Claim Text:
1. A method of catalyzing a hydrodesulfurization reaction comprising: reacting an organic substrate having at least one carbon-sulfur bond in the presence of a reducing agent with a catalyst of general formula: where: A is a monoanionic σ-bonded ligand capable of undergoing hydrogenolysis in the presence of hydrogen or hydrosilane; M is Fe, Ni or Co; n equals 2, 3, or 4; m equals 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; Y is a weakly-coordinating or non-coordinating counter-ion, of formal negative charge ‘d’, and with stoichiometry ‘e’ such that d·e=m, and NPR where: R wherein R wherein the ratio of M to NPR
