- Description: This research study describes the formation and characterization of novel paramagnetic ruthenium complexes, cis-Cl, trans-P-[RuIIICl2(carboim)(PPh3)2] with bidentate chelating carbohydrazide Schiff bases (carboim = bpc for 1, ttc for 2 and tpc for 3). These metal complexes were synthesized by the equimolar coordination reactions of trans-[RuCl2(PPh3)2] with N-[1,3-benzothiazole-2-ylmethylidene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide (Hbpc), N-((uracil-5-yl)methylene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (Httc) and N-[(uracil-5-yl)methylidene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide (Htpc), respectively. Physicochemical techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance-, electron-spin resonance- and infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, voltammetry as well as molar conductivity measurements provided definitive determinations of the respective ruthenium compounds’ structures.

- Description: In this study, the synthesis and characterization of new paramagnetic ruthenium(III) complexes: cis-[RuCl2(urdpa)] (1) {Hurdpa = 6-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)uracil} and fac-[RuCl3(chrdpa)] (2) {chrdpa = 4-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-7-methoxycoumarin} are reported. These metal complexes have been comprehensively characterized by an array of physicochemical techniques and the X-ray solid-state structures of 1 and Hurdpa have been attained.
