The PCP pincer complex, IrH2{C6H3-2,6-(CH2P-t-Bu2)2} (1) catalyzes the transfer dehydrogenation of primary and secondary alcohols. Dehydrogenation occurs across the C—O bond rather than the C—C bonds and the corresponding aldehydes or ketones are obtained as the sole products arising from the dehydrogenation reactions. Methanol is an exception to this pattern of reactivity and undergoes only stoichiometric dehydrogenation with 1 to give the carbonyl complex, Ir(CO){C6H3-2,6-(CH2P-t-Bu2)2} (2). The products are obtained in nearly quantitative yields when the reactions are carried out in toluene solutions. Under the same conditions, 2,5-hexanediol is converted to the annulated product, 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one which has been isolated in 91% yield in a preparative scale reaction.Key words: alcohol, dehydrogenation, ketones, iridium pincer complex, annulation.

The storage of hydrogen is the key technology for a sustainable future. We developed an in silico procedure, which is based on the combination of experimental and quantum-chemical methods. This method was used to evaluate energetic parameters for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions of various pyrazine derivatives as a seminal liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), that are involved in the hydrogen storage technologies. With this in silico tool, the tempo of the reliable search for suitable LOHC candidates will accelerate dramatically, leading to the design and development of efficient materials for various niche applications.

An investigation of electrolyte-assisted hydrogen storage reactions in complex aluminum hydrides (LiAlH4 and NaAlH4) reveals significantly reduced reaction times for hydrogen desorption and uptake in the presence of an electrolyte. LiAlH4 evolves ~7.8 wt% H2 over ~3 h in the presence of a Li-KBH4 eutectic at 130 °C compared to ~25 h for the same material without the electrolyte. Similarly, NaAlH4 exhibits 4.8 wt% H2 evolution over ~4 h in the presence of a diglyme electrolyte at 150 °C compared to 4.4 wt% in ~15 h for the same material without the electrolyte. These reduced reaction times are composed of two effects, an increase in reaction rates and a change in the reaction kinetics. While typical solid state dehydrogenation reactions exhibit kinetics with rates that continuously decrease with the extent of reaction, we find that the addition of an electrolyte results in rates that are relatively constant over the full desorption window. Fitting the kinetics to an Avrami-Erofe’ev model supports these observations. The desorption rate coefficients increase in the presence of an electrolyte, suggesting an increase in the velocities of the reactant-product interfaces. In addition, including an electrolyte increases the growth parameters, primarily for the second desorption steps, resulting in the observed relatively constant reaction rates. Similar effects occur upon hydrogen uptake in NaH/Al where the presence of an electrolyte enables hydrogenation under more practical low temperature (75 °C) and pressure (50 bar H2) conditions.
