Abstract
Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a commonly used engineering thermoplastic, but its recycling by conventional means, i.e., mechanical recycling, is not practiced to any meaningful extent, due to technical limitations. Instead, waste POM is typically incinerated or disposed in landfills, where it becomes a persistent environmental pollutant. An attractive alternative to mechanical recycling is upcycling, namely, the conversion of waste POM into value-added chemicals, but this has received very little attention. Herein, we report the upcycling of POM into useful chemicals through three different reactions, all of which are efficiently catalyzed by a single pincer complex of earth-abundant manganese. One method involves hydrogenation of POM into methanol using H2 gas as the only reagent, whereas another method converts POM into methanol and CO2 through a one-pot process comprising acidolysis followed by Mn-catalyzed disproportionation. The third method utilizes POM as a reagent for the methylation of ketones and amines.

Untangling the catalytic importance of the Se oxidation state in organoselenium-mediated oxygen-transfer reactions: the conversion of aniline to nitrobenzene. Chem Sci 2024; 15:12126-12137.

Abstract
Seleninic acids and their precursors are well-known oxygen-transfer agents that can catalyze several oxidations with H2O2 as the final oxidant. Until very recently, the Se(iv) "peroxyseleninic" acid species has been considered the only plausible catalytic oxidant. Conversely, in 2020, the involvement of Se(vi) "peroxyselenonic" acid has been proposed for the selenium mediated epoxidation of alkenes. In this work, we theoretically probe different mechanisms of H2O2 activation and of Se(iv) to Se(vi) interconversion. In addition, we investigate through a combined theoretical (DFT) and experimental approach the mechanistic steps leading to the oxidation of aniline to nitrobenzene, when Se(iv) seleninic acid or Se(vi) selenonic acids are used as catalysts and H2O2 as the oxidant. This process encompasses three subsequent organoselenium mediated oxidations by H2O2. These results provide a mechanistic explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both oxidation states (iv and vi) in the different stages of catalytic oxygen-transfer reactions: hydrogen peroxide activation and actual substrate oxidation. While the Se(vi) "peroxyselenonic" acid is found to be a better oxidant, the privileged role of "peroxyseleninic" acid as the main active species is assessed and its origin is identified in the lower catalyst-distortion that seleninic acid undergoes when activating H2O2. Conversely, the higher catalyst-distortion that characterizes the reaction of selenonic acid with H2O2 supports an inactivating role of Se(iv) to Se(vi) interconversion.

Abstract
A series of linked-type 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles (1,5-DS-Ts) were synthesised via an isocyanide-based multicomponent reaction (IMCR) and used as synthetic platforms to access bound-type polyheterocycles containing an epoxyisoindol-1(6H)-one scaffold under green conditions. This rapid sonochemical synthetic strategy includes a double domino process using an orthogonal heterocyclic input in the Ugi-azide (UA) reaction. DFT calculations and NBO analysis were performed to understand the pseudopericyclic reaction involved in the 1,5-electrocyclization of the UA mechanism.

Abstract
ConspectusDue to its importance for electrolyzers or metal-air batteries for energy conversion or storage, there is huge interest in the development of high-performance materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Theoretical investigations have aided the search for active material motifs through the construction of volcano plots for the kinetically sluggish OER, which involves the transfer of four proton-electron pairs to form a single oxygen molecule. The theory-driven volcano approach has gained unprecedented popularity in the catalysis and energy communities, largely due to its simplicity, as adsorption free energies can be used to approximate the electrocatalytic activity by heuristic descriptors.In the last two decades, the binding-energy-based volcano method has witnessed a renaissance with special concepts being developed to incorporate missing factors into the analysis. To this end, this Account summarizes and discusses the different generations of volcano plots for the example of the OER. While first-generation methods relied on the assessment of the thermodynamic information for the OER reaction intermediates by means of scaling relations, the second and third generations developed strategies to include overpotential and kinetic effects into the analysis of activity trends. Finally, the fourth generation of volcano approaches allowed the incorporation of various mechanistic pathways into the volcano methodology, thus paving the path toward data- and mechanistic-driven volcano plots in electrocatalysis.Although the concept of volcano plots has been significantly expanded in recent years, further research activities are discussed by challenging one of the main paradigms of the volcano concept. To date, the evaluation of activity trends relies on the assumption of proton-coupled electron transfer steps (CPET), even though there is experimental evidence of sequential proton-electron transfer (SPET) steps. While the computational assessment of SPET for solid-state electrodes is ambitious, it is strongly suggested to comprehend their importance in energy conversion and storage processes, including the OER. This can be achieved by knowledge transfer from homogeneous to heterogeneous electrocatalysis and by focusing on the material class of single-atom catalysts in which the active center is well defined. The derived concept of how to analyze the importance of SPET for mechanistic pathways in the OER over solid-state electrodes could further shape our understanding of the proton-electron transfer steps at electrified solid/liquid interfaces, which is crucial for further progress toward sustainable energy and climate neutrality.

