Syntheses and structural investigations of new half sandwich Ir(III) and Rh(III) amine compounds and their catalytic transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones and aldehydes in water
Ligand exchange from “protonated open ruthenocene” afforded 16-electron ruthenium half-sandwich complexes as efficient transfer hydrogenation catalysts.
One pot conversion of furfural to -valerolactone by transfer hydrogenation has been achieved over bifunctional Zr and TPA located in mesoporous silica catalysts. Different catalysts with TPA and ZrO2 located...
