Pincer-type complexes [OsH (CO){PyCH NHCH CH NHPtBu }] and [OsH (CO){HN(CH CH PiPr ) }] catalyze the disproportionation reaction of aldehydes via an outer-sphere bifunctional mechanism achieving turnover frequencies up to 14 000 h . The N-H group of the catalysts is a key player in this process, elucidated with the help of DFT calculations.