Abstract
The conversion of an azacalixpyridine-supported Mo(0) tricarbonyl into a Mo(VI) trioxo complex with dioxygen (O2) is investigated in homogeneous solution and in a molecular film adsorbed on Au(111) using a variety of spectroscopic and analytical methods. These studies in particular show that the dome-shaped carbonyl complex adsorbed on the metal surface has the ability to bind and activate gaseous oxygen, overcoming the so-called surface trans-effect. Furthermore, the rate of the conversion dramatically increases by irradiation with light. This observation is explained with the help of complementary DFT calculations and attributed to two different pathways, a thermal and a photochemical one. Based on the experimental and theoretical findings, a molecular mechanism for the conversion of the carbonyl to the oxo complex is derived.

Abstract
Magnesium-based catalysts are becoming popular for hydroelementation reactions specially using p-block reagents. Based on the seminal report from Schäfer's group (ChemCatChem 2022, 14, e202201007), our study demonstrates that the reaction mechanisms exhibit a far greater degree of complexity than originally presumed. Magnesium has a variety of coordination modes (and access to different hybridizations) which allows this electron-deficient centre to modulate its catalytic power depending on the σ-donor properties of the reagent. DFT calculations demonstrate several reaction channels closely operating in these versatile catalysts. In addition, variations in limiting energy barriers resulting from catalyst modifications were examined as a function of the Hammett constant, thereby predicting enhanced efficiency in reaction conversions.

Abstract
Improving the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for advancing sustainable and environmentally friendly hydrogen energy. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have emerged as promising electrocatalysts for the OER. However, a thorough understanding of the impact of structural disorder and defects on the catalytic activity of LDHs remains limited. In this work, a series of NiAl-LDH models are systematically constructed, and their OER performance is rigorously screened through theoretical density functional theory. The acquired results unequivocally reveal that the energy increase induced by structural disorder is effectively counteracted at the defect surface, indicating the coexistence of defects and disorder. Notably, it is ascertained that the simultaneous presence of defects and disorder synergistically augments the catalytic activity of LDHs in the context of the OER. These theoretical findings offer valuable insights into the design of highly efficient OER catalysts while also shedding light on the efficacy of LDH electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Phenylurea herbicides (PUHs) present one of the most important herbicides, which have cause serious effects on ecological environment and humans. Nowadays enzyme strategy shows great advantages in degradation of PUHs. Here density functional theory (DFT), quantitative structure - activity relationship (QSAR) and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approaches are used to investigate the degradation mechanism of PUHs catalyzed by P450 enzymes. Two successive N-demethylation pathways are identified and two hydrogen abstraction (H-abstraction) reaction pathways are identified as the rate-determining step through high-throughput DFT calculations. The Boltzmann-weighted average energy barrier of the second H-abstraction pathway (19.95 kcal/mol) is higher than that of the first H-abstraction pathway (16.80 kcal/mol). Two QSAR models are established to predict the energy barriers of the two H-abstraction pathways based on the quantum chemical descriptors and mordred molecular descriptors. The determination coefficient (R2) values of QSAR models are > 0.9, which reveal that the established QSAR models have great predictive capability. QM/MM calculations indicate that human P450 enzymes are more efficient in degradation of PUHs than crop and weed P450 enzymes. Correlations between energy barriers and key structural/charge parameters are revealed and key parameters that have influence on degradation efficiency of PUHs are identified. This study provides lateral insights into the biodegradation strategy and removal method of PUHs and valuable information for designing or engineering of highly efficient degradation enzymes and genetically modified crops.

