Hydrogen Transfer from Organic Compounds Catalysed by Transition Metal Complexes

TLDR: In this paper, a review deals with the new rapidly developing field of homogeneous catalysis and coordination chemistry, namely with reactions involving hydrogen transfer from organic compounds to transition metal complexes accompanied by the dissociation of a C-H bond and the formation of a metal-hydrogen bond.

Abstract: The review deals with the new rapidly developing field of homogeneous catalysis and coordination chemistry, namely with reactions involving hydrogen transfer from organic compounds to transition metal complexes accompanied by the dissociation of a C–H bond and the formation of a metal–hydrogen bond. Particular attention has been devoted to catalytic reactions in which transition metal compounds serve as catalysts of hydrogen transfer and of the reduction of organic compounds by the C–H bonds of other organic molecules. The bibliography includes 177 references.
