Here, we report the straightforward synthesis of a disulfonate derivative of the complex, which allows to (transfer) (de-)hydrogenate aldehydes and ketones in aqueous solutions. A proof of principle for the recycling of the catalyst is also provided.enChemical communications; 61(1)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/660Synthesis and catalytic testing of the first hydrophilic derivative of Shvo's catalystArticle
