Abstract
The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application of a new phosphine-free, well-defined, water-soluble, and air-stable Mn(II)-catalyst [Mn(L)(H2O)2Cl](Cl) ([1]Cl) featuring a 1,10-phenanthroline based tridentate pincer ligand, 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (L), in dehydrogenative functionalization of alcohols to various N-heterocycles such as quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, quinolines, and quinoxalines are reported here. A wide array of multisubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were prepared in water under air following two pathways via the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with 2-aminobenzamides and 2-aminobenzonitriles, respectively. 2-Aminobenzyl alcohol and ketones bearing active methylene group were used as coupling partners for synthesizing quinoline derivatives, and various quinoxaline derivatives were prepared by coupling vicinal diols and 1,2-diamines. In all cases, the reaction proceeded smoothly using our Mn(II)-catalyst [1]Cl in water under air, affording the desired N-heterocycles in satisfactory yields starting from cheap and readily accessible precursors. Gram-scale synthesis of the compounds indicates the industrial relevance of our synthetic strategy. Control experiments were performed to understand and unveil the plausible reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Peptides that self-assemble exhibit distinct three-dimensional structures and attributes, positioning them as promising candidates for biocatalysts. Exploring their catalytic processes enhances our comprehension of the catalytic actions inherent to self-assembling peptides, laying a theoretical foundation for creating novel biocatalysts. The investigation into the intricate reaction mechanisms of these entities is rendered challenging due to the vast variability in peptide sequences, their aggregated formations, supportive elements, structures of active sites, types of catalytic reactions, and the interplay between these variables. This complexity hampers the elucidation of the linkage between sequence, structure, and catalytic efficiency in self-assembling peptide catalysts. This chapter delves into the latest progress in understanding the mechanisms behind peptide self-assembly, serving as a catalyst in hydrolysis and oxidation reactions, and employing computational analyses. It discusses the establishment of models, selection of computational strategies, and analysis of computational procedures, emphasizing the application of modeling techniques in probing the catalytic mechanisms of peptide self-assemblies. It also looks ahead to the potential future trajectories within this research domain. Despite facing numerous obstacles, a thorough investigation into the structural and catalytic mechanisms of peptide self-assemblies, combined with the ongoing advancement in computational simulations and experimental methodologies, is set to offer valuable theoretical insights for the development of new biocatalysts, thereby significantly advancing the biocatalysis field.

Abstract
The acceptorless dehydrogenation of methanol to produce carbon monoxide (CO) and dihydrogen (H2) mediated by MACHO-type 1-Ru and 1-Mn complexes was theoretically investigated via density functional theory calculations. The 1-Ru-catalyzed process involves the formation of active species 4-Ru through a methanol-bridged H2 release pathway. Methanol dehydrogenation by 4-Ru yields formaldehyde and 1-Ru, followed by H2 release to regenerate 4-Ru (rate-determining step, ΔG‡ = 32.5 kcal/mol). Formaldehyde further reacts with methanol via nucleophilic attack of the MeO- ligand in the Ru complex (ΔG‡ = 9.6 kcal/mol), which is more favorable than the traditional methanol-to-formaldehyde nucleophilic attack (ΔG‡ = 33.8 kcal/mol) due to the higher nucleophilicity of MeO-. CO is ultimately produced through the methyl formate decarbonylation reaction. Accelerated H2 release in the early reaction stage compared to CO results from the initial methanol dehydrogenation and condensation of formaldehyde with methanol. In contrast, CO generation occurs later via methyl formate decarbonylation. The 1-Mn-catalyzed reaction has reduced efficiency compared to 1-Ru for the higher Gibbs energy barrier (ΔG‡ = 34.1 kcal/mol) of the rate-determining step. Excess NaOtBu promotes the reaction of CO and methanol, forming methyl formate, significantly reducing the CO/H2 ratio as the catalyst amount decreases. These findings deepen our understanding of the methanol-to-syngas transformation and can drive progress in this field.

Abstract
An unexpected reversal in catalytic activity for acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling compared to acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation has been observed using a series of cationic Ru(II)-CNC pincer complexes with different ancillary ligands. In continuation of our study of cationic Ru(II)-CNC pincer complexes 1a-6a, new complexes with bulky N-wingtips [Ru(CNCiPr)(CO)(PPh3)Br]PF6 (1b), [Ru(CNCCy)(CO)(PPh3)Cl]PF6 (1c), [Ru(CNCCy)(CO)(PPh3)H]PF6 (2c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(PPh3)2Cl]PF6 (3b), [Ru(CNCCy)(PPh3)2Cl]PF6 (3c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(PPh3)2H]PF6 (4b), [Ru(CNCCy)(PPh3)2H]PF6 (4c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(DMSO)2Cl]PF6 (6b), and [Ru(CNCCy)(DMSO)2Cl]PF6 (6c) [CNCR = 2,6-bis(1-alkylimidazol-2-ylidene)-pyridine] have been synthesized and the catalytic activities of the new complexes have been compared with their N-methyl analogues for transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone and acceptorless dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol. Furthermore, all complexes have been utilized as catalysts in the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohol with amines. While the catalytic activities of the new complexes for transfer hydrogenation and acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation were found to be in line with the previously observed trend based on the ancillary ligands (CO > COD > DMSO > PPh3), for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reaction, complexes containing PPh3 and DMSO ligands performed better compared to complexes containing CO and COD ligands. Based on NMR and mass investigation of catalytic reactions, a plausible mechanism has been suggested to explain the difference in catalytic activity and its reversal during the dehydrogenative coupling reaction. Furthermore, the substrate scope for the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohol with a wide range of amines has been explored, including synthesizing some pharmaceutically important imines. All new complexes have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, and the structures of 4b and 6b have been confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

