HYDRIDE METAL COMPLEX AND LOW ATOMIC VALENCE METAL COMPLEX, AND METHOD OF DRAWING OUT ELECTRON FROM HYDROGEN MOLECULE USING THESE, METHOD OF HYDROGENATING SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN FROM DEUTERIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new hydride metal complex having a catalytic action to hydrogenate a substrate.;SOLUTION: The hydride metal complex is represented by formula (4) or formula (6). The metal complex is reversibly changed to a lower atomic valence metal complex produced by dehydrogenation in the reaction while hydrogenating a substrate such as a benzaldehyde derivative to generate a benzyl alcohol derivative. Further, for example, hydrogen is generated from the metal complex (4) and proton, and an electron can be drawn out from the hydrogen molecule by holding the electron to the dehydrogenated low atomic valence metal complex.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
