Popis: Hydrogenolysis of the scorpionate-supported calcium benzyl complex [(TpAd,iPr)Ca(p-CH2C6H4-Me)(THP)] (TpAd,iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate, THP = tetrahydropyran) (2-THP) afforded the mononuclear calcium hydrido complex [(TpAd,iPr)Ca(H)(THP)] (3). Under mild conditions (40 °C, 10 atm H2, 5 mol% cat.), complex 3 effectively catalyzed the hydrogenation of a variety of alkenes, including activated alkenes, semi-activated alkenes, non-activated terminal and internal alkenes. Mononuclear calcium unsubstituted alkyl complex [(TpAd,iPr)Ca{(CH2)4Ph}(THP)] (6), proposed as the catalytic hydrogenation intermediate, was isolated and structurally characterized.
