Tesis doctoral de Lydia Vaquer Malia
The phd thesis presented deals with the synthesis, thorough spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization and catalytic application of new mononuclear ruii-oh2 complexes containing a wide set of n- and o-donor ligands. The key influence of the electronic properties of the surrounding ligands on the redox chemistry of the resulting complexes and in the final output of catalytic oxidation reactions has been studied and rationalized. From the wide set of exhaustively studied ru-oh2 catalysts a few were selected in order to develop more complex systems to be used in (a) heterogeneous catalysis (gathering easily recyclable catalytic systems) and (b) supramolecular catalysis (in order to pursue the regio-selective oxidation of complex organic substrates). For the development of heterogeneous catalysis magnetic nanoparticles (nps) were chosen as support and the resulting ru-np systems presented good dispersion in organic solvents and could be easily removed and recycled, reaching a quasi-homogeneous system in which the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous processes were combined. Furthermore, the introduction of chirality into the catalytic systems was also performed in the last chapter through a new chiral pineno-fused tridentate ligand.
