Redox non-innocent (RNI) ligands have received considerable attention for their ability to act as electron reservoirs in multi-electron reactions. Many RNI ligand also have the capacity to store and deliver protons, allowing an RNI ligand to act as a reservoir for hydrogen atoms or hydrides. This talk will examine the synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes containing non-innocent ligands that are potential hydrogen-atom or hydride donors.
