Abstract
AbstractTo elucidate the mode of hydrogen–hydrogen bond cleavage at transition metal sites that cooperate with a heteroatom, the hydrogenation of trinuclear μ3‐imido complex (Cp*Ru)3(μ3‐NH)(μ‐H)3 (Cp* = η5‐C5Me5) (1) with deuterium was carried out. The percentage of deuterium content in the amido ligand of (Cp*Ru)3(μ‐NH2)(μ‐H)4 (2), which was generated as an intermediate in the reaction of 1 with dihydrogen, proved that hydrogenation of 1 to 2 proceeded through homolytic cleavage of dihydrogen.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
