Catalytic dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane (NH3·BH 3, AB) and dimethylamine borane (NHMe2·BH 3, DMAB) by the PdII complex [(tBuPCP)Pd(H 2O)]PF6 [tBuPCP = 2,6-C6H 3(CH2PtBu2)2] leads to oligomerization and formation of spent fuels of general formula cyclo-[BH 2-NR2]n (n = 2,3; R = H, Me) as reaction byproducts, while one equivalent of H2 is...

Metal complexes incorporating proton-responsive ligands have been proved to be superior catalysts in reactions involving the H2 molecule. In this contribution, a series of IrIII complexes based on lutidine-derived CNNH pincers containing N-heterocyclic carbene and secondary amino NHR [R = Ph (4a), tBu (4b), benzyl (4c)] donors as flanking...
