Ligands derived from ortho-aminophenols and related complexes are effective at managing both electron and proton inventories when coordinated to a transition metal. As such, these ligand platforms are not only redox active, but are also capable of acting as reservoirs for hydrogen atoms and even hydrides in small molecule activation reactions. This talk will elucidate thermodynamic and kinetic factors governing electron, proton, hydrogen-atom, and hydride transfer in metal complexes with aminophenolate-type ligands.
