Formic acid dehydrogenation by [Ru(η<sup>6</sup>-benzene)(L)Cl] catalysts: L = 2-methylquinolin-8-olate and quinolin-8-olate
Aditi Vatsa, Sumanta Kumar Padhi
Abstract
Two Ru-arene-based catalysts are employed for the dehydrogenation of formic acid. The mechanism has also been interpreted. The catalytic activity of the complexes was also compared with previously reported ruthenium arene complexes using manometry.
