An iridium–SPO complex as bifunctional catalyst for the highly selective hydrogenation of aldehydes
A secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) ligand (tert-butyl(phenyl)phosphine oxide) was employed to generate an Ir–SPO complex which shows a particular ability to activate dihydrogen under mild conditions without the help of an external base or additive. Such an iridium (I) complex serves as a precursor fo...
