Abstract
In this study, we reported the synthesis and structural characterization of a triphos-CoII complex [(κ3-triphos)CoII(CH3CN)2]2+ (1) and a triphos-CoI-H complex [(κ2-triphos)HCoI(CO)2] (4). The facile synthetic pathways from 1 to [(κ3-triphos)CoII(κ2-O2CH)]+ (1') and [(κ3-triphos)CoI(CH3CN)]+ (2), respectively, as well as the interconversion between [(κ3-triphos)CoI(CO)2]+ (3) and 4 have been established. The activation energy barrier, associated with the dehydrogenation of a coordinated formate fragment in 1' yielding the corresponding 2 accompanied by the formation of H2 and CO2, was experimentally determined as 23.9 kcal/mol. With 0.01 mol % loading of 1, a maximum TON ∼ 1735 within 18 h and TOF ∼ 483 h-1 for the first 3 h could be achieved. Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values of 2.25 (kHCOOH/kDCOOH) and 1.36 (kHCOOH/kHCOOD) for the dehydrogenation of formic acid and its deuterated derivatives, respectively, implicate that the H-COOH bond cleavage is likely the rate-determining step. The catalytic mechanism proposed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations coupled with experimental 1H NMR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis unveils two competing pathways for H2 production; specifically, deprotonating a HCOO-H bond by a proposed Co-H intermediate C and homolytic cleavage of the CoII-H moiety of C, presumably via a dimeric Co intermediate D containing a [Co2(μ-H)2]2+ core, to yield the corresponding 2 and H2.

Abstract
Due to the requirement to establish renewable energy sources, formic acid (FA), one of the most probable liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), has received great attention. Catalytic formic acid dehydrogenation in an effective and environmentally friendly manner is still a challenge. The N3Q3 ligand (N3Q3 = N,N-bis(quinolin-8-ylmethyl)quinolin-8-amine) and the square pyramidal [Cu(N3Q3)Cl]Cl complex have been synthesised in this work and characterised using several techniques, such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, EPR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations. This work investigates the dehydrogenation of formic acid using a molecular and homogeneous catalyst [Cu(N3Q3)Cl]Cl in the presence of HCOONa. The mononuclear copper complex exhibits catalytic activity towards the dehydrogenation of formic acid in H2O with the evolution of a 1 : 1 CO2 and H2 mixture. The activation energy of formic acid dehydrogenation was calculated to be Ea = 86 kJ mol-1, based on experiments carried out at various temperatures. The Gibbs free energy was found to be 82 kJ at 298 K for the decomposition of HCOOH. The DFT studies reveal that [Cu(N3Q3)(HCOO-)]+ undergoes an uphill process of rearrangement followed by decarboxylation to generate [Cu(N3Q3)(H-)]+. The initial uphill step for forming a transition state is the rate-determining step. The [Cu(N3Q3)(H-)]+ follows an activated state in the presence of HCOOH to liberate H2 and generate the [Cu(N3Q3)(OH2)]2+.

Abstract
The PPP-ligated iron complexes, cis-(iPrPPRP)FeH2(CO) [iPrPPRP = (o-iPr2PC6H4)2PR (R = H or Me)], catalyze the dehydrogenation of formic acid to carbon dioxide but lose their catalytic activity over time. This study focuses on the analysis of the species formed from the degradation of cis-(iPrPPMeP)FeH2(CO) over its course of catalyzing the dehydrogenation reaction. These degradation products include species both soluble and insoluble in the reaction medium. The soluble component of the decomposed catalyst is a mixture of cis-[(iPrPPMeP)FeH(CO)2][(HCO2)(HCO2H)x], protonated iPrPPMeP, and oxidation products resulting from adventitious O2. The precipitate is solvated Fe(OCHO)2. Further mechanistic investigation suggests that cis-[(iPrPPMeP)FeH(CO)2][(HCO2)(HCO2H)x] displays diminished but measurable catalytic activity, likely through the displacement of a CO ligand by the formate ion. The formation of Fe(OCHO)2 along with the dissociation of iPrPPMeP is responsible for the eventual loss of catalytic activity.

Abstract
The development of alternative clean energy carriers is a key challenge for our society. Carbon-based hydrogen storage materials are well-suited to undergo reversible (de)hydrogenation reactions and the development of catalysts for the individual process steps is crucial. In the current state, noble metal-based catalysts still dominate this field. Here, a system for partially reversible and carbon-neutral hydrogen storage and release is reported. It is based on the dual-functional roles of formamides and uses a small molecule Fe-pincer complex as the catalyst, showing good stability and reusability with high productivity. Starting from formamides, quantitative production of CO-free hydrogen is achieved at high selectivity ( > 99.9%). This system works at modest temperatures of 90 °C, which can be easily supplied by the waste heat from e.g., proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. Employing such system, we achieve >70% H2 evolution efficiency and >99% H2 selectivity in 10 charge-discharge cycles, avoiding undesired carbon emission between cycles.

