Mechanistic studies are of great importance for the understanding, optimization, and design
of chemical reactions, especially catalysis. In recent years, the combination of mass …

Carboxylic acids are valuable organic substrates as they are widely available, easy to
handle, and exhibit structural and functional variety. While they are used in many standard …

Hexanuclear copper hydride complexes,[Cu6 (μ3-H) 2 (meso-L 4) 3 (RNC) 4](PF6) 4 (R= t
Bu (6a), Cy (6b)), were prepared by using a new linear tetraphosphine, meso-Ph2PCH2P …

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 …

Copper (I) hydride complexes represent a promising entry into formic acid dehydrogenation
catalysis. Herein we present the spontaneous decarboxylation of a μ1, 3-formate-bridged …

Reduction of a dicopper (II) bis (hydroxide) complex with silanes in the presence of external
copper or silver cations results in the formation of multinuclear hydride clusters, which were …

A near thermal two-step catalytic cycle for the selective release of hydrogen from formic acid
by mononuclear cuprate anions was revealed using multistage mass spectrometry …

Although the mechanism for the transformation of carbon dioxide to formate with copper
hydride is well understood, it is not clear how formic acid is ultimately released. Herein, we …

Multistage mass spectrometry experiments, isotope labelling and DFT calculations were
used to explore whether selective decarbonylation of formic acid could be mediated by …

A series of zinc‐based catalysts was evaluated for their efficiency in decomposing formic
acid into molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the gas phase using quadrupole ion …
