Selective NH₃-to-N₂H₄ conversion electrocatalysed by ruthenium(ii)-cymene complexes.

ABSTRACT: A series of ruthenium(ii)-cymene complexes [(η ⁶-p-cymene)Ru(pp)Cl] (1-4) and corresponding NH₃-ligated complexes [(η ⁶-p-cymene)Ru(pp)(NH₃)]PF₆ ([1-NH₃]PF₆ to [4-NH₃]PF₆), where cymene = 4-isopropyltoluene and pp^- = pyridylpyrrole ligand, have been designed and synthesized. Structural modifications of pp^- ligands are accomplished through the use of an increasing number of electron-donating methyl groups on the pyrrole unit. Solid-state structural analysis shows that these complexes have a typical piano-stool structure. Electrochemical studies of these complexes illustrate that the introduction of a methyl group to the pp^- ligand ca
