Abstract
Arene hydrogenation by homogeneous catalysts is a highly controversial area of research, with many of the mononuclear complexes shown to catalyse the reaction, being found to be pre-catalysts to nanoparticles, on closer examination. The solvent properties of ionic liquids, i.e., low nucleophilicity and high polarity, make them ideal, at least in principal, for homogeneous arene hydrogenation catalysts. In this paper, we described our attempts to prepare and study such systems, using either simple metal halides or ruthenium complexes including trinuclear ruthenium clusters as catalyst precursors.
