The dimer Na[{O3S(C6H4)CH2C(CH2PPh2)(3)Ru}(2)(mu-Cl)(3)] . 3H(2)O has been
synthesized by the reaction of the tripodal Ligand NaO3S(C6H4)CH2C(CH2PPh2)
(3) with the ruthenium complex [RuCl2(DMSO)(4)]. The dimeric complex is an
effective catalyst precursor for the liquid-biphase hydrogenation of the do
uble bond in various alkenes (l-hexene, 1-decene, allylbenzene, styrene) as
well as the heteroaromatic ring in benzo[b]thiophene and quinoline. All th
e metal remains in the polar phase at the end of the catalytic reactions. (
