An anionic iridium complex [Cp*Ir(2,2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na] is a general and highly
efficient catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines with
methanol as hydrogen source under base-free conditions. Nitro, cyano, and ester
groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions.

An air and moisture stable manganese pincer complex catalyzes the
semireduction of various alkynes to the corresponding (Z)-olefins in high
yields. The reaction is stereo- and chemoselective and scalable.
