Summary: The functionalization of alkynes by Au (N-heterocyclic carbene, NHC) complexes through hydrophenoxylation reaction is a topic of discussion for mono and dual metal catalysis. This study examined a synthetic motif that mimics a framework with two gold units and tested its role in hydrophenoxylation/hydroalkoxylation reactions using DFT calculations. Different chain lengths were explored in terms of coordinating the alkyne to the cationic NHC-gold(I) center.

Summary: Poly(vinyl ethers) are valuable compounds in the coating industry with properties like high viscosity, soft adhesiveness, saponification resistance, and solubility in water and organic solvents. Synthesizing vinyl ether monomers remains a challenge, but the addition of alcohols to alkynes catalyzed by transition metals has shown promise, with gold-NHC catalysts being particularly effective. Recent studies on the hydrophenoxylation reaction have revealed the rate-determining steps and sensitivity to sterical hindrance from the NHC ligands.

Summary: There is a significant correlation between the size of non-symmetric poly(diphenylacetylene)s (PDPAs) and their electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Consequently, polymers and oligomers of PDPAs with the same screw sense excess exhibit reverse ECD spectra. This is attributed to the intricate nature of ECD spectra, which primarily rely on the degree of polymerization (DP).

Summary: Understanding the electrode/electrolyte interface is crucial for optimizing electrocatalytic performances. The nature of alkali metal cations has been found to have a profound impact on the oxygen evolution activity of SURMOF derived electrocatalysts based on NiFe(OOH). The effects of cation-dependent electric double layer properties on activity were studied using a laser-induced current transient technique. Electrolyte composition can be used to maximize the performance of SURMOF derivatives in electrochemical water splitting.

Summary: Light, in combination with transition metal catalysis, can modify catalyst function in a non-invasive manner, often switching on or accelerating reactions that do not occur in the dark. While it is less common, the ability to completely change reactivity or selectivity between different reaction outcomes is also possible with these systems. These non-natural, photo-switchable systems provide key mechanistic insights that enhance our understanding and stimulate the development of new catalytic activities, potentially impacting fields such as polymer chemistry.

Summary: Pyrrole derivatives with C(2)-aryl substituents are an important and widespread class of heterocyclic compounds. A novel approach combining the dual role of arylating agent as nitrogen protecting group and involved in the arylation step has been developed for the direct arylation synthesis of C(2)-arylpyrroles. The deprotection as a final stage is carried out simultaneously utilizing amines as reacting components, leading to mild conditions and exclusive C(2) selectivity.

Summary: For decades, efforts have been made to reduce the amount of metal reagents used in the synthesis of secondary alcohols. In 2021, Newman and collaborators pioneered a synthesis method using metals as catalytic engines rather than reactants. This paper presents a description of the process using Density Functional Theory calculations and attempts to shed light on the mechanism behind the attainment of secondary alcohols, emphasizing the debate on whether the catalytically active species is Ni(0) or if they take shortcuts following the course of Ni(II). Effective Orbital analyses provide a clear picture. Furthermore, this paper provides insight into both the nature of the ligands of the metal catalyst and the role of the base.

Summary: Aqueous lithium-ion batteries are promising large-scale energy storage technology due to their low-cost and environmentally friendly nature. However, the interaction between water and electrodes leads to fast degradation of the batteries. In this study, density functional theory simulations were used to investigate the behavior of Li1-xMn2O4 as a cathode material for aqueous batteries. The results reveal that a partially lithiated (011) surface can produce O2 at low overpotential, while a (001) termination can facilitate the presence of O and OOH intermediates at 1.23 V without generating O2. The study highlights the pros and cons of using Li1-xMn2O4 as a cathode material and the importance of surface termination in aqueous electrolytes.

Summary: The properties of polymer networks are influenced by the presence of connectivity defects like loops and dangling ends. Transient polymer networks based on metallo-supramolecular polymer networks and hindrance can self-sort to develop networks with fewer defects. By using heteroleptic complexes and adjusting the coordination geometry preference, we can control the self-sorting process and reduce the formation of primary loops and dangling ends. Our results show that copper(I) can adopt the desired geometry requirements and create a network with the least number of defects.

Summary: In this study, the catalytic activity of a series of platinum(II) pre-catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands in the alkene hydrosilylation reaction is reported. The structural and electronic properties of these catalysts are fully characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). A structure-activity relationship within this group of pre-catalysts is established, and mechanistic insights into the catalyst activation step are provided. One of the complexes shows exceptional catalytic performance, achieving a turnover number (TON) of 970,000 and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 40,417 h(-1) at 1 ppm catalyst loading. Furthermore, a solvent-free and open-to-air alkene hydrosilylation protocol with efficient platinum removal (reducing residual Pt from 582 ppm to 5.8 ppm) is disclosed.

Summary: The mechanism for the stereospecific synthesis of cyclobutanes is revealed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The rate-determining step involves the release of N2 from the 1,1-diazene intermediate to form an open-shell singlet 1,4-biradical. The formation of the stereo-retentive product is explained by the barrierless collapse of this open-shell singlet 1,4-biradical. The methodology could potentially be used for the synthesis of [2]-ladderanes and bicyclic cyclobutanes.

Summary: Advances in self-sorting mechanisms have led to the development of well-defined supra-molecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with unprecedented geometries. However, these advances have been rarely applied to the design of metallo-supramolecular polymer networks (MSPNs). To address this gap, steric hindrance was used as a self-sorting mechanism to construct MSPNs based on the formation of heteroleptic complexes. These results open up a promising interface between polymer science and coordination chemistry.

Summary: The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction enables the construction of biaryl ketones from inert amide bonds. However, the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst effect in this reaction remain poorly understood. This study investigates the use of [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl-2] catalysts for amide N-C bond activation and presents the reaction development, kinetic studies, and reaction scope. DFT studies were also conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst activation. The results suggest that [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl-2] precatalysts could find application in C(acyl)-X bond activation in organic synthesis and catalysis.

Summary: In this study, the performance of Cu, Ag, and Au single-atom particles dispersed on a two-dimensional carbon nitride support for CO2 reduction reaction was explored. It was found that the deposition of single metal atoms enhances the catalytic activity of the system, with the first proton-electron transfer being favored in terms of energy. However, strong binding energies were found for CO adsorption on Cu and Au single atoms, leading to the favorable competitive H2 generation.

Summary: The influence of ethanol content in adducts on the catalytic behavior of Ziegler-Natta catalysts in propylene homo- and copolymerizations was investigated. The results showed that higher ethanol content in the adducts led to increased catalyst activity, particularly in homopolymerization reactions in the absence of H2. Additionally, the catalyst with the highest ethanol content produced a copolymer with lower isotacticity index and more uniform distribution of comonomer. These findings highlight the importance of controlling ethanol content in catalyst/support during the preparation process. Molecular simulation was also utilized to explain the iso-specificity of the polypropylene produced by the synthesized catalysts.

Summary: Replicating the enzymatic surface microenvironment in vitro is challenging, but constructing an analogous model could facilitate our understanding of surface effects and aid in developing an efficient bioinspired catalytic system. In this study, five unique Cu2O morphologies were generated, and the surface morphology variations were found to be a consequence of differences in the exposure of low-index facets. The reactivity of Cu2O was found to be influenced by the proportion of {110} planes, with r-Cu2O exhibiting the highest reactivity.
