Herein, we report the design and characterization of a novel series of four push-pull fluorophores using diphenylphosphino as an electron-donating terminal group (P-chromophores). The spectroscopic properties in solution, the aggregation-induced emission

Three different series of novel mononuclear arene-ruthenium(II) complexes containing amino-phosphine ligands, namely, [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)], [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-3-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)], and [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-4-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)] (arene = C6H6, p-cymene, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me 6; R = iPr, tBu; all combinations), have been synthesized and fully characterized. These readily accessible species are efficient catalysts for the selective hydration of organonitriles into amides under challenging reaction conditions, i.e., pure aqueous medium in the absence of any cocatalyst, being much more active than their corresponding nonfunctionalized triphenylphosphine counterparts [RuCl2(PPh 3)(η6-arene)]. The results obtained in this study indicate that the (amino-phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexes operate through a "bifunctional catalysis" mechanism in which the ruthenium center acts as a Lewis acid, activating the nitrile molecule, and the P-donor ligand acts as a Brnsted base, the pendant amino group generating the real nucleophile of the hydration process, i.e., the OH- group.
