Homogeneous catalysts based on ruthenium and manganese enable the generation of gaseous CO and H₂ (syngas) from conveniently storable and easily transportable methanol. Conversion/time profiles and kinetic isotope effects together with spectroscopically detected intermediates indicate rapid dehydrogenation followed by two possible catalytic pathways via formaldehyde or methyl formate for decarbonylation as mechanistic manifold.

使用分子催化剂将甲醇无受体脱氢成一氧化碳和氢气

基于钌和锰的均相催化剂能够利用易于储存和运输的甲醇生成气态CO和H _{2 （合成气）。}转化/时间曲线和动力学同位素效应以及光谱检测到的中间体表明快速脱氢，然后是通过甲醛或甲酸甲酯作为机械流形进行脱羰的两种可能的催化途径。
