Rapid and selective formic acid dehydrogenation catalysis by molecular ruthenium hydrides supported by rigid PCcarbeneP pincer ligands† A series of four molecular ruthenium hydrido complexes supported by previously reported rigid PCcarbeneP pincer ligand frameworks were evaluated as formic acid dehydrogenation (FAD) catalysts.

Ruthenium polyhydrides supported by rigid PCP pincer ligands: dynamic behaviour and reactions with CO2 Two rigid β-elimination immune PCcarbeneP pincer ligands, differing in their electron donor properties by variation of the substitution pattern on the aromatic linker arms, were complexed to ruthenium to form the dichlorides LRRuCl2 (R = H or NMe2). These compounds were converted to hydrido chlorides by treatment with dihydrogen (H2) and a base.

Cyclic Secondary Amine Functionalized Perylene Diimide Polymers for Solution Processed Electrochromic Devices To facilitate practical implementation of organic electrochromic devices in energy-efficient smart windows, displays, energy-storage, and sensors, it is important to consider factors such as response time and cycling stability.
