Synthesis and characterization of new ruthenium(III) complexes derived from fluoreneamine-based Schiff base ligands and their catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Carboxamide carbonyl-ruthenium(ii) complexes: detailed structural and mechanistic studies in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones

“…In comparison to literature reports, the catalytic activities achieved by Ru1-Ru4 fall within the range of other related Ru(II)-PPh 3 complexes of TOF up to 1.0 Â 10 2 h À1 . [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] However, the catalytic activities of complexes Ru1-Ru4 are lower compared to some of the highly active ruthenium(II) complexes where the TOFs between 1.0 Â 10 4 -1.0 Â 10 5 h À1 were achieved. 58-61 2.3.4 Investigation of TH reactions using different ketone substrates.…”