Abstract
AbstractEin genaues Verständnis der Faktoren, welche die Lumineszenzlebensdauer von Übergangsmetallverbindungen bestimmen, ist für Anwendungen in der Photokatalyse und der photodynamischen Therapie von entscheidender Bedeutung. Die im Falle von [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy=2,2’‐Bipyridin) allgemein akzeptierte Theorie besagt, dass die Emissionslebensdauer durch Optimierung der Energiebarriere zwischen dem emittierenden Triplett‐Zustand des Metall‐Liganden‐Ladungstransfers (3MLCT) und dem thermisch aktivierten Triplett‐Zustand des Metall‐Zentrums (3MC), oder der Energielücke zwischen beiden Zuständen gesteuert werden kann. Hier zeigen wir, dass dies nicht allgemeingültig ist. Darüber hinaus demonstrieren wir, dass die Betrachtung eines einzelnen Relaxationspfades, der vom energetisch niedrigsten Minimum aus bestimmt wird, zu falschen Vorhersagen der temperaturabhängigen Emissionslebensdauer führt. Stattdessen erhalten wir eine ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen temperaturabhängigen Lebensdauern, wenn ein erweitertes kinetisches Modell herangezogen wird, welches alle Pfade im Zusammenhang mit mehreren Jahn–Teller‐Isomeren und ihren effektiven Reaktionsbarrieren beinhaltet. Diese Konzepte sind für das Design weiterer lumineszierender Übergangsmetallkomplexe mit individuell angepassten Emissionslebensdauern auf der Grundlage theoretischer Vorhersagen unerlässlich.

Abstract
Understanding the factors that determine the luminescence lifetime of transition metal compounds is key for applications in photocatalysis and photodynamic therapy. Here we show that for[ Ru ( bpy ) 3 ] 2 + ${[{\rm{Ru}}({\rm{bpy}})_{\rm{3}} ]^{{\rm{2 + }}} }$ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), the generally accepted idea that emission lifetimes can be controlled optimizing the energy barrier from the emissive triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (3 MLCT) state to the thermally-activated triplet metal-centered (3 MC) state or the energy gap between both states is a misconception. Further, we demonstrate that considering a single relaxation pathway determined from the minimum that is lowest in energy leads to wrong temperature-dependent emission lifetimes predictions. Instead, we obtain excellent agreement with experimental temperature-dependent lifetimes when an extended kinetic model that includes all the pathways related to multiple Jahn-Teller isomers and their effective reaction barriers is employed. These concepts are essential to correctly design other luminescent transition metal complexes with tailored emission lifetimes based on theoretical predictions.

Abstract
Stereoselective control of the cross metathesis of olefins is a crucial aspect of synthetic procedures. In this study, we utilized density functional theory methods to calculate thermodynamic and kinetic descriptors to explore the stereoselectivity of cross metathesis between allylbenzene and 2-butene-1,4-diyl diacetate. A ruthenium-based complex, characterized primarily by an anthracene-9-thiolate ligand, was designed in silico to completely restrict the E conformation of olefins through a bottom-bound mechanism. Our investigation of the kinetics of all feasible propagation routes demonstrated that Z-stereoisomers of metathesis products can be synthesized with an energy cost of only 13 kcal/mol. As a result, we encourage further research into the synthetic strategies outlined in this work.

