µ-Chloro-µ-hydrido-dichlorobis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)di-rhodium and -iridium as homogenous hydrogenation catalysts
Abstract
The hydrido-complexes [{M(C5Me5)}2HCl3](M = Rh, Ir) react readily with 1,3-dienes to give enyl complexes and are also good catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of olefins.
