Room temperature acceptorless alkane dehydrogenation from molecular σ-alkane complexes

The non-oxidative catalytic dehydrogenation of light alkanes via C–H activation is a highly endothermic process that generally requires high temperatures and/or a sacrificial hydrogen acceptor to overcome unfavorable thermodynamics. This is complicated by alkanes being such poor ligands, meaning tha...
