Design of molecular catalysts for achievement of high turnover number in homogeneous hydrogenation

Development of highly active catalysts has been an important research area in synthetic chemistry, especially from a practical point of view. Herein, we focus on the homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation using well-defined molecular catalysts and discuss recent advances in the field with regard to the turnover number for these catalysts.