Abstract
Pd(II) catalysts, particularly the acetate salt in acetic acid, tended to favor regioselective C-H activation of quinoline N-oxides (QOs) at the C2 position. However, Pd(II)Cl2 was shown to catalyze their C-H activation at C8 and, in the presence of water, C8-H activation was accompanied by the formation of 2-quinolinones. The aim of the DFT study described in this work was to shed light on the complete mechanism of these competing catalytic reactions, when PdCl2 reacts with QO and benzaldehyde in dichloroethane. C-H activation of QO was the first step of the reaction and involved either a metallacycle, with a CQO-Pd(II) σ-bond and a C(8)-H-Pd(II) agostic bond, or an η3-QO complex, with three carbon atoms of the heteroring of QO binding PdCl2. The first situation led to the unusual C8 activation and the second to C2 activation. The σ-metallacycle undergoes C8-H activation and the energy of the TOF determining the transition state to form the product is ∼17 kcal mol-1, while for the reaction through the π-metallacycle (C2-H activation) the corresponding energy is higher (∼29 kcal mol-1) and thus is not competitive under the same conditions. The reaction proceeding through the σ-complex, activating the C8 position, is preferred, in agreement with experimental results. Both reactions involve oxidation of Pd(II) to Pd(IV) and the catalyst is regenerated. When small amounts of water are added to the reaction mixture, C8-H activation (acylation) results from the same σ-metallacycle with the same barrier, but the simultaneous formation of 2-quinolinones is more complicated. It starts with OH- attack at the C2 position, and is followed by the migration of two hydrogen atoms, and the final reductive elimination step ends with Pd(0). The higher barriers for the migration and reoxidation of Pd(0) are associated with the more demanding reaction conditions. The different reactivity of Pd(II)(OAc)2 under analogous conditions is clarified, as it is only capable of forming the above mentioned π-complex and thus of activating the C2 position of QO. This catalyst can preferentially activate the C8-H bond under rather different conditions, including in particular acetic acid medium, as shown by other authors.

Abstract
Today's demand for precisely predicting chemical reactions from first principles requires research to go beyond Gibbs' free energy diagrams and consider other effects such as concentrations and quantum tunneling. The present work introduces overreact, a novel Python package for propagating chemical reactions over time using data from computational chemistry only. The overreact code infers all differential equations and parameters from a simple input that consists of a set of chemical equations and quantum chemistry package outputs for each chemical species. We evaluate some applications from the literature: gas-phase eclipsed-staggered isomerization of ethane, gas-phase umbrella inversion of ammonia, gas-phase degradation of methane by chlorine radical, and three solvation-phase reactions. Furthermore, we comment on a simple solvation-phase acid-base equilibrium. We show how it is possible to achieve reaction profiles and information matching experiments.

Abstract
Secondary-sphere interactions are often harnessed to control reactivity and selectivity in organometallic and enzymatic catalysis. Yet, such strategies have only recently been explicitly applied in the context of organocatalytic systems. Although increased stability, reproducibility, and selectivity were obtained in previous work using this approach, the precise mechanistic pathway promoted by secondary-sphere modification in organocatalysis remained unclear. Herein, we report a comprehensive mechanistic study on the origin of the unique reactivity patterns and stereocontrol observed with boronic acids (BAs) as secondary-sphere modifiers of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysts. Kinetic experiments revealed partial order in catalyst upon the addition of BA and unusual preactivation behavior, indicating the presence of stable off-cycle catalyst aggregation and BA-base adducts. These hypotheses were supported both by computations and by a series of NMR and nonlinear effect experiments. Furthermore, computations indicated a rate-limiting, water-assisted hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. This finding led to a considerable enhancement in the experimental reaction rate while maintaining excellent enantioselectivity by adding catalytic amounts of water. Finally, computations and racemization experiments uncovered an uncommon Curtin-Hammett-controlled enantioselectivity in the presence of secondary-sphere modifiers.

Abstract
The mechanism of how oxygen affects cumene autoxidation related to temperature is still bewildering. Kinetic analysis of cumene autoxidation with air at a pressure of 1.0 atm was investigated by experiments and variational transition state theory/DFT. Oxygen was the limiting factor for cumene autoxidation above 100 °C, although it had negligible impacts on cumene autoxidation at 70-100 °C. The kinetic analysis by VTST coupled with DFT calculations proved that {k 6,reverse[ROO•]}/{k 7,forward[RH]0 [ROO•]} > 103 (70-120 °C), suggesting that ROO• tended to decompose back to R• and O2 rapidly, whereas it was much slower for ROO• abstracting a hydrogen atom from RH to form ROOH. When the concentration of oxygen was higher than the critical value ([O2]critical), it could not significantly affect the equilibrium concentration of ROO•, which in turn could not affect the autoxidation rate significantly. Besides, the critical oxygen concentration ([O2]critical) was exponentially related to 1/T, which was consistent with Hattori's experimental results.

