82. For a general review on the coordination chemistry and catalytic applications of complex 1, see: Cadierno, V.; Crochet, P.; García- Garrido, S. E.; Gimeno, J. Curr. Org. Chem. 2006, 10, 165-183.
83. The distance and angle values found in 1a for H··· Cl1i and N2-HCl1i of 2.66 Å and 148°, respectively, and in 1b for H···Cl2i and N2-H···Cl2i of 2.46 Å, and 158°, respectively, suggest the presence of an intermolecular weak hydrogen interaction.
84. The analogous ruthenium(II) pyrazole-precatalysts also show a lower catalytic activity (see ref 40).
85. Complex 1a is also active at 35 °C (60 min; 99%).
86. It is interesting to note that the catalyst is scarcely soluble in water, the reaction proceeding in a biphasic manner.
87. Activity probably being dependent on the different miscibility of the alcohols in water.

91. In the cis-hydroxo route of the benzilimidazole complex the acrolein hydrogenation is stepwise, hydride transfer preceding proton transfer. However, the two transition states located have very similar energies and are separated by a very shallow minimum (see ref 92).
