Abstract
Triruthenium dodecacarbonyl was reacted with the non chiral ligand PSSP as well as chiral ferrocenyl diphosphines of the Josiphos (J008, J006 and J015) and Walphos (W009) families to give [Ru3(CO)10(µ-1,2-P-P)], (P-P = W009 1, J008 2, J006 3, J015 4 and PSSP 5. The X-ray structure of 3 shows that a Ru-Ru edge is bridged by a diphosphine ligand in an equatorial coordination mode. The corresponding clusters with the ligand in a chelating coordination mode were also obtained as minor products. The tetraruthenium cluster [H2Ru4(CO)13] was reacted with chiral diphosphine ligands of the Josiphos family (J007 and J015). Four products were isolated: [H2Ru4(CO)11(µ-1,2-J007)] 6 and [H2Ru4(CO)11(µ-1,2-J015)] 7, in which the diphosphine coordinates... (More)

Clusters 6 and 7 were found to give high conversion and good enantiomeric excess for the hydrogenation of tiglic acid. IR spectroscopy indicates that 6 is a precursor to the active catalyst, while 8 may be an active catalyst. (Less)
