Abstract
The basic aqueous coordination chemistry of Ru^II^ has been studied using the catalytically important TPPTS phosphine (TPPTS=trisodium salt of 3,3′,3″‐phosphinetriylbenzenesulfonic acid) and small gas molecules (H~2~, CO, N~2~) as ligands. As a result, new water‐soluble ruthenium mixed hydride complexes, presumably key species in many industrial catalytic processes, have been formed and identified. The Ru^II^ mixed hydrides were synthesized, and their formation was followed in situ by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, pressurizing aqueous Ru^II^TPPTS systems with H~2~ and CO gas in sapphire NMR tubes. The formation equilibrium of these complexes is highly dependant on the temperature and the gas pressures. Under 50 atm of N~2~, the unique [RuH(CO)(N~2~)(TPPTS)~2~(H~2~O)]^+^ complex has been identified, which could be the first step toward dinitrogen activation.

A new water-soluble iron(III) sequestering agent has been designed. The tris-bidentate tripodal ligand consists of three 2,2Ј-dihydroxybiphenyl subunits connected via amide linkages at their meta (4-) positions to a framework of the "tren" type. The key step of the synthesis involves the coupling of
