Cover Picture: Selective Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid with Well-Defined Complexes of Ruthenium and Phosphorus-Nitrogen PN3-Pincer Ligand (Chem. Asian J. 9/2016)

Formic acid (HCOOH) has been considered as a potential liquid source and storage material for hydrogen. Its high volumetric hydrogen capacity of 53 g H2 L−, equivalent to an energy density of 1.77 kW h L−1, makes it attractive for automotive and mobile applications. A new class of PN3‐pincer complex...

Description
Summary:Formic acid (HCOOH) has been considered as a potential liquid source and storage material for hydrogen. Its high volumetric hydrogen capacity of 53 g H2 L−, equivalent to an energy density of 1.77 kW h L−1, makes it attractive for automotive and mobile applications. A new class of PN3‐pincer complexes were employed for the selective hydrogen generation from HCOOH, and a long life time of 150 h with a turnover number over 1 million was achieved.
