title: Synthesis and characterization of a novel dialdehyde and cyclic anhydride.
abstract: The acid treatment of a ruthenabenzene yielded an unusual dialdehyde. Interestingly, this dialdehyde has notable anti-oxidative properties and resists even nitric acid. This stability is confirmed by chemical and electrochemical experiments. In addition, a stable cyclic anhydride is synthesized from the dialdehyde via an environmentally friendly electrochemical method.
