Coupling H2 to electron transfer

James P. Collman1

1Department of Chemistry Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA

A catalytic transformation of dihydrogen into two protons and two electrons has been discovered with a ruthenium/iron complex. The chemical reactions of complexes between transition metals and dihydrogen give insights into the function of biological hydrogenases.
