摘要

A secondary phosphine oxide-phosphine mixed tridentate ligand and its ruthenium complex have been developed. This complex shows excellent catalytic activity for carbonyl reduction, especially for the reduction of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. The turnover number and selectivity can reach up to 36500 and 99%, respectively. Control experiments and DFT calculations supported an outer-sphere mechanism during the hydrogenation reaction.
