Paragraph 0156; 0161; 0162; 0178; 0179, (2020/06/20)
The invention relates to a metal complex catalyst, which contains at least one of metal complexes with a chemical formula comprising a structural unit represented by a formula I. According to the invention, the center metal of the metal complex catalyst is iridium, and the metal complex catalyst is composed of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, a bitetrahydropyrimidine ligand and proper coordination anions; the metal complex catalyst has activity on a carboxylic acid reduction reaction, and a carboxylic acid compound is reduced into an alcohol compound in the presence of hydrogen; and the method ismild in reaction condition, can be carried out at room temperature, and is good in catalytic performance and high in reduction product yield.
