Abstract:
New complexes of saline type, which are represented by the formula: (Me Lm L''n Aa) Xx WHEREIN, Me represents Rh, Ir, Ru, Pd or Pt; L, L'' represent primary or secondary olefin, linear, branched or cyclic, having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and may be substituted by functional unsaturated compounds such as unsaturated nitriles; A is a neutral ligand such as a nitrile, phosphine, phosphite, arsine or stibine; X is an anion such as BF4 , PF6 , ClO4 or NO3 ; m + n equals 1, 2 or 3; a is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and x is 1 or 2, are useful as catalysts in olefin reactions such as the hydrogenation of olefins at 50*-80* C., in the oligomerization or dimerization or codimerization of olefins and in the hydration of olefins by reaction with water in alcohol solvents.
Abstract:
THERE ARE PROVIDED NOVEL COMPLEX COMPOUNDS OF THE GENERAL FORMULA
(L)N-ME-ME-(L)N
WHEREIN ME IS IR, AND L IS A COMPLEXING COMPOUND SELECTED FROM PHOSPHINES. THE NEW COMPLEXES ARE PREPARED BY TRANSFORMING A COMPOUND OF IRIDIUM INTO AT LEAST A PARTIAL HYDRIDE, THEN DEHYDROGENATING THIS IN THE PRESENCE OF A HYDROGEN ACCEPTOR AND OF A COMPLEXING AGENT. THE NEW COMPLEX COMPOUNDS HAVE CATALYTIC ACTIVITY, E.G., IN THE TRANSFER OF HYDROGEN IN UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS.
Abstract:
1. A PROCESS FOR TRANSFORMING AN OLEFINIC COMPOUND INTO A MIXTURE OF COMPOUNDS WHICH COMPRISE A COMPOUND THAT IS THE CORRESPONDING SATURATED HYDROCARBON AND A COMPOUND THAT IS THE CORRESPONDING DIOLEFIN, SAID PROCESS COMPRISING PASSING AN OLEFIN OVER (IR(P(C6H5)3)2)2, SAID PROCESS BEING CARRIED OUT AT A PRESSURE EQUAL TO OR HIGHER THAN ATOMSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Abstract:
1343470 Phosphorus arsenic and antimony complexes containing metals SNAM PROGETTI SpA 8 Oct 1971 [13 Oct 1970] 47065/71 Heading C1A [Also in Division C2] Complexes of formula I where M is a Group VIII metal, L is phosphine, stibine or arsine, or an optionally halogenated alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl derivative thereof and n is 2, 3 or 4, may be prepared by (a) dehydrogenating a hydride of a complex of the Group VIII metal and the complexing agent L by reaction with a hydrogen acceptor, (b) reacting a hydride of the Group VIII metal, which is optionally complexed with a complexing agent other than L, with a complexing agent L and a hydrogen acceptor. In process (a) the starting complex may be prepared by reacting L with (i) a hydride of the Group VIII metal, (ii) a complex of a hydride of the Group VIII metal with a complexing agent other than L or (iii) a complex of an inorganic salt of M, which is optionally a partial hydride, and a hydride. In process (b) the Group VIII metal starting material may be prepared by reacting a hydride with an inorganic salt of the metal or with a complex of such a salt with a complexing agent other than L. The hydrogen acceptor may be an olefin of formula III where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen, alkyl or aryl.
