Ruthenium oxidation complexes: their uses as homogenous organic catalysts

Ruthenium Oxidation Complexes explores ruthenium complexes, particularly those in higher oxidation states, which function as useful and selective organic oxidation catalysts. Particular emphasis is placed on those systems which are of industrial significance. The preparation, properties and applications of theruthenium complexes are described, followed by a presentation of their oxidative properties and summary of the different mechanisms involved in the organicoxidations (e.g. oxidations of alcohols, alkenes, arenes and alkynes, alkanes, amines, ethers, phopshines and miscellaneous substrates), future trends and developments in the area are also discussed.
