Hydrogen chemistry of ruthenium complexes containing one chelating (P-P) or (P-N) ligand per Ru atom
- Univ. of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada)
Hydrogenation catalysts are of interest to a variety of fields such as fuels preparation. This report describes a hydrogenation catalysts concerning ruthenium. The most versatile hydrogenation catalysts appear to be based on Ru(P-P) species containing one chelating ditertiaryphosphine(P-P) ligand per metal, particularly for asymmetric hydrogenation when (P-P) is chiral. We have studied the interaction of H{sub 2} with, and catalytic hydrogenation activity (toward olefins ketones, nitrites and imines) of, systems containing the {open_quote}RuCl{sub 2}(P-P){close_quote} moiety or corresponding chelating (P-N) ligands where N is a tertiary amine. Variation in conditions leads to detection or isolation of, for example, ({eta}{sup 2}-H{sub 2})(P-P)Ru({mu}-Cl){sub 3}RuCl(P-P) (1), ({eta}{sup 2}-H{sub 2})(P-P)Ru({mu}-Cl){sub 2}({mu}-H)Ru(H)(P-P) (2), and [Ru(H)Cl(P-P)]{sub 3} (3), as well as analogous species where the {eta}{sup 2}-H{sub 2} of 1 or 2 is replaced by olefin, ketone, nitrile, or imine. The connectivity between 1-3, and kinetic and mechanistic details of selected catalytic hydrogenations will be discussed. Within (P-N) systems, the mononuclear species ({eta}{sup 2}-H{sub 2})RuCl{sub 2}(P-N)(PR{sub 3}) and Ru(H)Cl(P-N)(PR{sub 3}) are formed (R = Ph or p-tolyl), as well as species analogous to 2.