Abstract
Iron dihydride complexes are key intermediates in many iron-catalyzed reactions. Previous efforts to study molecules of this type have led to the discovery of a remarkably stable cis-FeH2 complex, which is supported by bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]phosphine (iPrPPHP) along with CO. In this work, the hydrogen on the central phosphorus has been replaced with a methyl group, and the corresponding iron carbonyl dichloride, hydrido chloride, and dihydride complexes have been synthesized. The addition of the methyl group favors the anti configuration for the Me-P-Fe-H moiety and the trans geometry for the H-Fe-CO motif, which is distinctively different from the iPrPPHP system. Furthermore, it increases the thermal stability of the dihydride complex, cis-(iPrPPMeP)Fe(CO)H2 (iPrPPMeP = bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]methylphosphine). The variations in stereochemistry and compound stability contribute greatly to the differences between the two PPP systems in reactions with PhCHO, CS2, and HCO2H.

Abstract
Liquid hydrogen carriers featuring high hydrogen content, safety, and hydrogen release on demand have motivated great endeavors for sustainable hydrogen supply. Nonetheless, direct hydrogen release is limited by the ultralow hydrogen evolution rate, while the conventional manner of extra additive and solvent addition for promoting rates greatly deteriorates its hydrogen storage density. Thus, it is still challenging to simultaneously satisfy high-performance hydrogen release and high storage density. Herein, an aerophobicity surface-based gas-liquid interface reaction strategy is proposed, which renders rapid product removal to promote dehydrogenation, fundamentally circumventing the employment of additives and solvents. Accordingly, a hierarchically porous resin-grafted reduced graphene oxide aerogel is designed. It imparts superaerophobic surface to facilitate product detachment from reactive sites, and the structure-oriented interface reaction design provides product diffusion channels and reduced diffusion resistance. As a result, the aerogel harvests a record hydrogen evolution rate (347 mmol g-1 h-1 ) in an ultrahigh-density formic acid of 19.8 g L-1 , around two times the rate promotion and ten times the density improvement compared to the state-of-the-art materials and systems. The strategy presents an approach for the dehydrogenation of liquid hydrogen carriers, e.g., formic acid, formaldehyde, and hydrazine hydrate, concurrently ensuring high-performance hydrogen release and high hydrogen storage density.

Abstract
PNP-pincer-stabilized iron carbonyl dihydride complexes are key intermediates in catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions; however, decomposition through these intermediates has been observed. This inspires the development of a PPP-pincer system that may show improved catalyst stability. In this work, bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]phosphine (or iPrPPHP) is used to react with FeCl2 under a carbon monoxide (CO) atmosphere to yield trans-(iPrPPHP)Fe(CO)Cl2. A subsequent reaction with NaBH4 produces syn/anti-(iPrPPHP)FeH(CO)Cl or cis,anti-(iPrPPHP)Fe(CO)H2, depending on the amount of NaBH4 employed. The cis-dihydride complex shows catalytic activity for the conversion of PhCHO to PhCH2OH (under H2) or PhCO2CH2Ph (under Ar). It also catalyzes the dehydrogenation of PhCH2OH to PhCHO and PhCO2CH2Ph, albeit with limited turnover numbers. A more efficient catalytic process is the dehydrogenation of formic acid to carbon dioxide (CO2), which can operate under additive-free conditions. Mechanistic investigation suggests that the cis-dihydride complex undergoes protonation with formic acid to release H2 while forming anti-(iPrPPHP)FeH(CO)(OCHO)·HCO2H, in which the CO ligand has shifted and the formate is hydrogen-bonded to formic acid. The hydrido formate complex loses CO2 under ambient conditions, completing the catalytic cycle by reforming the cis-dihydride complex.

Abstract
Computational modeling at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-L/def2-TZVP level of theory was used to propose four different iron catalysts whose structures were inspired on the [Fe]-hydrogenase active site: [Fe(MePNNHNP)(acmp)] (C(1), MePNNHNP = 2,6-bis(dimethylphosphine), acmp = acylmethylpyridine), [Fe(CNNHNC)(acmp)] (C(2), CNNHNC = 2,6-bis(methylimidazol-2-ylidene)), [Fe(MePNNNP)(acmp)] (D(1), MePNNNP = 2,6-bis((dimethylphosphine)pyridine)), and [Fe(CNNNC)(acmp)] (D(2), CNNNC = 2,6-bis((methylimidazol-2-ylidene) pyridine)). Through these electronic structure calculations, the catalytic mechanism of the reaction was explored. The intermediates and transition states present along the reaction coordinate were identified and described as to their equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and energies. Quasi-harmonic corrections were performed considering conditions analogous to those used experimentally. To compare the catalytic activities of the studied catalysts, turnover frequencies (TOFs) were calculated. Based on the explored catalytic cycles and TOF values (D(1) > C(1) > D(2) > C(2)), the most suitable iron catalysts are those with tridentate phosphine pincer-type ligands coordinated to the metal center. These systems are new promising iron catalysts to promote the CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid without any use of bases or additives.

