Abstract:The reaction of N,N‐bis(2‐(diisopropylphosphaneyl)ethyl)prop‐2‐yn‐1‐amine 1 with [Ru(CO)ClH(PPh3)3] leads to the formation of a new class of cyclometallated PNPC pincer complexes. Several examples of this class of compounds are synthesized and characterized. They, specifically complexes 2 and 3, show good to excellent activity and selectivity in additive‐free formic acid dehydrogenation, and transfer (de)hydrogenation reactions of different functional groups (ketone, alkyne, alcohol).

A comparison of state-of-the-art catalysts for low temperature aqueous phase reforming (APR) of methanol is presented. To facilitate future applications, catalyst tests under two standardized sets of reaction conditions are proposed.
