It is an iridium complex that catalyses the dehydrogenation of a heterocyclic organic compound, and then in the presence of hydrogen changes itself to catalyse the reverse reaction (the ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...

One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of iridium with stable terdentate “pincer” ligands as alkane dehydrogenation catalysts: Calculations suggest that pincer ligands with ...

To further probe the structure-function relationships, the team tested dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions, in which hydrogen molecules are stripped off or added to a larger molecule.
