Ruthenium Complexes with Cooperative PNP Ligands: Bifunctional Catalysts for the Dehydrogenation of Ammonia–Borane

Abstract

G“Ru”vy reactivity: The new ruthenium(II) complex having cooperative PNP enamido ligand A reversibly activates two equivalents H2 under reversible hydrogenation of amido (B) and amino (C) complexes. B exhibits the highest reported activities in the dehydrocoupling of ammonia–borane.
