Hydrogenolysis without hydrogen gas: hydrogen loaded palladium electrodes by electrolysis of H[NTf2] in a room temperature ionic liquid

Electrochemical hydrogenolysis has been demonstrated in a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) for the first time. Reduction of H[NTf2] at a Pd microelectrode in the RTIL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C2mim][NTf2]) leads to the reversible formation of adsorbed and...
