Coal liquefaction involves the cleavage of methylene and dimethylene bridges connecting polycyclic aromatic units. The selected compound for model reactions is 4-(1-naphthylmethyl)bibenzyl (NMBB). This work describes the synthesis and screening of several metallic complex precursors as dispersed catalysts for hydrocracking of NMBB.
