Abstract
Starting from the dinickel(II) dihydride complex [ML(Ni-H)2] (1M), where L3- is a bis(tridentate) pyrazolate-bridged bis(β-diketiminato) ligand and M+ is Na+ or K+, a series of complexes [KLNi2(S2)] (2K), [MLNi2S] (3M), [LNi2(SMe)] (4), and [LNi2(SH)] (5) has been prepared. The μ-sulfido complexes 3M can be reversibly oxidized at E1/2 = -1.17 V (in THF; vs Fc+/Fc) to give [LNi2(S•)] (6) featuring a bridging S-radical. 6 has been comprehensively characterized, including by X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, EPR and XAS/XES spectroscopies, and DFT calculations. The pKa of the μ-hydrosulfido complex 5 in THF is 30.8 ± 0.4, which defines a S-H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 75.1 ± 1.0 kcal mol-1. 6 reacts with H atom donors such as TEMPO-H and xanthene to give 5, while 5 reacts with 2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenoxy radical in a reverse H atom transfer to generate 6. These findings provide the first full characterization of a genuine M-(μ-S•-)-M complex and provide insights into its proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity, which is of interest in view of the prominence of M-(μ-SH/μ-S)-M units in biological systems and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Copper clusters feature prominently in both metalloenzymes and synthetic nanoclusters that mediate catalytic redox transformations of gaseous small molecules. Such reactions are critical to biological energy conversion and are expected to be crucial parts of renewable energy economies. However, the precise roles of individual metal atoms within clusters are difficult to elucidate, particularly for cluster systems that are dynamic under operating conditions. Here, we present a metal site-specific analysis of synthetic Cu4(μ4-S) clusters that mimic the Cu Z active site of the nitrous oxide reductase enzyme. Leveraging the ability to obtain structural snapshots of both inactive and active forms of the synthetic model system, we analyzed both states using resonant X-ray diffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS), a technique that enables X-ray absorption profiles of individual metal sites within a cluster to be extracted independently. Using DAFS, we found that a change in cluster geometry between the inactive and active states is correlated to Cu site differentiation that is presumably required for efficient activation of N2O gas. More precisely, we hypothesize that the Cu δ+⋯Cu δ- pairs produced upon site differentiation are poised for N2O activation, as supported by computational modeling. These results provide an unprecedented level of detail on the roles of individual metal sites within the synthetic cluster system and how those roles interplay with cluster geometry to impact the reactivity function. We expect this fundamental knowledge to inform understanding of metal clusters in settings ranging from (bio)molecular to nanocluster to extended solid systems involved in energy conversion.

Abstract
As part of the nitrogen cycle, environmental nitrous oxide (N2O) undergoes the N2O reduction reaction (N2ORR) catalyzed by nitrous oxide reductase, a metalloenzyme whose catalytic active site is a tetranuclear copper-sulfide cluster (CuZ). On the other hand, heterogeneous Cu catalysts on oxide supports are known to mediate decomposition of N2O (deN2O) by disproportionation. In this study, a CuZ model system supported by triazenide ligands is characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR and EPR spectroscopies, and electronic structure calculations. Although the triazenide-ligated Cu4(μ4-S) clusters are closely related to previous formamidinate derivatives, which differ only in replacement of a remote N atom for a CH group, divergent reactivity with N2O is observed. Whereas the formamidinate-ligated clusters were previously shown to mediate single-turnover N2ORR, the triazenide-ligated clusters are found to mediate deN2O, behavior that was previously unknown to natural or synthetic copper-sulfide clusters. The reaction pathway for deN2O by this model system, including previously unidentified transition state models for N2O activation in N-O cleavage and O-O coupling steps, are included. The divergent reactivity of these two related but subtly different systems point to key factors influencing behavior of Cu-based catalysts for N2ORR (i.e., CuZ) and deN2O (e.g., CuO/CeO2).

