• TPM itself can act as an active hydrogen source to produce reduction products. The methynic proton of the TPM ligand in Ru(II) complexes is not observed in 1H NMR spectra because of a fast exchange with D2O ( Llobet , A. ; Doppelt , P. ; Meyer , T. J. Redox properties of aqua complex of ruthenium(II) containing the tridentate ligands 2,2':6',2''-terpirydine and tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane . Inorg. Chem. 1988 , 27 , 514 – 520 ). Moreover the metallation at one of the pyrazole ring carbon atom of TPM complexes, affording a hydride complex, was observed ( Heinekey , D. M. ; Oldham , W. J. ; Wiley , J. S.
