The different types of acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation (AAD) reactions are discussed,
followed by the catalysts and mechanisms involved. Special emphasis is put on the common …

Organic transformations catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl complexes of Group 9 metals (cobalt,
rhodium and iridium) are the key steps of the total synthesis of various natural products …

A dicationic iridium complex bearing a bidentate ligand that comprises N-heterocyclic
carbene and α-hydroxypyridine moieties has been designed and synthesized. The complex …

Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems are an excellent alternative to pressurized
gas and liquid hydrogen storage technologies due to their high volumetric storage …

A new family of protic NHC Ru complexes ligated with a phosphine-tethered imidazole
moiety were prepared, which can act as excellent catalysts for acceptorless …

In this paper, development and application of iridium catalysts for dehydrogenative reactions
including (1) dehydrogenative oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds,(2) hydrogen …

Hydrogenation of ketones, aldehydes, and imines plays an important role in organic
synthesis due to the ubiquity of alcohols and amines in complex molecules. The highly …

Molecular inorganic catalysts (MICs) tend to have solvent-exposed metal centers that lack
substrate specificity and are easily inhibited by biological nucleophiles. Unfortunately, these …

Two types of non-phosphine based manganese (I) complexes, NN-manganese carbonyl
complexes (Mn1–Mn5) and NNN/S-pincer complexes (Mn6–Mn10), have been assessed as …

Four types of ruthenium (II) complexes,[fac-PNN] RuH (PPh3)(CO)(A),[fac-PNHN] RuH (η1-
BH4)(CO)(B),[fac-PNHN] RuCl2 (PPh3)(C) and [fac-PNHN] RuH (η1-BH4)(PPh3)(D)(where …
