Precatalysts tested and diverse catalysts derived from 1a. (a) Hydrogenation of 3a using different Ru-complexes 1a–f and 2a ([Ru]0 = 3.3 mM) as precatalysts. (b) Major resting states of catalysts. Calculated exact masses: I C1 –I C3 (519.1626), I C -d 2 (521.1752), I D (534.2661), I E (429.1603) and I E -d 16 (445.2608).
