Aggregation in solution of neutral half-sandwich Ru(ii) precatalysts for transfer hydrogenation

Abstract

Diffusion NMR measurements and ONIOM (B3PW91:UFF) calculations show that amino amidate and acidate half-sandwich Ru(II) precatalysts for transfer hydrogenation have a remarkable tendency to form dimers and even larger aggregates in several solvents, including isopropanol, that is, the solvent used in the catalysis reaction.
