Strategic structure modulation of novel quinoxaline-derived liquid organic hydrogen carriers for enhanced dehydrogenation kinetics

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 9;60(30):4048-4051. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00766b.

Abstract

This study introduces novel Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) derived from quinoxaline. It shows that strategically incorporating N atoms and methyl groups markedly improves the hydrogen release kinetics. This structural modulation optimizes the adsorption properties and enables low-temp C-H bond activation, providing valuable insights for developing efficient LOHCs.
