Dual functionality of formamidinepolymers, as ligands and as bases, in ruthenium-catalysed hydrogen evolution from formic acid

Abstract

In the present study, the ruthenium-catalysed decomposition of formic acid to yield hydrogen has been examined. A ruthenium complex modified polyformamidine network was used as a solid catalyst. As a dual support the polyformamidine acts both as a ligand and as a base for the activation of formic acid.
