Efforts of develop catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation using ruthenium(II)-chelated ditertiary phosphine complexes have led to the synthesis of the complexes 2μ-Cl3>+ PF6-, + PF6-, and 6-toluene)(P-P)>+ PF6-, where P-P = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane.The characterization of the complexes, including X-ray data for the pseudo-tetrahedral toluene complex, is described.In preliminary tests, the tris(acetonitrile) complex has been shown to be a precursor for a catalyst that effects homogeneous hydrogenation of terminal olefins, CH3CN, and imines.