Abstract
Exploring highly active and cost-efficient single-atom catalysts (SACs) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical for the large-scale application of Zn-air battery. Herein, density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that the intrinsic ORR activity of the active metal of SACs follows the trend of Co > Fe > Ni ≈ Cu, in which Co SACs possess the best ORR activity due to its optimized spin density. Guided by DFT calculations, four kinds of transition metal single atoms embedded in 3D porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (MSAs@PNCN, M = Co, Ni, Fe, Cu) are synthesized via a facile NaCl-template assisted strategy. The resulting MSAs@PNCN displays ORR activity trend in lines with the theoretical predictions, and the Co SAs@PNCN exhibits the best ORR activity (E1/2 = 0.851 V), being comparable to that of Pt/C under alkaline conditions. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra verify the atomically dispersed Co-N4 sites are the catalytically active sites. The highly active CoN4 sites and the unique 3D porous structure contribute to the outstanding ORR performance of Co SAs@PNCN. Furthermore, the Co SAs@PNCN catalyst is employed as cathode in Zn-air battery, which can deliver a large power density of 220 mW cm-2 and maintain robust cycling stability over 530 cycles.

Abstract
Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic development. To that goal, hydrogen is presumed to be the most promising energy carrier. Electrocatalytic water splitting, if driven by green electricity, would provide hydrogen with minimal CO2 footprint. The viability of water electrolysis still hinges on the availability of durable earth-abundant electrocatalyst materials and the overall process efficiency. This review spans from the fundamentals of electrocatalytically initiated water splitting to the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research, also covering specifications and special features of the current industrial processes and those processes currently being tested in large-scale applications. Recently developed strategies are described for the optimisation and discovery of active and durable materials for electrodes that ever-increasingly harness first-principles calculations and machine learning. In addition, a technoeconomic analysis of water electrolysis is included that allows an assessment of the extent to which a large-scale implementation of water splitting can help to combat climate change. This review article is intended to cross-pollinate and strengthen efforts from fundamental understanding to technical implementation and to improve the 'junctions' between the field's physical chemists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as stimulate much-needed exchange among these groups on challenges encountered in the different domains.

Abstract
Herein, we report a fully detailed mechanistic study involving an organocatalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition via enolate or stabilized vinylogous carbanion intermediates and azide for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles. A detailed investigation of the elementary steps, intermediates, and transition states of the two organocatalyzed metal-free click reactions is supported by DFT calculations and 1H NMR monitoring experiments, providing detailed profiles for both reaction mechanisms. Distortion-interaction activation-strain (DIAS) analysis was also employed to further elucidate the regioselectivity in both reactions.

Abstract
In this work, first-principles calculations by using density functional theory at the GFN-xTB level, are performed to investigate the relative stability and structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of bimetallic Pt13−nNin (n = 0, 3, 6, 9, 13) nanoclusters by using corrected Hammer and Nørskov model. In addition, by employing the reaction path and the energetic span models, the energy profile and the turnover frequency are calculated to disclose the corresponding reaction mechanism of the water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by these nanoclusters. Our findings render that Ni causes an overall shrinking of the nanocluster’s size and misalignment of the spin channels, increasing the magnetic nature of the nanoclusters. Pt7Ni6 nanocluster is the most stable as a result of the better coupling between the Pt and Ni d-states. Pt4Ni9 maintains its structure over the reaction cycle, with a larger turnover frequency value than Pt7Ni6. On the other hand, despite Pt10Ni3 presenting the highest value of turnover frequency, it suffers a strong structural deformation over the completion of a reaction cycle, indicating that the catalytic activity can be altered.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have the potential to disrupt the photovoltaics market based on their high performance and low cost. However, the decomposition of perovskites under moisture, oxygen, and light raises concerns about service lifetime, especially because degradation mechanisms and the corresponding rate laws that fit the observed data have thus far eluded researchers. Here, we report a water-accelerated photooxidation mechanism dominating the degradation kinetics of archetypal perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 in air under >1% relative humidity at 25 °C. From this mechanism, we develop a kinetic model that quantitatively predicts the degradation rate as a function of temperature, ambient O2 and H2O levels, and illumination. Because water is a possible product of dry photooxidation, these results highlight the need for encapsulation schemes that rigorously block oxygen ingress, as product water may accumulate beneath the encapsulant and initiate the more rapid water-accelerated photooxidative decomposition.

