Abstract
Ru(CO) 2(MeCOO) 2(PBU 3) 2, Ru 2(CO) 4(MeCOO) 2(PBu 3) 2, Ru 4(CO) 8(MeCOO) 4(PBu 3) 2, and [Ru 2(CO) 4(MeCOO) 2] n react, in the presence of CO, with molecular hydrogen, losing the carboxylato ligand while the metal is reduced to Ru(O). Evidence is given of the involvement of ruthenium hydrides in this reaction. The role of the above precursors in the catalytic cycle of the hydroformylation of olefins is discussed.
