N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium complexes consisting of different donor substituents attached to the NHC ligand efficiently catalyse the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and of activated olefins in α,β-unsaturated ketones to give saturated alcohols. The most active catalyst precursor contains a tethered olefin as a hemilabile donor site. This complex also converts nitriles and,...

The nicotinamide coenzyme NADH, consumed in enantioselective reduction of ketones catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenases, needs to be regenerated in order to maintain enzymatic activity. We therefore studied the catalytic potential of the cationic complexes [(η5-C5Me5)Rh(N∩N)Cl]+ (1: N∩N = 1,10-phenanthroline; 2: N∩N =...

The mononuclear cations [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl(bpym)]+ (1), [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl(bpym)]+ (2), [(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl(bpym)]+ (3) and [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl(bpym)]+ (4) as well as the dinuclear dications...

The cationic chloro complexes [(arene)Ru(H2N∩NH2)Cl]+ (1: arene = C6H6; 2: arene = p-MeC6H4iPr; 3: arene = C6Me6) have been synthesised from the corresponding arene ruthenium dichloride dimers and enantiopure (R,R or S,S)...
