PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new complex compound that can be used as a catalyst for an organic synthesis reaction and in particular a surfactant type catalyst having both functions of catalytic ability and surface active ability.SOLUTION: A complex compound comprises a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic carbene ligand represented by formula (A) and including at least one metal atom selected from palladium, silver, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium as a central metal. (Rrepresents a divalent hydrocarbon group that has 2-20 carbon atoms and may include at least one atom selected from N, O, S and halogen atoms; Rrepresents a hydrocarbon group having 6-70 carbon atoms and including a polyoxyalkylene group and/or a polyglyceryl group having a polymerization number of 2-20 or a hydrocarbon group having 2-20 carbon atoms and including at least one ionic functional group selected from a sulfonic acid group, a carboxyl group, an ammonium group, or their salts; and Rrepresents a hydrocarbon group having 2-20 carbon atoms)SELECTED DRAWING: None |
