In the title compound, [Ir(C8H12)(C8H14N2)(C18H15P)]BF4, the cationic complex has the anticipated square-planar geometry. The asymmetric unit comprises the iridium complex and one tetrafluoridoborate anion. The space group is non-centrosymmetric, with the Flack parameter of 0.007 (3) well determined, and confirms the hand for the complex cation. This compound shows promising catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation reactions.

We show that the reaction of Ru<sup>II</sup> arene chlorido complexes of the type [(η<sup>6</sup>-arene)Ru(N,N’)Cl]<sup>+</sup> arene = p-cymene (pcym), hexamethylbenzene (hmb), indane (ind), <em>N,N’</em> = bipyrimidine (bpm) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with excess sodium formate generates a very stable formate adduct through spontaneous hydrolysis of the Ru-Cl bond at 310 K and pH* = 7.0. The formate adducts are also produced when Ru<sup>II</sup> arene pyridine complexes of the type [(η<sup>6</sup>-arene)Ru(N,N’)(Py)]<sup>2+</sup> (where Py = pyridine), are irradiated with UVA (λ<sub>irr</sub> = 300-400 nm) or visible light (λ<sub>irr</sub> = 400-660 nm) under the same conditions. The Ru<sup>II</sup> arene formato adducts do not catalyse the reduction of acetone through transfer hydrogenation. However, all the complexes (except complex <strong>2</strong> which contains phen as the chelating ligand) can catalyse the regioselective reduction of NAD<sup>+</sup> in the presence of formate (25 mol equiv) in aqueous solution to form 1,4-NADH. The catalytic activity is dependent on the nature of the chelating ligand. Most interestingly, the regioselective reduction of NAD+ to 1,4-NADH can be also specifically triggered by photoactivating a RuII arene Py complex.

Three new Schiff base rhodium (III) complexes, derived from three ligands, L1, L2 and L3 have been prepared and characterized by IR, 1HNMR, mass spectra and the elemental analysis. These complexes have shown efficient catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of wide variety ketones to the corresponding alcohols in formic acid/triethylamine solution under mild reaction conditions. Depending on the ketone, the percentage of conversion for RhL1 have been found to be (51-92%) compared to RhL2 which had a yield of (42-92%) while for RhL3 (71-94%), within time range of   0.5-12 hrs.  Keywords: Schiff base; Rhodium (III) complex; Transfer hydrogenation; Diamine.                      © 2010 JSR Publications.

The reaction of 2-aminonicotinaldehyde with 2- or 4-methoxyacetophenone in basic media leads to the new ligands 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine and 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, respectively, in high yield. The reaction of these naphthyridine derivatives with [RuCl2(CO)2] n leads to the respective complexes cis-dicarbonyldichloridobis[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-κN 8]ruthenium(II) and cis-dicarbonyldichloridobis[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-κN 8]ruthenium(II), both [RuCl2(C15H12N2O)2(CO)2], in good yield. Both ruthenium(II) complexes display a slightly distorted octahedron with two cis carbonyl, two cis chloride and two cis naphthyridine ligands, the latter coordinated in a monodentate fashion through the N atom in the 8-position. Both complexes exhibit a moderate catalytic activity in the hydrogen-transfer reaction from propan-2-ol to acetophenone in the presence of a base, with 100% selectivity.
