A new ruthenium complex containing a pyridylidene amine-based NNN ligand was developed as a catalyst precursor for formic acid dehydrogenation, which, as a rare example, does not require basic additives to display high activity (TOF ∼10 000 h-1). Conveniently, the complex is air-stable, but sensitive to light. Mechanistic investigations using UV-vis and NMR spectroscopic monitoring correlated with gas evolution profiles indicate rapid and reversible protonation of the central nitrogen of the NNN ligand as key step of catalyst activation, followed by an associative step for formic acid dehydrogenation.
