Abstract

Abstract The dianion, [H2Ru4(CO)12]2−, showed excellent catalytic activity for the reduction of nitrobenzene, but not of benzaldehyde. In the presence of benzaldehyde under H2 pressure, the dianion was converted to a new species of good catalytic activity, which is closely similar to a complex obtained from the reaction of [H2Ru6(CO)18] with DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene).
