Abstract

The cis-[Ru^II(L)₂(OH₂)₂] ²⁺ complexes (L = substituted 2,2′-bipyridines or 1,10-phenanthrolines) catalyse oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons to alcohols and ketones by t-butylhydroperoxide; the low values of kinetic isotope effect (k_H/k_D = 3.5 for cyclohexane) and tertiary of secondary C-H bond relative reactivities (k_tert/k_sec ca. 6.5 for adamantane) are in a range expected for hydrogen atom abstraction by radical species.
