Formic Acid As a Hydrogen Storage Medium: Ruthenium-Catalyzed Generation of Hydrogen from Formic Acid in Emulsions
摘要:
Formic acid is decomposed to H-2 and CO2 in the presence of RuCl3 and triphenylphosphines in an emulsion. In situ formed ruthenium carbonyls, such as [Ru(HCO2)(2)(CO)(2)(PPh3)(2)] (1), [Ru(CO)(3)(PPh3)(2)] (2), and [Ru-2(HCO2)(2)(CO)(4)(PPh3)(2)] (3), and a large cluster, involving a Ru-12 core, were identified and structurally characterized from the reaction mixtures. The catalytic activity of the mono and binuclear complexes was also investigated and it was found that [Ru-2(HCO2)(2)(CO)(4)(PPh3)(2)] (3) shows high stability even at elevated temperatures and pressures and its activity is 1 order of magnitude lower than those measured for the mononuclear complexes. It was also attempted to use [Ru-(HCO2)(2)(CO)(2)(PPh3)(2)] (1) as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid under neutral conditions. Although the reduction of CO2 did not take place, the conversion of [Ru(HCO2)(2)(CO)(2)(PPh3)(2)] (1) to an unexpected carbonate, [Ru(CO3)(CO)(2)(PPh3)(2)]center dot H2O was observed.
Stereoselective synthesis of β-ketoesters from prop-2-yn-1-ols
摘要:
The activation of allylic prop-2-yn-1-ols by the [Ru(mu-O2CH)(CO)(2)(PPh3)](2) catalyst in the presence of carboxylic acids leads to unsaturated beta-ketoesters in one step. The utilization of optically active prop-2-yn-1-ols provides a new stereoselective access to optically active beta-ketoesters with retention of configuration at the propargylic carbon.

a mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide may be catalyzed by a number of Ru(III) and Ru(II) complexes with high efficiency at ca. 120 °C. Evidence that suggests that the precatalyst may in each case be a common ruthenium dimer has been obtained through 1H NMR and X-ray crystallographic studies of the complexes formed in situ and of analysis of the gases generated in the reaction using FTIR and gas

A new general method of preparation of dinuclear thiolate-bridged ruthenium(I) complexes is reported. Compounds of the type RU(2)(CO)(4)(mu(2)-S-2(CH2)(n))(PPh(3))(2) (n = 2 and 3) (I) and Ru-2(CO)(4)(mu-SR()2)(PPh(3))(2) (II) were formed by reacting RU(2)(CO)(4)(mu-O2CH)(2)(PPh(3))(2) with an excess of dithiol or thiol in good yields, Different structural isomers of Ru-2(CO)(4)(mu-SR)(2)(PPh(3))(2) (II) thiolate complexes were found which were separated by chromatography on a silica column. The X-ray structure of the compound RU(2)(CO)(4)(mu-S-2(CH2)(3))(PPh(3))(2) shows that the dithiolate ligand bridges symmetrically two Ru(CO)(2)(PPh(3))(2) fragments. The short Ru-Ru distance agrees with a metal-metal bond and the PPh(3) ligands are nearly trans to the Ru-Ru bond.
