The invention relates to the technical field of
ruthenium coordination compound synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of
tris (4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl)
ruthenium hexafluorophosphate (II). According to the preparation method provided by the invention, a trivalent
ruthenium source, 4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl and water-soluble
hexafluorophosphate are taken as raw materials, water is taken as a
solvent,
monobasic acid and / or monobasic
aldehyde with the
carbon atom number of 1-2 are / is taken as a
reducing agent, and
tris (4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl) ruthenium
hexafluorophosphate (II) is prepared with high yield through a one-pot method. According to the method, ruthenium (III) in a trivalent ruthenium source is reduced into ruthenium (II) by a
reducing agent, meanwhile, the reduced ruthenium compound (II) is coordinated with 4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl to form tri (4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl) ruthenium (II) ions, and finally, the tri (4, 4 '-dimethyl-2, 2'-dipyridyl) ruthenium (II) ions react with water-soluble hexafluorophosphate to obtain a target product.
