CATALYST FOR DEHYDROGENATION, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF CARBONYL COMPOUND AND HYDROGEN USING THE CATALYST

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel catalyst for dehydrogenation, a method for manufacturing ketone, aldehyde and carboxylic acid from alcohols by using the catalyst at high efficiency, and a method for efficiently manufacturing hydrogen from formic acid and formate.SOLUTION: There is provided a catalyst containing the formula (1), where Ar is benzene which may have a substituent or a cyclopentadienyl group which may have a substituent and M represents ruthenium, rhodium or iridium, e.g. an organic metal compound represented by Compounds 1 and 2.
