TL;DR: The best codigestion BMP test has highlighted an increase of 47% in methane production respect sewage sludge digestion, and the maximum methane yield was observed for restaurant and canteens organic wastes.

TL;DR: New benzo[h]quinoline ligands (HCN'N) containing a CHRNH2 function in the 2-position were prepared and used to prepare ruthenium and osmium complexes, which are excellent catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones.

TL;DR: Compounds 1, 2, 5 and the mixture of isomers 3/4 efficiently catalyze the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of different ketones in refluxing 2-propanol and in the presence of NaOiPr.

TL;DR: The reaction of [RuCl(CNN)(dppb)] with NaOiPr in 2-propanol/C6D6 affords the alcohol adduct alkoxide, containing the Ru-NH2 linkage, which is very close to the enantiomeric excess of the alcohol (R)-CF3CH(OH)(4-C6H4F) formed in catalysis, thus suggesting that diastereoisomeric alkoxides with the Ru

TL;DR: The pincer complexes [RuX(CNN)(dppb)] and [RuCl(CNN) as discussed by the authors have been obtained in high yield by substitution of the chloride with sodium or thallium compounds or protonation of the alkoxide.
