Photoactivation of Organometallic Catalysts.

Abstract

Photochemistry offers a technique to synthesize unique catalysts, control catalytic reactions, and perturb and better understand conventional catalytic cycles. Recent studies in the author's laboratory concerning photoinduced catalysis using mono-, di-, and trinuclear organometallic catalyst precursors are summarized. Specific systems considered here are (M(CO)nL5-n) (M = Fe, Ru; L = PPh; n = 5,4,3), (M3(CO)12) (M = Fe, Ru, Os), (Ru3(CO)g(PPh3)3), and (Co2(CO)6L2) (L = P(n-Bu)3, P(OPh)3) used to effect catalytic chemistry of 1-pentene including isomerization, hydrogenation, and hydrosilation.
