All the reactions were conducted in a 90 mL Fisher-Porter tube using 13 mmol of H₂ and N₂O in 5 mL THF.

All the complexes except 13 were freshly prepared from the corresponding aromatized (pincer)RuH(Cl)(L) with 1 equiv ^tBuOK in THF and used directly in the reactions. Complex 13 was obtained similarly using KHMDS as base.

The TONs are based on the generated H₂O as measured by ¹H NMR of the reaction mixture using mesitylene as internal standard (see SI for details).
