Electrochemistry as a correlation tool candidate with catalytic activities in Ru-catalyzed hydrolytic oxidation of organosilane

Abstract

Electrochemical parameters measured from a series of ruthenium complexes are nicely correlated with both structural changes and catalytic activities of those species under the reaction conditions providing a possibility that electrochemistry may offer a facile tool for better understanding of some transition metal-catalyzed reactions.
