Abstract: Three stable 4-substituted pyridine-based ruthenium(Ⅱ)complexes[RuCl2(PPh3)L](L=4-R-2,6-bis (diethylaminomethylene)pyridine,R=Br,H or allyloxy)were synthesized.The catalytic activities of the complexes toward transfer hydrogenation from alcohols to ketones were investigated.The electronic effects of the para-substituent in the pyridyl ring were probed and we found that the electron-donating group increased the catalytic activity.The result suggests that an electron-donating group is probably preferential for linking the catalytic ruthenium complex and the chemically inert supporting molecules such as a carbosilane dendrimer.

Key words: ruthenium(Ⅱ)complexes, tridentate, transfer hydrogenation, catalyst
