En nuestro grupo se inició hace algunos años una línea de investigación dedicada al estudio de complejos de rutenio con ligandos fosfina-fosfito (P-OP). Esta elección se realizó en base a la diversa reactividad catalítica de los complejos de rutenio con ligandos fosforados, junto con la elevada modularidad de los ligandos P-OP preparados en...

Mildly does it: A highly enantioselective catalyst for the hydrogenation of N-aryl imines is described (see scheme). This catalyst offers practical advantages because it operates under very mild conditions and is based on an Ru complex with a diamine as the sole chiral ligand.

Phosphine-phosphites 3a and 3b, derived from diphenylhydroxymethyl phosphine have been prepared. From these ligands [Rh(COD)(3a)]BF4 5a and RuCl2(3b)[(S,S)-DPEN] 6b (DPEN = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) were synthesized and their structure determined by X-ray diffraction. Ligands 3 are characterized by a small bite angle of 83°. In addition, 5a...

A series of Ru complexes containing lutidine‐derived pincer CNC ligands have been prepared by transmetalation with the corresponding silver‐carbene derivatives. Characterization of these derivatives shows both mer and fac coordination of the CNC ligands depending on the wingtips of the N‐heterocyclic carbene fragments. In the presence of tBuOK,...
