Liquid-Phase Dehydrogenation of Methanol with Homogeneous Ruthenium Complex Catalysts

Reactivity of a Ruthenium–Carbonyl Complex in the Methanol Dehydrogenation Reaction

Finding new catalysts for the release of molecular hydrogen from methanol is of high relevance in the context of the development of sustainable energy carriers. Herein, we report that the ruthenium complex Ru(salbinapht)(CO)(Pi-Pr3) {salbinapht=2-[({2'-[(2-hydroxybenzyl)amino]-[1,1'-binaphthalen]-2-yl}imino)methyl]phenolato} (2) catalyzes the methanol dehydrogenation reaction in the presence of...

Homogeneous ruthenium-based water-gas shift catalysts via supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) technology at low temperature and ambient pressure.

Novel ruthenium-based supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction are reported which, compared to classical low temperature shift systems, operate at much lower temperatures and even at ambient pressure.

A New Homogeneous Catalyst for the Dehydrogenation of Dimethylamine Borane Starting with Ruthenium(III) Acetylacetonate

Interaction of Methanol with Ruthenium

The interaction of methanol with a clean <I 10) ruthenium surface has been studied using temperature programmed desorption methods. Methanol dissociates upon adsorption at 300 K and yields Ha(g) and chemisorbed CO as the domiwt products. Randomization of evolved hydrogen was shown to occur during methanol adsorption and also upon subsequent thermal desorption using isotopically labeled methanol...

Catalytic dehydrogenation of isopentane with iridium catalysts.

The catalytic activation of alkanes under mild conditions to give the corresponding alkenes and hydrogen has tremendous industrial implications because olefins are the most important starting materials for large-scale industrial processes such as olefin polymerization, dimerization, oligomerization, hydroformylation, and metathesis. In the search for a process by which olefins can be produced f...
