The development of bifunctional catalysts for the efficient hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenation ofN-heterocycles is a challenge. In this study, Ru2P/AC effectively promoted reversible transformations between unsaturated and saturatedN-heterocycles affording yields of 98% and 99%, respectively. Moreover, a remarkable enhancement in the reusability of Ru2P/AC was observed compared with other Ru-based catalysts. According to density functional theory calculations, the superior performance of Ru2P/AC was ascribed to specific synergistic factors, namely geometric and electronic effects induced by P. P greatly reduced the large Ru-Ru ensembles and finely modified the electronic structures, leading to a low reaction barrier and high desorption ability of the catalyst, further boosting the hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenation processes.
