Abstract
A new chelating ruthenium complex was synthesized using an electron-rich olefin and [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and characterized structurally and spectroscopically. The structure of the complex was verified using X-ray crystallography. The complex displayed high activities in transfer hydrogenation.