Abstract
Deoxygenation of nitrous oxide (N2O) has significant environmental implications, as it is not only a potent greenhouse gas but is also the main substance responsible for the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. This has spurred significant interest in molecular complexes that mediate N2O deoxygenation. Natural N2O reduction occurs via a Cu cofactor, but there is a notable dearth of synthetic molecular Cu catalysts for this process. In this work, we report a selective molecular Cu catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of N2O to N2 using H2O as the proton source. Cyclic voltammograms show that increasing the H2O concentration facilitates the deoxygenation of N2O, and control experiments with a Zn(II) analogue verify an essential role for Cu. Theory and spectroscopy support metal-ligand cooperative catalysis between Cu(I) and a reduced tetraimidazolyl-substituted radical pyridine ligand (MeIm4P2Py = 2,6-(bis(bis-2-N-methylimidazolyl)phosphino)pyridine), which can be observed by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Comparison with biological processes suggests a common theme of supporting electron transfer moieties in enabling Cu-mediated N2O reduction.

Abstract
The active site of nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), a key enzyme in denitrification, features a unique μ4-sulfido-bridged tetranuclear Cu cluster (the so-called CuZ or CuZ* site). Details of the catalytic mechanism have remained under debate and, to date, synthetic model complexes of the CuZ*/CuZ sites are extremely rare due to the difficulty in building the unique {Cu4(μ4-S)} core structure. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of [Cu4(μ4-S)]n+ (n = 2, 2; n = 3, 3) clusters, supported by a macrocyclic {py2NHC4} ligand (py = pyridine, NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene), in both their 0-hole (2) and 1-hole (3) states, thus mimicking the two active states of the CuZ* site during enzymatic N2O reduction. Structural and electronic properties of these {Cu4(μ4-S)} clusters are elucidated by employing multiple methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV/vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Cu/S K-edge X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), and Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in combination with time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. A significant geometry change of the {Cu4(μ4-S)} core occurs upon oxidation from 2 (τ4(S) = 0.46, seesaw) to 3 (τ4(S) = 0.03, square planar), which has not been observed so far for the biological CuZ(*) site and is unprecedented for known model complexes. The single electron of the 1-hole species 3 is predominantly delocalized over two opposite Cu ions via the central S atom, mediated by a π/π superexchange pathway. Cu K-edge XAS and Cu/S K-edge XES corroborate a mixed Cu/S-based oxidation event in which the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) has a significant S-character. Furthermore, preliminary reactivity studies evidence a nucleophilic character of the central μ4-S in the fully reduced 0-hole state.

