Binuclear ruthenium complexes of fluorous phosphine ligands: Synthesis, properties, and biphasic catalytic activity. Crystal structure of [Ru(μ-O2CMe)(CO)2P(CH2CH2(CF2)5CF3)3]2

Conservative evolution and industrial metabolism in Green Chemistry

“…The long-term stability of the catalyst was found to be better than that of the classical Rh/PPh 3 catalyst, representing the first system which could be used for the hydroformylation of both low-and high-molecular weight olefins providing facile catalyst separation for both low and high molecular weight aldehydes. 94 After the successful introduction of "fluorous catalysis" several transition metal complexes bearing fluorous ligands were synthesized in collaboration with Gladysz 98 fluorous porphyrins with Co, Fe, and Mn metal centers, 99 and fluorous cyclopentadienyl complexes with Mn, Re, Fe, and Co metal centers. 100 Since 1994, fluorous chemistry has become a well-established, individual area of chemistry, providing a complementary approach to other biphasic systems.…”

Synthesis and applications of fluorous phosphines

“…40 The same group has made a bi-nuclear ruthenium complex with fluorous phosphine 1b. 41 This ruthenium complex has been shown to be a good hydrogenation catalyst, converting acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol in benzotrifluoride at an elevated temperature.…”

Fluorous Organometallic Chemistry

“…Carbonyl displacement from tungsten hexacarbonyl with perfluoroalkylated phosphines affords [W (CO) 5 L] {L¼P(C 6 H 4 -4-C 2 H 4 C 8 F 17 ) 3 , P(C 2 H 4 C 6 F 13 ) 3 }, the former of which has been structurally characterised [64]. Using the same ligands, this group has also prepared some acetate-bridged ruthenium dimers [Ru(μ-O 2 CCH 3 )(CO)L] 2 , again using an established organometallic approach, for which the trialkylphosphine complex was the subject of a structural characterisation [65]. The only examples of metal carbonyl clusters derivatised with fluorous ligands were reported in 2010 [66].…”