Abstract
![]()
Although highly selective
complexes for the cross-metathesis of
olefins, particularly oriented toward the productive metathesis of Z-olefins, have been reported in recent years, there is
a constant need to design and prepare new and improved catalysts for
this challenging reaction. In this work, guided by density functional
theory (DFT) calculations, the performance of a Ru-based catalyst
chelated to a sulfurated pincer in the olefin metathesis was computationally
assessed. The catalyst was designed based on the Hoveyda–Grubbs
catalyst (SIMes)Cl2Ru(=CH–o–OiPrC6H4) through the substitution
of chlorides with the chelator bis(2-mercaptoimidazolyl)methane. The
obtained thermodynamic and kinetic data of the initiation phase through
side- and bottom-bound mechanisms suggest that this system is a versatile
catalyst for olefin metathesis, as DFT predicts the highest energy
barrier of the catalytic cycle of ca. 20 kcal/mol, which is comparable
to those corresponding to the Hoveyda–Grubbs-type catalysts.
Moreover, in terms of the stereoselectivity evaluated through the
propagation phase in the metathesis of propene–propene to 2-butene,
our study reveals that the Z isomer can be formed
under a kinetic control. We believe that this is an interesting outcome
in the context of future exploration of Ru-based catalysts with sulfurated
chelates in the search for high stereoselectivity in selected reactions.

Abstract
We studied the effect of water clusters on the NH3 + OH reaction at both the DFT and CCSD(T) levels. The calculated rate constants for the pure reaction are 2.07 × 10−13 and 1.35 × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 in the gas and liquid phases, respectively, and the gas-phase rate constants are consistent with the corresponding experimental result (1.70 × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1), while the liquid-phase rate constants are slightly smaller than the experimental value (5.84 × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1). In the gas phase, the presence of (H2O)n (n = 1–3) decreases the rate constant compared to the pure NH3 + OH reaction, and these results are in agreement with many reported H2O-catalyzed reactions. For the liquid phase reaction, compared with the case of n = 0–3, when the size of the water molecule cluster surrounding the OH radical is n = 13, the rate constant of the title reaction increases. Our study also shows that proton transfer is also a factor which accelerates the liquid phase NH3 + OH reaction. We used DFT and CCSD(T) methods with PCM solvation model to study the water cluster effect and solvation effect on the NH3 + OH reaction.![]()

Abstract
Chemists have many options for elucidating reaction mechanisms. Global kinetic analysis and classic transition-state probes (e.g., LFERs, Eyring) inevitably form the cornerstone of any strategy, yet their application to increasingly sophisticated synthetic methodologies often leads to a wide range of indistinguishable mechanistic proposals. Computational chemistry provides powerful tools for narrowing the field in such cases, yet wholly simulated mechanisms must be interpreted with great caution. Heavy-atom kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) offer an exquisite but underutilized method for reconciling the two approaches, anchoring the theoretician in the world of calculable observables and providing the experimentalist with atomistic insights. This Perspective provides a personal outlook on this synergy. It surveys the computation of heavy-atom KIEs and their measurement by NMR spectroscopy, discusses recent case studies, highlights the intellectual reward that lies in alignment of experiment and theory, and reflects on the changes required in chemical education in the area.

