Diphenyldiphosphinopropane 4T0, provided with a T0-silyl functionalized (CH2)6-spacer in the symmetric2-position of the C3 bridge, was obtained via an improved synthetic route in high yields, starting from8-chloro-7-chloromethyl-1-octene (1) (Scheme 1). Reaction of 4T0 with trans-RuCl2(NBD)Py2 in CH2Cl2resulted in the formation of the corresponding (diphos)ruthenium(II) complex 5T0 (Scheme 2), which,by treatment with 1,2-diaminopropane, was transformed to the T0-silyl functionalized diamine(diphosphine)ruthenium(II) complex 6T0. In the presence of four different amounts of the co-condensationagent MeSi(OMe)3, 6T0 was subjected to a sol-gel process (Scheme 3). The resulting inorganic/organichybrid materials X1-X4 [6T0/MeSi(OMe)3 = 1:10/15/20/50] were characterized by 31P and 29Si solid-state NMR and EXAFS spectroscopy, as well as by EDX and BET measurements. It was confirmed thatthe integrity of the organometallic centers in X1-X4 is maintained compared to the monomeric counterpart6T0. The materials X1-X4 proved to be catalytically active in the direct hydrogenation of the modelsubstrate trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one. With a conversion rate of 100% and a selectivity to the alcoholA (Scheme 4) of approximately 91%, the interphase catalyst X1 showed the best performance. It couldbe recovered eight times without detectable leaching and remarkable deactivation. The catalytic activitiesof X1 and monomeric 6T0 were compared with each other.
