Recent legislation directed at reducing sulfur levels in petroleum-based fuels has led to
numerous studies of commercial hydrotreating, the process whereby sulfur, nitrogen, and …

In the past few decades, homogeneous catalysis of arene and heteroarene reduction has
grown into a mature research field. In particular, hydrogenation of heteroaromatic systems …

We report the arene hydrogenation of ethers, amides, and esters at room temperature and
low hydrogen pressure, starting from [(CAAC) Rh (COD) Cl](CAAC= cyclic alkyl amino …

In this review are discussed the known modes of thiophene coordination η1 (S), η2, η4 and
η5) in organometallic complexes. Their structures, bonding and stabilities are related to the …

The role of transition metal complexes as catalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation
reactions has been extensively investigated during the last few decades. This paper reviews …

In this review are discussed the known hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions of
thiophenic molecules catalysed by soluble metal complexes. Homogeneous desulfurization …

The catalytic activity of the zwitterionic complex [(sulphos) Rh (cod)] for the hydrogenation
and hydrogenolysis reactions of benzo [b] thiophene (BT) has been studied in either …

The thermally generated 16-electron fragment [(triphos) RhH] reacts with benzo [¿>]
thíophene (BT) by C—S bond scission to ultimately yield the 2-vinylthiophenolate complex …

Diphenyl-2-thienylphosphine, Ph2PC4H3S (1), reacts with [Ru3 (CO) 12] in refluxing
toluene to give the compound [Ru3 (μ2-H)(μ3-Ph2PC4H2S)(CO) 9](2)(59%), cyclometalated …

The ruthenium (II) tris-acetonitrile complex [(triphos) Ru (MeCN) 3] BPh4 (1) is an extremely
efficient catalyst precursor for the regioselective hydrogenation of benzo [b] thiophene (BT) …
