Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by metal-organic framework (ZIF-8): Highly efficient catalyst for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane and transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons using dimethylamine-borane as hydrogen source

- For the first time, RuNPs/ZIF-8 were prepared and characterized.
- They are highly active and reusable catalyst in the dehydrogenation of DMAB.
- They catalyze transfer hydrogenation of olefins by using DMAB as a stoichiometric H2 source.
