Abstract
Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a fundamental role in this process, providing novel, efficient, and at the same time eco-friendly routes for both chemicals and energy production. In particular, pincer-type ligation shows promising properties in terms of long-term stability and selectivity, as well as allowing for mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loading. Indeed, pincer complexes have been applied to a plethora of sustainable chemical processes, such as hydrogen release, CO2 capture and conversion, N2 fixation, and biomass valorization for the synthesis of high-value chemicals and fuels. In this work, we show the main advances of the last five years in the use of pincer transition metal complexes in key catalytic processes aiming for a more sustainable chemical and energy production.

Abstract
Dialkylation of the 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzene with ethyl bromide results in the formation of [L-H2]Br2 which, upon salt metathesis with NH4PF6, readily yields the bis(triazolium) salt [L-H2](PF6)2 with non-coordinating counterions. [L-H2](PF6)2 and Ag2O react in a 1 : 1 ratio to yield a binuclear AgI-tetracarbene complex of the composition [(L)2Ag2](PF6)2 which undergoes a facile transmetalation reaction with [Cu(SMe2)Br] to deliver the corresponding CuI-NHC complex [(L)2Cu2](PF6)2. In contrast, the [L-H2]Br2 reacts with [Ir(Cp*)Cl2]2 to generate a doubly C-H activated IrIII-NHC complex 5. Similarly, the triazolinylidene donor supported diorthometalated RuII-complex 6 is also obtained. Complexes 5 and 6 represent the first examples of a stable diorthometalated binuclear IrIII/RuII-complex supported by 1,2,4-triazolin-5-ylidene donors. The synthesized IrIII-NHC complex 5 is found to be more effective than its RuII-analogue (6) for the reduction of a range of alkenes/alkynes via the transfer hydrogenation strategy. Conversely, RuII-complex 6 is identified as an efficient catalyst (0.01 mol% loading) for the β-alkylation of a wide range of secondary alcohols using primary alcohols as alkylating partners via a borrowing hydrogen strategy.

Abstract
The reduction of the N≡C bond of benzonitriles promoted by OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) has been studied. Complex 1 releases a H2 molecule and coordinates 2,6-dimethylbenzonitrile to afford the tetrahydride OsH4{κ1- N-(N≡CC6H3Me2)}(PiPr3)2 (2), which is thermally stable toward the insertion of the nitrile into one of the Os-H bonds. In contrast to 2,6-dimethylbenzonitrile, benzonitrile and 2-methylbenzonitrile undergo insertion, via Os(η2-N≡CR) intermediates, to give the azavinylidene derivatives OsH3(═N═CC6H4R)(PiPr3)2 [R = H (3) or Me (4)]. The analysis by means of computational tools (EDA-NOCV) of the bonding situation in these compounds suggests that the donor-acceptor nature of the osmium azavinylidene bond dominates over the mixed electron-sharing/donor-acceptor and pure electron-sharing bonding modes. The N atom is strongly nucleophilic, whereas one of the hydrides is electrophilic. In spite of the different nature of these centers, the migration of the latter to the N atom is kinetically prevented. However, the use of water as a proton shuttle allows hydride migration, as a consequence of a significant decrease in the activation barrier. The resulting phenylaldimine intermediates evolve by means of orthometalation to give OsH3{κ2- N, C-(NH═CHC6H3R)}(PiPr3)2 [R = H (5) or Me (6)]. The presence of electrophilic and nucleophilic centers in 3 confers upon it the ability to activate σ-bonds, including H2 and pinacolborane (HBpin). The reaction with the latter gives OsH3{κ2- N, C-[N(Bpin)═CHC6H4]}(PiPr3)2 (7).

Abstract
A series of cationic half-sandwich cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium(II)-pyridylamine complexes, [(η5-C5H5)Ru(κ2-L)(PPh3)]+ (L = Namine-substituted pyridylamine ligands) ([Ru]-1-[Ru]-6), along with the analogous cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium(II)- N-isopropylpyridylimine complex [(η5-C5H5)Ru(κ2-L)(PPh3)]+ (L = N-isopropylpyridylimine) ([Ru]-7), have been synthesized in good yields. Structural identities of all the complexes have been authenticated by 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The synthesized complexes exhibited high catalytic activity for the transformation of the bio-derived furans, 2-furfural (furfural), 5-methyl-2-furfural (5-MF), and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF) to levulinic acid (LA) and the diketones, 3-hydroxyhexane-2,5-dione (3-HHD), 1-hydroxyhexane-2,5-dione (1-HHD), and hexane-2,5-dione (HD) in water. Efficient transformation of furfural to LA over a range of η5-Cp-Ru-pyridylamine complexes is substantially affected by the Namine-substituents, where a η5-Cp-Ru- N-propylpyridylamine complex ([Ru]-2) exhibited higher catalytic activity in comparison to other η5-Cp-Ru-pyridylamine and η5-Cp-Ru-pyridylimine complexes. The relative catalytic activity of the studied complexes demonstrated a substantial structure-activity relationship which is governed by the basicity of Namine, steric hindrance at Namine, and the hemilabile nature of the coordinated pyridylamine ligands.