Abstract
The catalytic hydroarylation of nonactivated alkenes with aniline is a reaction of high interest, aiming at providing C-functionalized aniline derivatives that are important precursors for the fabrication of polyurethanes. However, this reaction remains a longstanding goal of catalysis, as it requires one to simultaneously address two important goals: (1) the very low reactivity of nonactivated alkenes and (2) control of the hydroarylation/hydroamination selectivity. As a result, the hydroarylation of aniline is mostly restricted to activated alkenes (i.e., featuring ring strain, conjugation, or activation with electron-donating or -withdrawing groups). Here we show that the combination of bismuth triflate and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) leads to the formation of highly active catalytic species capable of promoting the hydroarylation of various nonactivated alkenes, such as 1-octene, 1-heptene, and 1-undecene, among others, with aniline with high selectivity (71-92%). Through a combined experimental and computational investigation, we propose a reaction pathway where HFIP stabilizes the rate-determining transition state through a H-bond interaction with the triflate anion, thus assisting the acid catalyst in the hydroarylation of nonactivated alkenes. From a practical point of view, this work opens a catalytic access to C-functionalized aniline derivatives from two cheap and abundant feedstocks in a 100% atom-economical fashion.

Abstract
Predictive catalysis must be the tool that does not replace experiments, but acts as a selective agent, so that synthetic strategies of maximum profitability are used in the laboratory in a surgical way. Here, nanotechnology has been used in olefin metathesis from homogeneous Ru-NHC catalysts, specifically annulating a C60 fullerene to the NHC ligand. Based on results with the C60 in the backbone, a sterile change with respect to the catalysis of the metal center, an attempt has been made to bring C60 closer to the metal, by attaching it to one of the two C-N bonds of the imidazole group of the SIMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) ligand (reference NHC ligand of the 2nd generation Grubbs catalysts) to increase the steric pressure of C60 in the first sphere of reactivity of the metal. The DFT calculated thermodynamics and the kinetics of SIMes-derived systems show that they are efficient catalysts for olefin metathesis.

Abstract
Work on the synthesis of [2.2]paracyclophane/9-alkylfluorene hybrids led to the discovery of the rearrangement of cyclopentadienone 7 to cyclophane 6. A DFT computational study revealed that this formal 1,3-alkyl shift occurs in two steps, but requires the participation of a solvent molecule (ethanol). The rearrangement could be avoided by generating 7 under mild conditions and using benzynes as dienophiles to afford the targeted cyclophanes 14 and 16, the latter of which exhibits dual fluorescence emission.

Abstract
The reactions of terminal acetylenes with doubly Lewis base-stabilised diborenes resulted in different outcomes depending on the nature of the ligands at boron and the conformation of the diborene (cyclic versus acyclic). N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilised diborenes tended to undergo anti-selective hydroalkynylation at room temperature, whereas [2 + 2] cycloaddition was observed at higher temperatures, invariably followed by a C–N bond activation at one NHC ligand, leading to the ring-expansion of the initially formed BCBC ring and formation of novel boron-containing heterocycles. For phosphine-stabilised diborenes only [2 + 2] cycloaddition was observed, followed by a rearrangement of the resulting 1,2-dihydro-1,2-diborete to the corresponding 1,3-isomer, which amounts to complete scission of both the B

B double and CC triple bonds of the reactants. The elusive 1,2-isomer was finally trapped by using a cyclic phosphine-stabilised diborene, which prevented rearrangement to the 1,3-isomer. Extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a rationale for the selectivity observed. The outcome of reactions between diborenes and terminal alkynes can be tuned by varying the stabilising Lewis base and/or reaction conditions, to yield either the anti-hydroalkynylation product or [2 + 2] cycloaddition-derived boron heterocycles.![]()

Abstract
The oxidation of alcohols plays a central role in the valorisation of biomass, in particular when performed with a non-toxic oxidant such as O2. Aerobic oxidation of methanol on gold has attracted attention lately and the main steps of its mechanism have been described experimentally. However, the exact role of O and OH on each elementary step and the effect of the interactions between adsorbates are still not completely understood. Here we investigate the mechanism of methanol oxidation to HCOOCH3 and CO2. We use Density Functional Theory (DFT) to assess the energetics of the underlying pathways, and subsequently build lattice kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) models of increasing complexity, to elucidate the role of different oxygenates. Detailed comparisons of our simulation results with experimental temperature programmed desorption (TPD) spectra enable us to validate the mechanism and identify rate determining steps. Crucially, taking into account dispersion (van der Waals forces) and adsorbate-adsorbate lateral interactions are both important for reproducing the experimental data.

