can lead to its abatement. We report the homogeneously catalyzed reaction of nitrous oxide (N2O) with H2. The reaction is catalyzed by a PNP pincer ruthenium complex, generating efficiently only dinitrogen and water, under mild conditions, thus providing a green, mild methodology for removal of nitrous oxide. The reaction proceeds through a sequence of dihydrogen activation, “O”-atom transfer, and dehydration

two 4Me−PNP Rucomplexes and compared their catalytic performance against two traditional analogues used in acceptorlessalcoholdehydrogenation catalysis, leading us to identify a common deactivation pathway. The 4Me−PNP complexes, which do not undergo dearomatization upon addition of base, also allowed us to obtain rare, albeit unstable, 16 electron mono-CO Ru(0), and their subsequent Ru(II) reaction
