Abstract
High-valent metal complexes are viable candidates for hydrogenation catalysts: The domain of catalytic hydrogenation is traditionally dominated by low-valent metals; however, the heterolytic bond-splitting mechanism does not require an electron-rich metal. Here we report a structurally well-defined ruthenium(IV) catalyst capable of hydrogen activation at room temperature and the efficient hydrogenation of carbonyl and carboxyl compounds under molecular hydrogen. More information can be found in the Research Article by D. Gelman and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202201098). Artwork: Shrouq Mujahed.
