The design of nanocomposites consisting of functional metals and proper matrices is a very active field of research for the development of recyclable catalysts. Highly active metallic nanoparticles must be stabilized by a suitable support in order to prevent aggregation to bulk metal. Hectorite, a representative smectite clay featured by its unique swelling properties and flexible intercalation...

Superparamagnetic core-shell-type Fe3O4/Ru nanoparticles (particle size ca. 15 nm) synthesized by co-precipitation, adsorption and reduction methods were found to selectively hydrogenate the carbon-oxygen double bond in trans-4-phenyl-3-penten-2-one (conversion 100 %, selectivity > 90 %) with a catalytic turnover of 900 under mild reaction conditions (30 °C, 15 bar...

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,...

Two families of arene ruthenium oxinato complexes of the types [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)Cl] and [(η6-arene)Ru(η2-N,O-L)(OH2)]+ have been synthesized from the dinuclear precursors [(η6-arene)RuCl2]2 (arene = para-cymeme or hexamethylbenzene) and the corresponding oxine LH (LH =...

The reaction of 2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H-inden-2-ol with ruthenium chloride hydrate in refluxing ethanol yields the chloro-bridged dinuclear complex [RuCl2(indanol)]2 (1). The mononuclear complex [Ru(indanol)(H2O)3]2+ (2), formed in situ from 1 in aqueous solution, reacts with the dinuclear complex...

Ferrocene carboxylic acid 2-cyclohexa-1,4-dienyl-ethyl ester (1) is prepared from ferrocene carboxylic acid and 2-cyclohexa-1,4-dienyl-ethanol. This diene reacts with RuCl3•nH2O in refluxing ethanol to afford quantitatively [Ru(Fc-arene)Cl2]2 (2) (Fc-arene=ferrocene carboxylic acid phenethyl ester). The dinuclear complex 2...

We report on the phenomenon of protein-accelerated catalysis in the field of artificial metalloenzymes based on the non-covalent incorporation of biotinylated rhodium–diphosphine complexes in (strept)avidin as host proteins. By incrementally varying the [Rh(COD)(Biot-1)]+ vs. (strept)avidin ratio, we show that the enantiomeric excess of the produced acetamidoalanine decreases slowly....
