Understanding the Speciation of Ruthenium Arene Complexes as Precursors to Unnatural Enzyme Cofactors
Ruthenium arene complexes have been extensively explored as metallo-pharmaceuticals and as small molecule catalysts. Exploring the overlap between these areas, this thesis describes a body of work aimed at quantitatively understanding the biological speciation and catalytic behaviour of ruthenium …

Hemilabile Phosphorus Enamine/Imine Ligands And Their Application In Ru-Catalyzed Aqueous Hydration Of Nitriles
… were obtained. Tungsten tetracarbonyl and ruthenium arene complexes of these new water soluble phosphines were also synthesized. The ligands coordinated in a k2-P,N bidendate fashion to the metal centers to give new iminophosphine complexes. Upon coordination to the metal centers, the …

Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Novel Water Soluble Diphosphines: Application to Ruthenium Catalyzed Aqueous Nitrile Hydration
… (5). Isolated tungsten tetracarbonyl complexes [W(CO)4(PTA-PiPr2)] (8) and [W(CO)4(PTA-P(NiPr)2(CH2)2)] (9) were useful in attributing electronic characteristics of 4 and 5. Ruthenium arene complexes of PTA-PiPr2 (4) exhibit monodentate, chelating, and bridging coordination modes. …
