The hydrogenation of benzene and other arenes under aqueous‐organic biphasic conditions is evaluated using the ruthenium complexes Ru(η 6 ‐C 10 H 14 )(pta)Cl 2 (pta=1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane), Ru(η 6 ‐C 10 H 14 )(tppts)Cl 2 (tppts=tris‐3‐sulfonatophenylphosphine trisodium salt) and [Ru(η 6 ‐C 10 H 14 )(pta) 2 Cl] + . The active catalysts formed during the hydrogenations correspond to a trinuclear cluster, a colloid and a mononuclear complex, respectively.
