[(η6-p-cymene)Ru(H2O)3]2 + binding capability of aminohydroxamates - A solution and solid state study

The interaction between [Ru(η6-p-cymene)(H2O)3]2 + and various aminohydroxamates was studied with the aid of combined pH-potentiometric, 1H-NMR and ESI-TOF-MS methods in aqueous solution, furthermore, the crystal and molecular structure of [{Ru(η6-p-cymene)}2(μ2-α-alahaH− 1)(H2O)Br]Br ∙ H2O and [{Ru(η6-p-cymene)}2(μ2-α-alahaH− 1)(H2O)Cl]BF4 ∙ H2O (α-alaha = 2-amino-N-hydroxyacetamide) was determined by X-ray diffraction method.124
