Design and Modification of Half-Sandwich Ir(III), Rh(III), and Ru(II) Amino Acid Complexes for Application in Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation Reactions
This dissertation describes the design and synthesis of a series of half-sandwich amino acid complexes of the form), (aa = α-amino carboxylate), and their utility as asymmetric transfer hydrogenation catalysts of ketones. Variation of the metal center, the n-ring, and the aa was used to tune these s...
