Abstract
A pre-catalyst, consisting of RuO2 nanoparticles and clusters anchored on TpBD-Me2 COF, was synthesized. During catalytic formic acid dehydrogenation, RuO2 undergoes in situ reduction to metallic Ru, forming an active and selective catalyst, which outperforms the commercial Ru–C catalyst. The chemical structure of the COF supporting material is maintained during stability testing.
