The authors describe the chemical preparation of water-soluble phosphine complexes of ruthenium (II) and rhodium (I). The complex RuCl{sub 2}(PTA){sub 4} (2a) and its protonated analog RuCl{sub 2}(PTA){sub 4}{center_dot} 2HCl (2b) and the cis-bis-(phosphine) complex RhCl(PTA){sub 2}{center_dot} 2HCl, derived form the protonation of RhCl(PTA){sub 3} by HCl were characterized by X-ray crystallography. 2a is catalytically active for the conversion of unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols and RhCl(PTA){sub 3} catalyzes olefin hydrogenation. 14 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
