The catalytic activity of Ru-3(CO)(9) L(3) (L = arylphosphine) in the
WGSR and in the reduction of nitro derivatives to amines is studied. T
he same complex is supported in polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (
PSDVB) and the catalytic activity of this heterogeneous material on th
e fore mentioned reactions is herein studied. In the same way, Ru-3(CO
)(12) is reacted with PSDVB, previously functionalized with 1,2-ethyle
nediamine, giving an active catalyst for these reactions.
