New PNHN Pincer-Type Ligands and Their Complexes for Transfer Hydrogenation

The ligand tBu2PC2H4NHCH2Py (PNHN) was synthesized starting from 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 2-chloroethanamine. Initial attempts for coordination of the PNHN ligand to a metal center was performed using [IrCl(COE)2]2, IrCl3·3H2O, [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and RuCl2(PPh3)3. The reaction between the PNHN l...
