Abstract:
Organic compounds are hydrogenated in the presence of certain bis(pentadienyl) divalent Group IV metal complexes having π-bound, neutral, conjugated diene ligands. These complexes are effective hydrogenation catalysts for polymers containing ethylenic unsaturation. They further provide for selective hydrogenation of ethylenic unsaturation sites in the presence of aromatic groups.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for prepararing bridged Group 4 metal complexes containing a neutral diene ligand starting from the corresponding novel, metal diene containing complexes by reaction thereof with the divalent derivative of a bridged bidentate ligand compound. The novel, intermediate metal diene complexes, their formation from tetravalent metal salts and an integrated process combining both process steps are claimed.
