Asymmetric Hydrogenation and Catalysis

Abstract Similarities and contrasts in the descriptive chemistry of aqua and ammine complexes of mthenium are discussed. The reactivities of the two classes of coordination compounds are compared; both show a remarkable tendency to form complexes with π-accepting ligands, including alkenes and alkynes. The exploitation of Ru(H2O)6 2+ as a versatile preparative reagent is demonstrated.
