Molecular hydrogen and water activation by transition metal frustrated Lewis pairs containing ruthenium or osmium components: catalytic hydrogenation assays† The transition metal frustrated Lewis pair compounds [(Cym)M(κ3S,P,N-HL1)][SbF6] (Cym = η6-p-MeC6H4iPr; H2L1 = N-(p-tolyl)-N′-(2-diphenylphosphanoethyl)thiourea; M = Ru (5), Os (6)) have been prepared from the corresponding dimer [{(Cym)MCl}2(μ-Cl)2] and H2L1 by successive chloride abstraction with NaSbF6 and AgSbF6 and NH deprotonation...
