title: Catalytic and biological activities of Ru(III) mixed ligand complexes containing N,O donor of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylideneimines.
abstract: A series of stable low spin Ru(III) complexes of the type [RuX2(EPh3)2(L)] (where E = P or As; X = Cl or Br; L = mono basic bidentate Schiff bases) have been synthesized and were characterized by analytical, spectral and electrochemical data. A distorted octahedral geometry has been proposed for all the complexes. These complexes catalyze oxidation of primary alcohols and secondary alcohol with high yields in the presence of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO). The ruthenium(III) Schiff base complexes show growth inhibitory activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (209p) and E. coli ESS (2231).
