The reaction of [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with K[NO a-b] (NO- = 2-picolinate, a or 2-quinaldinate, b) gave neutral [(p-cymene)RuCl(NOa-b)] (1a-b), complexes which were treated with pyridine-based meridional triamine ligands (′NNN ′) to create complexes of the type [RuCl(NOa-b) (′NNN′)] (2a: ′N = Nd, NOa- = 2-picolinato; 2b: ′N = Nd, NOb- = 2-quinaldinato; 3a: ′N = Nb, NOa- = 2-picolinato; 3b: ′N = Nb, NOb- = 2-quinaldinato; 4a: ′N = Np, NOa- = 2-picolinato; 4b: ′N = Np, NOb- = 2-quinaldinato). The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy and, 1b was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexes 1-4 have been employed as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of acetophenone derivatives to secondary alcohols in the presence of KOH using 2-propanol as a hydrogen source at 82 °C. The highest catalytic activity was obtained with 3a.
