All synthesised compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and the molecular structure of 2a was determined by X-ray crystallography. All complexes have been tested as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones, showing excellent activity in this reaction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRuthenium ComplexesAsymmetric HydrogenationStereodirecting LigandsEfficient CatalystsIridium ComplexesAlpha-ArylationAryl ChloridesPalladiumHydrosilylationReactivityPreparation of a series of Ru(II) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketonesArticle418233023392218297310.1039/c1dt11203a2-s2.0-84857098285Q1WOS:000300186100016Q1
