Summary: In this study, the thermochemistry of proton uptake in acetonitrile across three charge states of a polyoxovanadate-alkoxide cluster ([V6O7(OMe)(12)](n)) was investigated. The oxidation state of the vanadium oxide assembly was found to influence the basicity of the cluster surface, while the acid strength affected the cluster conversion. Spectroscopic investigations allowed for determination of the proton affinity of the surface of the cluster in all three charge states. These findings provide insights for engineering functional surfaces of metal oxide materials in energy storage and conversion.

Summary: This study investigates the electronic structure of a reduced polyoxovanadate-alkoxide cluster with a bridging oxide moiety. The incorporation of bridging oxide sites quenches the cluster-wide electron delocalization in the most reduced state, resulting in a change in regioselectivity of PCET to the cluster surface. Reactivity localized at the bridging oxide site enables reversible storage of a single H-atom equivalent, altering the stoichiometry of PCET. The findings provide insights into the design of functional materials for energy storage and conversion processes.

Summary: This study focuses on the ligand effects on reactivity and in situ iron speciation in the iron-catalyzed amino-oxygenation of olefins using a bisoxazoline ligand. Experimental results reveal that the ligand and solvent have significant influence on the speciation in the precatalytic mixture, leading to the formation of different species that affect the reactivity. The in situ experiments provide evidence for the formation of an iron iminyl radical species and suggest that the functionalized hydroxylamine identity can dictate the reactivity observed in these reactions.

Summary: In this study, a synthetic method for a tripodal ligand scaffold is reported, which forms a narrow and rigid cavity through a macrocyclization reaction. The resulting coordination complexes exhibit a narrow cavity and an open metal coordination site. It is shown that acetonitrile entry into the cavity is sterically precluded, disrupting anticipated coordination at the intracavity site. A new tripodal ligand system is used to access unsaturated metallates of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II).

Summary: Anionic dopants, such as O-atom vacancies, have a significant impact on the thermochemical and kinetic parameters of proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) at metal oxide surfaces. To gain insights, polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters are used as models of reducible metal oxide surfaces. The study shows that the presence of O-atom defects weakens the O-H bond strength and enhances the rate of H-atom uptake due to reduced activation barriers for H-atom transfer at the cluster surface.
