Resumen:
This thesis has been focused on the synthesis and characterization of a series of new mono- and dinuclear ruthenium complexes containing polypyridyl ligands. These complexes have been applied for the catalytic reactions, such as CO2 reduction and oxidation of water and organic substrate. In the first, the catalytic activities toward CO2 reduction have been investigated from the viewpoint of electronic and steric properties of the catalysts as well as their nuclearity. In the second, the application of mono- and dinuclear Ru-aqua complexes containing anionic tridentate ligand toward oxidation reaction has been studied. Additionally, a potential reactivity of molybdate dianion, which can be considered as homogeneous model of heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts for CO2 transformation has been studied.
