A. Caballero et al., 3-CENTER DIHYDROGEN BOND WITH FAST INTERCHANGE BETWEEN PROTON AND HYDRIDE - A VERY ACTIVE CATALYST FOR D-H-2 EXCHANGE(), Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1879-1880
Protonation of a ruthenium hydride containing the hemilabile ligand PP
h(2)py gave a complex with a three-centre dihydrogen bond (Ru-H...H-Py
-2), and this system exhibits a fast proton/hydride interchange and is
a very active catalyst for D+-H-2 exchange.
