    The linear tetraphosphine 1,1,4,7,10,10-hexaphenyl-1,4,7,10-tetraphosphadecane (tetraphos-1, P4) was used as its <i>rac</i> and <i>meso</i> isomers for the synthesis of both molecularly defined and in situ formed Fe­(II) complexes. These were used as precatalysts for sodium bicarbonate hydrogenation to formate and formic acid dehydrogenation to hydrogen and carbon dioxide with moderate to good activities in comparison to those for literature systems based on Fe. Mechanistic details of the reaction pathways were obtained by NMR and HPNMR experiments, highlighting the role of the Fe­(II) monohydrido complex [FeH­(<i>rac</i>-P4)]<sup>+</sup> as a key intermediate. X-ray crystal structures of different complexes bearing <i>rac</i>-P4 were also obtained and are described herein

    Fe­(II) hydrido carbonyl complexes supported by PNP pincer ligands based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine scaffold were studied as homogeneous, non-precious-metal-based catalysts for selective formic acid dehydrogenation to hydrogen and carbon dioxide, reaching quantitative yields and high TONs under mild reaction conditions

    A detailed hybrid density functional theory study was carried out to clarify the mechanism of Ru-catalyzed dehydrogenation of formic acid in the presence of the octahedral complexes [Ru­(κ<sup>4</sup>-NP<sub>3</sub>)­Cl<sub>2</sub>] (<b>1</b>) and [Ru­(κ<sup>3</sup>-triphos)­(MeCN)<sub>3</sub>]­(PF<sub>6</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>2·PF</b><sub><b>6</b></sub>) [NP<sub>3</sub> = N­(CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>­PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, triphos = MeC­(CH<sub>2</sub>­PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]. It was shown that Ru-hydrido vs Ru-formato species are pivotal to bringing about the efficient release of H<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> following either a metal-centered (inner-sphere) or a ligand-centered (outer-sphere) pathway, respectively
