Abstract
The properties of the ruthenium(II) phosphine complexes [Ru(dppe)(2)(OTs)(2 )] and [Ru{PhP(CH2CH2CH2PPh2)(2)}(OTs)(2)] as catalysts of alternating copo lymerization of ethylene and carbon monoxide were studied. The catalytic ac tivity of these complexes in the absence of cocatalysts is low, but it is s ubstantially increased in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid or 1,4-benzo quinone. These compounds are the first ruthenium complexes which catalyze c opolymerization of ethylene and CO.
