Abstract

A series of heterobimetallic complexes, including [M1Me (μ-η5: η1-C5H4PEt2) 2M2Cp*](5a, M1= Zr, M2= Ru; 5b, M1= Hf, M2= Ru; 5c, M1= Zr, M2= Fe) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray analyses. Dehydrogenation of Me2NH· BH3 takes place in the presence of a catalytic amount of these heterobimetallic complexes. Studies on the reaction pathway of the catalytic dehydrogenation of Me2NH· BH3 lead us to propose a catalytic ...
