Reduction of ketones catalyzed by rhodium complexes

Structure of the binuclear rhodium(II) complex dichloro-di-μ-formato-bis(1,10-phenanthroline)dirhodium(II)

“…Such complexes, as noted in our previous paper (Pasternak, Lancman & Pruchnik, 1985) are precursors of very active ketone hydrogenation catalysts.…”

Interaction of [Rh2(O2CCH3)4(H2O)2] and [Rh2(O2CCH(OH)Ph)2(phen)2(H2O)2](O2C‐CH(OH)Ph)2 With Sulfhydryl Compounds and Ceruloplasmin

“…Dimeric rhodium(II) complexes have attracted considerable interest due to their interesting structure and reactivity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], catalytic properties [1][2][3]5,[11][12][13] and anticancer activity [1][2][3]5,10,[14][15][16][17][18][19]. The structure, reactivity, catalytic properties and cytostatic activity of [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…The structure, reactivity, catalytic properties and cytostatic activity of [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Rhodium(II) carboxylato complexes belong to the most promising platinum metals compounds having anticancer and biological activity [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Dimeric rhodium(II) complexes containing bridging mandelate ligands

“…Our interests were based on the r e h r t e d effectiveness of Rh2(02CR)4 (R = CH3, C3H7) or Rh2(02CR)2(dipy)2C12 species for catalytic hydrogenation of olefins (3) and ketones (4), and cyclopropanation of substituted ethylenes (5,6). B y using chiral carboxylates, w e hope to develop catalytic systems for asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins and ketones, as well as for asymmetric cyclopropanation.…”
