Journal ArticleDOI
Coordination, oligomerisation and transfer hydrogenation of acetylenes by some ruthenium and osmium carboxylates: Crystal and molecular structures of bis(trifluoroacetato)carbonyl-(methanol) bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) and (1,4-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yn-2-yl)trifluoroacetato-(carbonyl) bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II)
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the coordinated methanol is involved in H-bonding with the monodentate trifluoroacetate ligand and showed that the coordination of the methanoline-adduct intermediate has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexes of the platinum metals. Part V. Perfluorocarboxylato-derivatives
TL;DR: In this article, a number of perfluorocarboxylic acid derivatives were derived from RFCO2H (RF= CF3, C2F5, or C6F5) or low-oxidation-state triphenylphosphine complexes of the platinum-group metals.

Journal ArticleDOI
Coordination, Oligomerisation and Transfer Hydrogenation of Acetylenes by Some Ruthenium and Osmium Carboxylato Complexes: Crystal and Molecular Structure of (1,4-Diphenylbut-1-en-3-yn-2-yl)trifluoroacetato(carbonyl) bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II)
TL;DR: The complexes (MH(O2CCF3) (CO) (PPh3)2] and M(O 2CCF 3 (CO)(PPh 3) 2] (M = Ru or Os) react with terminal and internal acetylenes to afford oligomerization and hydrogenation products, respectively, together with vinylic complexes, including the ruthenium species [Ru(C4HPh2), including the R1,4-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yn-2-yl ligand RE
