Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Molecularly well‐defined iron pincer complexes promote the aqueous‐phase reforming of methanol to carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which is of interest in the context of a methanol and hydrogen economy. For the first time, the use of earth‐abundant iron complexes under mild conditions for efficient hydrogen generation from alcohols is demonstrated.</p> </abstract>
