Additionally, all the synthesized Ru(II) complexes were tested as catalysts for the reactions in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of acetophenone derivatives. The results showed that these facile synthesized Ru(II) complexes are efficient catalysts in this reaction (turnover frequency: 1260 h(-1) for 6). (C) 2014 Elsevier B. V.
