G. S. R SUBBA RAO, R R IYENGAR, R SIVARAMAKRISHNAN

Abstract


The activation of hydrogen using soluble catalysts has gained importance because of their specificity and selectivity. Most of the soluble catalysts of importance are the derivatives of  rhodium, iridium,ruthenium, cobalt and titanium and the like. The advantages of pentacyanocobaltate(II) anion as a soluble catalyst, the mechanism of addition, its scope and limitations are reviewed here.

Keywords


Homogenous hydrogenation, pentacyanocobaltate(II) anion, a, $-unsaturated ketones,dienes.