Abstract
The deployment of metalloclusters in applications such as catalysis and materials synthesis requires robust methods for site-differentiation: the conversion of clusters with symmetric ligand spheres to those with unsymmetrical ligand spheres. However, imparting precise patterns of site-differentiation is challenging because, compared with mononuclear complexes, the ligands bound to clusters exert limited spatial and electronic influence on one another. Here, we report a method that employs sterically encumbering ligands to bind to only a subset of a cluster's coordination sites. Specifically, we show that homoleptic, phosphine-ligated Fe-S clusters undergo ligand substitution with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give heteroleptic clusters in which the resultant clusters' site-differentiation patterns are encoded by the steric profile of the incoming NHC. This method affords access to every site-differentiation pattern for cuboidal [Fe4S4] clusters and can be extended to other cluster types, particularly in the stereoselective synthesis of site-differentiated Chevrel-type [Fe6S8] clusters.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2 O) is a potent greenhouse and ozone-reactive gas for which emissions are growing rapidly due to increasingly intensive agriculture. Synthetic catalysts for N2 O decomposition typically contain precious metals and/or operate at elevated temperatures driving a desire for more sustainable alternatives. Here we demonstrate self-assembly of liposomal microreactors enabling catalytic reduction of N2 O to the climate neutral product N2 . Photoexcitation of graphitic N-doped carbon dots delivers electrons to encapsulated N2 O Reductase enzymes via a lipid-soluble biomolecular wire provided by the MtrCAB protein complex. Within the microreactor, electron transfer from MtrCAB to N2 O Reductase is facilitated by the general redox mediator methyl viologen. The liposomal microreactors use only earth-abundant elements to catalyze N2 O removal in ambient, aqueous conditions.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with limited use as a mild anesthetic and underdeveloped reactivity. Nitrous oxide splitting (decomposition) is critical to its mitigation as a GHG. Although heterogeneous catalysts for N2O decomposition have been developed, highly efficient, long-lived solid catalysts are still needed, and the details of the catalytic pathways are not well understood. Reported herein is a computational evaluation of three potential molecular (homogeneous) catalysts for N2O splitting, which could aid in the development of more active and robust catalysts and provide deeper mechanistic insights: one Cu(I)-based, [(CF3O)4Al]Cu (A-1), and two Ru(III)-based, Cl(POR)Ru (B-1) and (NTA)Ru (C-1) (POR = porphyrin, NTA = nitrilotriacetate). The structures and energetic viability of potential intermediates and key transition states are evaluated according to a two-stage reaction pathway: (A) deoxygenation (DO), during which a metal-N2O complex undergoes N-O bond cleavage to produce N2 and a metal-oxo species and (B) (di)oxygen evolution (OER), in which the metal-oxo species dimerizes to a dimetal-peroxo complex, followed by conversion to a metal-dioxygen species from which dioxygen dissociates. For the (F-L)Cu(I) activator (A-1), deoxygenation of N2O is facilitated by an O-bound (F-L)Cu-O-N2 or better by a bimetallic N,O-bonded, (F-L)Cu-NNO-Cu(F-L) complex; the resulting copper-oxyl (F-L)Cu-O is converted exergonically to (F-L)Cu-(η2,η2-O2)-Cu(F-L), which leads to dioxygen species (F-L)Cu(η2-O2), that favorably dissociates O2. Key features of the DO/OER process for (POR)ClRu (B-1) include endergonic N2O coordination, facile N2 evolution from LR'u-N2O-RuL to Cl(POR)RuO, moderate barrier coupling of Cl(POR)RuO to peroxo Cl(POR)Ru(O2)Ru(POR)Cl, and eventual O2 dissociation from Cl(POR)Ru(η1-O2), which is nearly thermoneutral. N2O decomposition promoted by (NTA)Ru(III) (C-1) can proceed with exergonic N2O coordination, facile N2 dissociation from (NTA)Ru-ON2 or (NTA)Ru-N2O-Ru(NTA) to form (NTA)Ru-O; dimerization of the (NTA)Ru-oxo species is facile to produce (NTA)Ru-O-O-Ru(NTA), and subsequent OE from the peroxo species is moderately endergonic. Considering the overall energetics, (F-L)Cu and Cl(POR)Ru derivatives are deemed the best candidates for promoting facile N2O decomposition.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in atmospheric photochemical reactions and contributes to stratospheric ozone depletion. Soils are the main sources of N2O emissions. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that soil is not only a source but also a sink of N2O uptake and consumption. N2O emissions at the soil surface are the result of gross N2O production, uptake, and consumption, which are co-occurring processes. Soil N2O uptake and consumption are complex biological processes, and their mechanisms are still worth an in-depth systematic study. This paper aimed to systematically address the current research progress on soil N2O uptake and consumption. Based on a bibliometric perspective, this study has highlighted the pathways of soil N2O uptake and consumption and their driving factors and measurement techniques. This systematic review of N2O uptake and consumption will help to further understand N transformations and soil N2O emissions.

The gaseous small molecules, CO2 and N2O, play important roles in climate change and ozone layer depletion, and they hold promise as underutilized reagents and chemical feedstocks. However, productive transformations of these heteroallenes are difficult to achieve because of their inertness. In nature, these gases are cycled through ecological systems by metalloenzymes featuring multimetallic active sites that employ cooperative mechanisms. Thus, cooperative bimetallic chemistry is an important strategy for synthetic systems, as well. In this Perspective, recent advances (since 2010) in cooperative activation of CO2 and N2O are reviewed, including examples involving s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block metals and different combinations thereof.

Abstract
Multimetallic redox cooperativity features heavily in both bioinorganic and synthetic reactions. Here, the electronic structure of the bimetallic Ti/Ti complex 11, [(Cp2Ti)2(O2C3TMS2)] has been revisited with EPR, confirming a predominantly TiIII/TiIII electronic structure. Reactions of 11 with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CNXyl), TMSCl, MeI, and BnCl were explored, revealing differential redox chemistry of the bimetallic core. In reactions with CNXyl and TMSCl, the metallacyclic TiIII center remained unperturbed, with reactions taking place at the pendent κ2(O,O)-titanocene fragment, while reaction with MeI resulted in remote oxidation of the metallacyclic Ti center, indicative of a cooperative redox process. All structures were studied via X-ray diffraction and EPR spectroscopic analysis, and their electronic structures are discussed in the context of the covalent bond classification (CBC) electron counting method.
