Hydride transfer catalysis is shown to be enabled by the nonspectator reactivity of a
transition metal-bound low-symmetry tricoordinate phosphorus ligand. Complex 1·[Ru]+ …

We report the two-electron, one-proton mechanism of cobalt hydride formation for the
conversion of [CoIIICp (PPh2NBn2)(CH3CN)] 2+ to [HCoIIICp (PPh2NBn2)]+. This complex …

The mechanism of the quinoline transfer hydrogenation (TH) by aqueous HCOOH under the
action of [Cp* Co (quinNH2) I]+(A*; quinNH2= 8-aminoquinoline) has been investigated by a …

Reminiscent to nature's NAD+/NADH hydride storage and transfer system, we demonstrate
here that an iridium complex containing a pyridinium ligand, IrPYE+, is capable of reversibly …

Electronic tuning of metal hydrides enables precise control over potentials, mechanisms,
selectivity, and rates of electrocatalytic reactions by regulating bond dissociation free …

Exploring eco-friendly and cost-effective strategies for structure engineering at the
nanoscale is important for boosting heterogeneous catalysis but still under a long-standing …

A class of electrochemical mediators is described for electrocatalytic oxidation reactions that
are catalyzed by metal hydrides. The octahedral ruthenium complex [Ru (acac) 2 …

Herein we report a nickel-catalyzed sp3 C–H alkylation protocol of 9H-fluorene using cheap
and abundant alcohols as the source of alkyl groups. The developed method spans a host of …

In the borrowing hydrogen catalysis, hydrogenation of an in situ generated imine or olefinic
bond is a crucial step. There is a growing body of literature in olefinic hydrogenation …

The transfer of multiple electrons and protons is of crucial importance in many reactions
relevant in biology and chemistry. Natural redox-active cofactors are capable of storing and …
