New work from the group now online in @chemistryeurope.bsky.social Chem. Eur. J. journal. More than mere structural curiosities, early transition metal polyhydrides can also be active catalysts. Check out our paper on Mo pentahydride-catalyzed alkene hydrogenation: doi.org/10.1002/chem...
While late 3d metals dominate efforts to replace precious metals in homogeneous hydrogenation, molybdenum has remained largely ignored. This work reveals that a nine-coordinate pentahydrido molybdenu...
