In situ 1H and 31P NMR methods were used to study the reactions of ruthenium hydride complex TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)H [Tp=hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate] with water and acidic HOCH2CF3. The result shows that the the products were TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OH) and TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OCH2CF3), respectively. The presence of Ru—H…HOH and Ru—H…HOCH2CF3 dihydrogen-bonding interactions was observed. The different mechanisms involving the formation of TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OH) and TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OCH2CF3) are proposed. In the presence of water, TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)H reacts with H2O to produce TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OH) via the intermediates TpRu(PPh3)(H2O)H and TpRu(PPh3)(OH)(η2-H2). However, in the case of CF3CH2OH, the protonation of the hydride ligand by CF3CH2OH generates a key species [TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(η2-H2)](OCH2CF3), which is then transformed to TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OCH2CF3). TpRu(PPh3)(CH3CN)(OCH2CF3) reacts with H2 to result in the formation of TpRu(PPh3)(η2-H2)H via the intermediate TpRu(PPh3)(HOCH2CF3)H
