Tin is widely used as catalyst modifier to enhance the activity and selectivity of transition metal catalysts. Platinum group metal derived bimetallic (platinum group metal-tin) clusters are used as precursors to nanoscale catalysts which are proven to be more effective than their monometallic counterparts. Ruthenium is a platinum group metal that is known for its performance in catalytic hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions. Reacting ruthenium clusters with either HSnPh3 or H2SnPh2 yields a fairly large number of new bimetallic ruthenium-tin clusters that could be precursors to catalysts that are superior to those available at the moment.
