Hydrogen and methanol activation by some tertiary phosphine ruthenium complexes

The previously known complexes, RU₂H₄Cl₂(PR₃)₄, have now been correctly reformulated as the η²-H₂ species (η²-H₂)(PR₃)₂Ru(μ-Cl)₂(μ-H)RuH(PR₃)₂ (R = Ph, p-tol), 1a and 1b, and it is confirmed that in solution they are dimeric and undergo no ligand dissociation. Also, a new analogue of complexes of ty...
