title: Phosphine-imine and -enamido ligands for acceptorless dehydrogenation catalysis.
abstract: A highly tunable phosphine-imine ligand family is introduced. Following metallation with ruthenium, deprotonation of the ligand affords a phosphine-enamido species. Complexes with the ligand in both the imine and enamido forms are active toward acceptorless dehydrogenation reactions.
