A series of Mo complexes bearing inexpensive bidentate bis(NHC) ligands have been synthesized and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as single crystal XRD analysis. These complexes proved to be efficient for the catalytic hydrogenation of aliphatic and aromaticesters (>35 examples) operating at low catalyst loadings (0.5–2 mol %) and temperatures (80–120 °C). Various functional groups
