40. The transfer reduction rate was found to depend critically on the counterion of the formates, the ionic size of which determines the hydrogen-donating ability thus the dehydrogenation efficiency of the formate salts (see Table S1 and Ref. [4d]). On the other hand, the addition of a base such as potassium acetate to HCOOH accelerated the aldehyde reduction rate (see Figure S9) further confirms that HCOO ion is essential for the reaction to proceed.

43. Based on the GC-MS analysis, no hydrogen was generated during the process of the Au/meso-CeO2-catalyzed TH of aldehydes, which indicates that the encountered reduction was a true hydrogen transfer rather than a consecutive dehydrogenation-hydrogenation ACHTUNGTRENUNGreaction.
