**Abstract**

 Our team recently demonstrated a strategy to separate H₂ from a gaseous mixture of H₂ /CO/CO₂ /CH₄   
that can include an excess of CO and CO₂ relative to H₂ and simultaneously store it in N   
heterocyclic compounds that act as liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which can be applied   
to produce H₂ by subsequent dehydrogenation.1 Our results demonstrate that LOHCs can potentially be   
used for H₂ purification in addition to their well established use in H₂ storage. Moreover, this   
work demonstrates a new aspect o f main group catalysis beyond its application as a simple   
alternative to well established transition metal catalyzed processes, i.e., the main group   
catalyzed hydrogenation of unsaturated molecules e.g. carbonyl compounds 2 under mixed gas   
conditions. Recent progress on our orig inal triarylborane catalysis will also be mentioned in my   
lecture 3,4
