Some ruthenium-hydride complexes react with O<sub>2</sub> to yield H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, therefore the principle of microscopic reversibility dictates that the reverse reaction is also possible, that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> could transfer an H<sup>-</sup> to a Ru complex. Mechanistic evidence is presented, using the Ru-catalyzed ABTS˙<sup>-</sup> reduction reaction as a probe, which suggests that a Ru-H intermediate is formed <i>via</i> deinsertion of O<sub>2</sub> from H<sub>2</sub>O<s ...[more]
