Synthesis, characterization, biological determination and catalytic evaluation of ruthenium( ii ) complexes bearing benzimidazole-based NHC ligands in transfer hydrogenation catalysis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A new series of ruthenium ( ii ) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes has been synthesized via transmetalation. The obtained complexes were applied to transfer hydrogenation of ketone derivatives.
