Abstract

The synthesis of ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) using secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs) as ligands is reported. These easily accessible ligands allow the formation of small nanoparticles in the size range of 1–2 nm which display a high efficiency for hydrogenation of aromatics with TOFs up to 2700 mol h−1.
