| dc.description.abstract | A new heterobimetallic ruthenium(II) complex with general formula [Ru(NCCH3)2(P(OMe)2Ph)2- (dppf)][BF4]2. {NCCH3 = acetonitrile P(OMe)2Ph = dimethylphenylphosphonite, dppf = 1,1’-bis-{diphenylphosphino}ferrocene} was synthesized from a one pot reaction of [Ru(COD)-(NCCH3)4][BF4]2, dimethylphenylphosphonite and 1,1’-bis{diphenylphosphino}ferroc-ene in dichloromethane under continuous stirring. The complex was characterized by NMR (31P{1H}, 1H and 13C), vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Catalytic performance of the complex in the transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone was investigated. An 80% conversion was achieved at a substrate to catalyst ratio of 1250 with 98% selectivity. | en_US |
