Abstract
It is equally important from theoretical and practical point of view to study aqua complexes of transition metals. Among them, Ru(H2O)6(tos)2 (I, tos=p-toluenesulfonate) can be a versatile starting material in aqueous organometallic chemistry. It offers a genuine chlorine free entry into several classes of the ruthenium chemistry. In situ preparation of catalysts starting from I and the appropriate ligand is also possible. In this work earlier studies on Ru(H2O) 2+6 has reviewed and new results reported to explore the applicability of Ru(H2O) 2+6 in synthetic chemistry and catalysis.
