With a view towards replacing sacrificial hydrogen acceptors in alkane dehydrogenation catalysis, electrochemical methods for oxidative activation of a pincer-ligated iridium hydride intermediate were explored. A 1H(+)/2e(-) oxidation process was observed in THF solvent, with net hydride loss leading to a reactive cationic intermediate that can be trapped by chloride. Analogous reactivity was observed with the concerted hydride transfer reagent Ph3C(+), connecting chemical and electrochemical hydride loss pathways.
为了在烷烃脱氢催化中替代牺牲性氢受体，人们探索了用于氧化活化钳形配位氢化铱中间体的电化学方法。在四氢呋喃溶剂中观察到一个1H(+)/2e(-)氧化过程，净氢化物损失导致生成一种活性阳离子中间体，该中间体可被氯离子捕获。使用协同氢化物转移试剂三苯基碳正离子（Ph3C(+)）时观察到了类似的反应活性，这将化学和电化学氢化物损失途径联系了起来。
