Direct reaction between [Cr(CO)6] and arenes with ionic substituents affords the corresponding arene-chromium tricarbonyl complexes, [Cr(CO)3(arene)], in only modest yield. In contrast, these complexes can be prepared in pure form in ...

A new range of pendent diphosphine (η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II) complexes, [RuCl(PPh3)(η1-(P-P))(η6-p-cymene)]PF6 (P-P = dppm, cis-PPh2CHCHPPh2

This thesis encompasses work on the coordination chemistry and catalytic activity of half sandwich ruthenium(II)-arene phosphine complexes. The investigation of phosphine dissociation and association reactions of these complexes represents the unifying the ...

The ruthenium(II)-triphos acetato complex [RuCl(OAc)(k3-triphos)] (triphos = (PPh2CH2)3CMe) has been found to be an active catalyst precursor for the hydrogenation of 1-alkenes under relatively mild conditions (5-50 bar H2, 50 °C). In contrast to related t ...

Natural bond orbital (NBO) and topological electron density analyses have been used to investigate the electronic structure of phosphazenes [N3P3R6] (R = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, CF3, N(C2H4< ...

The influence of phosphane "arm-on, arm-off" assocn./dissocn. in rhodium catalyzed alkene hydrogenation using [Rh(COD)(k3-triphos)]PF6 {1, COD = cyclooctadiene, triphos = 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)ethane} has been investigated by comparison of th ...

The catalytic activity of a ruthenium(II)-p-cymene complex containing a partially coordinated triphosphine ligand, [RuCl(kappa(2)-triphos)(p-cymene)]PF6 1, has been investigated in the hydrogenation of styrene to ethylbenzene. The influence of arene dissoc ...

The antitumor activity of the organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene mixed phosphine complexes, [Ru(h6-p-cymene)Cl(PTA)(PPh3)]BF4 1b and [Ru(h6-C6H5CH2CH2OH)Cl(PTA)(PPh3)]BF4 2b (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), have been evaluated in vitro and compare ...

The reaction of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with some bis(phosphane) ligands (dppm, dppe, dppv, dppa, dpp14b, dppf) has been investigated. In general mixtures of products were obtained, although the pendant phosphane complexes [( ...

Bis-phosphine Ru(II)-arene complexes are highly active and chemoselective catalysts for the hydrogenation of aldehydes in the presence of olefinic bonds. Mechanistic studies, including comparisons with a structural analog, reactions of an isolated hydride ...

The new mixed-metal complex {anti-[(p-cymene)RuCl]-m-[k 2-P,P';k 1-P''-(PPh2CH2)3CMe]-[AuCl]}PF6 and its cluster deriv. {anti-[(p-cymene)RuCl]-m-[k 2-P,P';k 1-P''-(PPh2CH2)3CMe]-[AuPt3(CO)3(PCy3)3]}(PF6)2 have been prepd. and characterized. Notably, NMR sp ...

Reaction of 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)binaphthol (BINAPO, 1) with [RuCl2(η6-arene)]2 in methanol leads to dinuclear BINAPO-bridged Ru compounds [{RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)}2-(μ-BINAPO)], 2a, in ne ...