Abstract
Recent studies have found that hydroxide elimination and the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond formation step in base-promoted aldol condensation have a strong influence on the overall rate of the reaction, in contrast to the well-accepted first enolization or C-C bond formation step. Here, applying theoretical models to the prototypical reaction of chalcone formation, the complete free energy profile of Claisen-Schmidt condensation is assessed, revealing how a protic solvent and a slight increase in temperature can induce the second enolization as the rate-controlling step (RCS). It is also observed: i) the nonexistence of a step with a much higher energetic barrier than the others, making the concept of RCS debatable; and ii) that the overall inverse kinetic isotopic effect does not exclude second enolization as a RCS in protic continuum medium. We expect that these results can expand the understanding of the decisive role of physicochemical factors on the choose of the RCS in the aldol condensation.

Abstract
Hydrosilylation of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double and C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C triple bonds is one of the most widely used processes in organosilicon chemistry, mostly catalyzed by Pt-based complexes. We report here the synthesis of an air-stable dicationic Zn2+-based complex in a hemilabile tris(2-methyl-6-pyridylmethyl) phosphine (TmPPh) ligand, 12+[B(C6F5)4]2. When heated, 12+[B(C6F5)4]2 activates Si-H bonds reversibly via ligand/metal cooperation between Lewis acidic Zn2+ and Lewis basic N centers in a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) type fashion. Consequently, 12+[B(C6F5)4]2 was found to be an effective catalyst for hydrosilylation reactions of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double and C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C triple bonds. Remarkably, these hydrosilylation reactions can be loaded under aerobic conditions, as well as, in some cases, work under neat conditions. The mechanism of the activation of the Si-H bond and the hydrosilylation reaction is proposed based on experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
We report here cobalt-N-heterocyclic carbene catalytic systems for the intramolecular decarbonylative coupling through the chelation-assisted C-C bond cleavage of acylindoles and diarylketones. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups such as alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl groups, giving the decarbonylative products in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation involves the cleavage of two C-C bonds and formation of a new C-C bond without the use of noble metals, thus reinforcing the potential application of decarbonylation as an effective tool for C-C bond formation.

Abstract
An efficient catalytic method to convert an α-C-H bond of N-alkylamines into an α-C-alkynyl bond was developed. In the past, such transformations were carried out under oxidative conditions, and the enantioselective variants were confined to tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives. Here, we disclose a method for the union of N-alkylamines and trimethylsilyl alkynes, without the presence of an external oxidant and promoted through cooperative actions of two Lewis acids, B(C6F5)3 and a Cu-based complex. A variety of propargylamines can be synthesized in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The utility of the approach is demonstrated by the late-stage site-selective modification of bioactive amines. Kinetic investigations that shed light on various mechanistic nuances of the catalytic process are presented.

Abstract
Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse structures and compositions enable them to be useful materials as catalysts in heterogeneous reactions, electrical conductors in energy storage and transfer applications, chromophores in photoenabled chemical transformations, and beyond. In all cases, density functional theory (DFT) and higher-level methods for electronic structure determination provide valuable quantitative information about the electronic properties that underpin the functions of these frameworks. However, there are only two general modeling approaches in conventional electronic structure software packages: those that treat materials as extended, periodic solids, and those that treat materials as discrete molecules. Each approach has features and benefits; both have been widely employed to understand the emergent chemistry that arises from the formation of the metal-organic interface. This Review canvases these approaches to date, with emphasis placed on the application of electronic structure theory to explore reactivity and electron transfer using periodic, molecular, and embedded models. This includes (i) computational chemistry considerations such as how functional, k-grid, and other model variables are selected to enable insights into MOF properties, (ii) extended solid models that treat MOFs as materials rather than molecules, (iii) the mechanics of cluster extraction and subsequent chemistry enabled by these molecular models, (iv) catalytic studies using both solids and clusters thereof, and (v) embedded, mixed-method approaches, which simulate a fraction of the material using one level of theory and the remainder of the material using another dissimilar theoretical implementation.
