Synthesis and hydrogenation of iridium complexes with bidentate and water-soluble phosphine ligands: developing novel water-soluble catalysts for hydrogenation of unsaturates

The hydrogenation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds catalyzed by transition metal hydrido complexes has received considerable attention in the literature. Environmental interests have placed considerable emphasis on switching these processes into aqueous media. The dimeric complex [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ (COD...
