Abstract

Bimetallic Ru–Ir/Rh complexes with the Ru-based metalloligand cis-(bpy)₂Ru(PPh₂)₂ (RuP₂) serve as catalysts for the selective reduction of allyl alcohol to propylene, employing H₂ gas or an electrochemical setup. Metal–metal bonded key π-allyl intermediates [(RuP₂)M(η³-C₃H₅)]²⁺ (M = Ir, Rh) are identified, advancing the understanding of the catalytic processes.