Abstract
The homogeneous catalysis of epoxide hydrogenolysis to give alcohols has recently received significant attention. Catalyst systems have been developed for the selective formation of either the Markovnikov (branched) or anti-Markovnikov (linear) alcohol product. Thus far, the reported catalysts exhibiting Markovnikov selectivity all feature the potential for Noyori/Shvo-type bifunctional catalysis, with either a RuH/NH or FeH/OH core structure. The proposed mechanisms of epoxide ring-opening have involved cooperative C-O bond hydrogenolysis involving the metal hydride and the acidic pendant group on the ligand, in analogy to the well-documented mechanism of polar double-bond hydrogenation exhibited by catalysts of this type. In this work, we present a combined computational/experimental study of the mechanism of epoxide hydrogenolysis catalyzed by Noyori-type PNP and PNN complexes of ruthenium. We find that, at least for these ruthenium systems, the previously proposed bifunctional pathway for epoxide ring-opening is energetically inaccessible; instead, the ring-opening proceeds through opposite-side nucleophilic attack of the ruthenium hydride on the epoxide carbon, without the involvement of the ligand N-H group. For both catalyst systems, the rate law and overall barrier predicted by density functional theory (DFT) are consistent with the results from kinetic studies.

Abstract
Manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions have aroused widespread interest in recent years. Among the catalytic systems described, especially PNP- and NNP-Mn pincer catalysts have been reported for the hydrogenation of aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, aldimines and esters. Furthermore, NNP-Mn pincer compounds are efficient catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of less reactive amides, ureas, carbonates, and carbamates. Herein, the synthesis and application of specific imidazolylaminophosphine ligands and the corresponding Mn pincer complexes are described. These new catalysts have been characterized and studied by a combination of experimental and theoretical investigations, and their catalytic activities have been tested in several hydrogenation reactions with good to excellent performance. Especially, the reduction of N-heterocycles can be performed under very mild conditions.

Abstract
The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel properties. In this case, manganese, the third most abundant transition-metal in the Earth's crust, has emerged as one of the leading competitors. Accordingly, a large number of molecularly-defined Mn-complexes has been synthesized and employed for hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and hydroelementation reactions. In this regard, catalyst design is based on three pillars, namely, metal-ligand bifunctionality, ligand hemilability, and redox activity. Indeed, the developed catalysts not only differ in the number of chelating atoms they possess but also their working principles, thereby leading to different turnover numbers for product molecules. Hence, the critical assessment of molecularly defined manganese catalysts in terms of chelating atoms, reaction conditions, mechanistic pathway, and product turnover number is significant. Herein, we analyze manganese complexes for their catalytic activity, versatility to allow multiple transformations and their routes to convert substrates to target molecules. This article will also be helpful to get significant insight into ligand design, thereby aiding catalysis design.

Abstract
![]()
We have recently reported the previously
unknown synthesis of thioesters
by coupling thiols and alcohols (or aldehydes) with liberation of
H2, as well as the reverse hydrogenation of thioesters,
catalyzed by a well-defined ruthenium acridine-9H based pincer complex.
These reactions are highly selective and are not deactivated by the
strongly coordinating thiols. Herein, the mechanism of this reversible
transformation is investigated in detail by a combined experimental
and computational (DFT) approach. We elucidate the likely pathway
of the reactions, and demonstrate experimentally how hydrogen gas
pressure governs selectivity toward hydrogenation or dehydrogenation.
With respect to the dehydrogenative process, we discuss a competing
mechanism for ester formation, which despite being thermodynamically
preferable, it is kinetically inhibited due to the relatively high
acidity of thiol compared to alcohol and, accordingly, the substantial
difference in the relative stabilities of a ruthenium thiolate intermediate
as opposed to a ruthenium alkoxide intermediate. Accordingly, various
additional reaction pathways were considered and are discussed herein,
including the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohol to ester and the
Tischenko reaction coupling aldehyde to ester. This study should inform
future green, (de)hydrogenative catalysis with thiols and other transformations
catalyzed by related ruthenium pincer complexes.

Abstract
Among the known liquid organic hydrogen carriers, formic acid attracts increasing interest in the context of safe and reversible storage of hydrogen. Here, the first molecularly defined cobalt pincer complex is disclosed for the dehydrogenation of formic acid in aqueous medium under mild conditions. Crucial for catalytic activity is the use of the specific complex 3. Compared to related ruthenium and manganese complexes 7 and 8, this optimal cobalt complex showed improved performance. DFT computations support an innocent non-classical bifunctional outer-sphere mechanism on the triplet state potential energy surface.
