Inspired by Nature: A conceptually new design for a catalyst, combining a metal center abutted to an organic hydride donor, is demonstrated for the formate-driven transfer hydrogenation of imines under ambient conditions. A key step, transfer of hydride from the organohydride donor to the metal-polarized substrate, mirrors that in metallo-(de)hydrogenase enzymes.