Abstract
A novel pincer ligand, iPrPNPhP [PhN(CH2CH2PiPr2)2], which is an analogue of the versatile MACHO ligand, iPrPNHP [HN(CH2CH2PiPr2)2], was synthesized and characterized. The ligand was coordinated to ruthenium, and a series of hydride-containing complexes were isolated and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies, as well as X-ray diffraction. Comparisons to previously published analogues ligated by iPrPNHP and iPrPNMeP [CH3N(CH2CH2PiPr2)2] illustrate that there are large changes in the coordination chemistry that occur when the nitrogen substituent of the pincer ligand is altered. For example, ruthenium hydrides supported by the iPrPNPhP ligand always form the syn isomer (where syn/anti refer to the relative orientation of the group on nitrogen and the hydride ligand on ruthenium), whereas complexes supported by iPrPNHP form the anti isomer and complexes supported by iPrPNMeP form a mixture of syn and anti isomers. We evaluated the impact of the nitrogen substituent of the pincer ligand in catalysis by comparing a series of iPrPNRP (R = H, Me, Ph)-ligated ruthenium hydride complexes as catalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to formate. The iPrPNPhP-ligated species is the most active for formic acid dehydrogenation, and mechanistic studies suggest that this is likely because there are kinetic advantages for catalysts that operate via the syn isomer. In CO2 hydrogenation, the iPrPNPhP-ligated species is again the most active under our optimal conditions, and we report some of the highest turnover frequencies for homogeneous catalysts. Experimental and theoretical insights into the turnover-limiting step of catalysis provide a basis for the observed trends in catalytic activity. Additionally, the stability of our complexes enabled us to detect a previously unobserved autocatalytic effect involving the base that is added to drive the reaction. Overall, by modifying the nitrogen substituent on the MACHO ligand, we have developed highly active catalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation and CO2 hydrogenation and also provided a framework for future catalyst development.

Abstract
Molybdenum(0) complexes with aliphatic aminophosphine pincer ligands have been prepared which are competent for the disproportionation of formic acid, thus representing the first example so far reported of non-noble metal species to catalytically promote such transformation. In general, formic acid disproportionation allows for an alternative access to methyl formate and methanol from renewable resources. MeOH selectivity up to 30% with a TON of 57 could be achieved while operating at atmospheric pressure. Selectivity (37%) and catalyst performance (TON = 69) could be further enhanced when the reaction was performed under hydrogen pressure (60 bars). A plausible mechanism based on experimental evidence is proposed. Mo(0) complexes with aliphatic PNP-pincer ligands enable the first example of non-noble metal catalyzed formic acid disproportionation leading to methanol with a selectivity of up to 37% and a turnover number up to 69.![]()

Abstract
Strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) is a phenomenon commonly observed on heterogeneous catalysts. Here, direct evidence of SMSI between noble metal and 2D TiB2 supports is reported. The temperature-induced TiB2 overlayers encapsulate the metal nanoparticles, resulting in core-shell nanostructures that are sintering-resistant with metal loadings as high as 12.0 wt%. The TiOx -terminated TiB2 surfaces are the active sites catalyzing the dehydrogenation of formic acid at room temperature. In contrast to the trade-off between stability and activity in conventional SMSI, TiB2 -based SMSI promotes catalytic activity and stability simultaneously. By optimizing the thickness and coverage of the overlayer, the Pt/TiB2 catalyst displays an outstanding hydrogen productivity of 13.8 mmol g-1 cat h-1 in 10.0 m aqueous solution without any additive or pH adjustment, with >99.9% selectivity toward CO2 and H2 . Theoretical studies suggest that the TiB2 overlayers are stabilized on different transition metals through an interplay between covalent and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the computationally determined trends in metal-TiB2 interactions are fully consistent with the experimental observations regarding the extent of SMSI on different transition metals. The present research introduces a new means to create thermally stable and catalytically active metal/support interfaces for scalable chemical and energy applications.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) is a promising hydrogen carrier which can play an instrumental role in the overall implementation of a hydrogen economy. In this regard, it is important to generate H2 gas from neat FA without any solvent/additive, for which existing systems are scarce. Here we report the remarkable catalytic activity of a ruthenium 9H-acridine pincer complex for this process. The catalyst is unusually stable and robust in FA even at high temperatures and can catalyse neat FA dehydrogenation for over a month, with a total turnover number of 1,701,150, while also generating high H2/CO2 gas pressures (tested up to 100 bars). Mechanistic investigations and DFT studies are conducted to fully understand the molecular mechanism to the process. Overall, the high activity, stability, selectivity, simplicity and versatility of the system to generate a CO-free H2/CO2 gas stream and high pressure from neat FA makes it promising for large-scale implementation.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) is among the most promising hydrogen storage materials. The development of efficient catalysts for the dehydrogenation of FA via molecular-level control and precise tuning remains challenging. A series of biomimetic Ir complexes was developed for the efficient dehydrogenation of FA in an aqueous solution without base addition. A high turnover frequency of 46510 h-1 was achieved at 90 °C in 1 m FA solution with complex 1 bearing pendant pyridine. Experimental and mechanistic studies revealed that the integrated pendant pyridine and pyrazole moieties of complex 1 could act as proton relay and facilitate proton shuttling in the outer coordination sphere. This study provides a new strategy to control proton transfer accurately and a new principle for the design of efficient catalysts for FA dehydrogenation.
