Heterolytic H2 Cleavage and Catalytic Hydrogenation by an Iron Metallaboratrane
{{output}}
Reversible, heterolytic addition of H2 across an iron-boron bond in a ferraboratrane with formal hydride transfer to the boron gives iron-borohydrido-hydride complexes. These compounds catalyze the hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes to the respective alkanes... ...
