Abstract
The complex [RuH2(N2)(PPh3)3] catalyses the thermal production of hydrogen from a range of different alcoholic substrates with rates corresponding to up to >1000 catalyst turnover h–1; the mechanism of the reaction is discussed and possible reasons for the high efficiency of this catalyst including the fact that loss of hydrogen occurs from a molecular hydrogen complex, are explored.Keywords
