Mechanisms of Platinum Group Metal Catalysis Investigated by Experimental and Theoretical Methods

The results of kinetic isotope determination and computational studies on Noyori-type catalytic systems for the hydrogenation of ketones are presented. The catalysts examined include RuH2(NHCMe2CMe2NH2)(R-binap) and RuH(NHCMe2CMe2NH2)(PPh3)2. These complexes are active catalysts for ketone hydroge...
