Water-soluble trialkylphosphine-ruthenium(II) complexes as efficient catalysts for hydrogenation of supercritical carbon dioxide
A water-soluble ruthenium(II) complex bearing tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine, RuCl2[PH(CH2OH)(2)](2)[-P(CH2OH)(3)](2), is highly effective for the catalytic hydrogenation of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) under scCO(2)-H2O multi-phasic conditions.
