22. Substrate inhibition as the cause for the observed induction period can be ruled out. The induction periods also cannot be caused by neglecting to add additional hydrogen. For a substrate/precatalyst ratio of 100, there is an error of 2% expected for the complete hydrogenation of the olefin to the saturated product distributed over the entire gas uptake curve.

These are the results of the various induction periods for the diastereomeric COD employed catalysts, so that the end effect is that the hydrogenation at first runs via a diastereomeric catalyst.

91. It must be mentioned here that the NBD complexes of ligands with cyclohexyl instead of phenyl residues (DCPB 1,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane, DCPE 1,2 bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) are still the more reactive species but also exhibit greater distortions from the square-planar arrangement (R. Kempe, A. Spannenberg, D. Heller, Z. Kristallogr. (in press). R. Kempe, A. Spannenberg, H.-J. Drexler, D. Heller, Z. Kristallogr. (in press)). The role of the cyclohexyl ligand in such situations is still unexplored.

96. The problem of induction periods is by no means restricted to asymmetric hydrogenation, but is a general phenomenon in homogeneous catalysis whenever precatalysts are used. This has been shown for the photocatalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of alkynes with nitriles, for instance: B. Heller, D. Heller, G. Oehme, J. Mol. Catal. A 110 (1996) 211.
