Dehydrogenation of formic acid is an emerging domain in the sustainable energy system. In this study a half-sandwich [Ru(η⁶-benzene)(hdm)]BF₄ [Ru-hdm] complex (hdm=hydroxydi(pyridine-2-yl)methanolate) has been synthesized and characterized through various spectroscopic techniques. The [Ru-hdm] has been used to dehydrogenate formic acid in simple water using sodium formate (HCOONa) as a base has also been depicted in this study. The [Ru-hdm] complex is a descent catalyst towards dehydrogenation of formic acid into carbon dioxide and hydrogen in 1 : 1 ratio, which has been detected by gas chromatography.

RuII半夹心催化剂对甲酸的脱氢反应

甲酸脱氢是可持续能源系统中的一个新兴领域。在这项研究中，通过各种光谱技术合成并表征了半夹心 [ Ru ( η ⁶ -苯)( hdm) ] BF ₄ [ Ru - hdm ] 配合物（hdm =羟基二（吡啶- 2 -基）甲醇化物）。在[茹- HDM] 已被用于使用甲酸钠 (HCOONa) 作为碱在简单水中对甲酸进行脱氢，本研究中也有描述。[ Ru - hdm ]配合物是甲酸脱氢为1:1比例的二氧化碳和氢气的下降催化剂，已通过气相色谱法检测到。
