The N-heterocyclic carbene C3H2N2(CH2CH2OMe)(2) (1; IOMe) reacts with RuHCl(PPh3)(3) to give RuClH(IOMe)(PPh3)(2) (2), which reacts further with SIMes to give the cis-bis-mixed-carbene complex RuClH(IOMe)-(SIMes)(PPh3) (3). This species has been shown to be a highly effective hydrogenation catalyst that tolerates the presence of a wide range of functional and donor groups.
