Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides by Hydrogen with Rhodium(I)-Platinum(II) Olefin Complexes as Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: The nitrogen oxides NO₂ , NO, and N₂ O are among the most potent air pollutants of the 21^st century. A bimetallic Rh^I -Pt^II complex containing an especially designed multidentate phosphine olefin ligand is capable of catalytically detoxifying these nitrogen oxides in the presence of hydrogen to form water and dinitrogen as benign products. The catalytic reactions were performed at room temperature and low pressures (3-4 bar for combined nitrogen oxides and hydrogen gases). A turnover number (TON) of 587 for the reduction of nitrous oxide (N₂ O) to water and N₂ was recorded, making these Rh^I -Pt^II complexes the best homogeneous catalysts for this reaction to date. Lower TONs were achieved in t
