My talk will focus on recent advancements my group has made on hydrogenation chemistry. I will first discuss thermodynamic considerations for hydrogenation catalysts that can undergo metal-ligand cooperativity, and how this can impact the mechanism. I will then shift to our efforts to develop electrocatalytic hydrogenations. These studies are contextualized in the need to advance hydrogenations of carbonyl species for combined carbon capture & recycling efforts as well as bio-oil stabilization.
