Abstract：
A new class of pincer ligands that have a unique disubstituted phosphinoamino (NH-PR2) arm is introduced. Upon complexation to transition metals, a series of ruthenium, rhodium, nickel, iron, chromium, and cobalt complexes have been proven to be efficient catalysts for dehydrogenative coupling, hydrogenation, and olefin polymerization reactions. Selective examples of ethanol dehydrogenation to ethyl acetate and carbon dioxide reduction will be highlighted.
Keywords: Cooperative Catalysis, Dehydrogenation, Hydrogenation, CO2 reduction
