the 3D structures. Based on complex Ru-KNa, the compound Ru-Na was synthesized, and it consists of two {Ru(C 6H6)} units linked to a [W8O 28(OH)2]10- fragment by three Ru-O(W) bonds to result in an assembly with idealized C2 symmetry in which the polyanions form 3D structures by the connection of Na chains. Subsequently, the compound Ru-Na was anchored on (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (apts) modified SBA-15 to prepare the solid catalysts, which were characterized by powder XRD, N2 adsorption measurements and FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, the catalytic efficiency of Ru-Na was assessed in the oxidation of n-hexadecane with air without any additives and solvents. The results indicated that Ru-Na is a heterogeneous catalyst and exhibits higher catalytic activity than previously reported Ru-containing polyoxotungstates. Copyright
