Abstract
Nickel chloride and thiolate complexes supported by benzene-pyridine-based nonsymmetrical PCN pincer ligands, [2-(tBu2PO)-6-(2-pyrindinyl-4-R)-C6H3]NiX (R = H, CH3, CF3; X = Cl, SH, SPh), were synthesized and fully characterized. The structures of these complexes and the catalytic reactivity of the chloride complexes were investigated along with the related POCOP counterparts [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiX (X = Cl, SH). It was found that the composition and substitution of the pincer backbone evidently influence the structures and catalytic reactivity. The Ni-P and Ni-Cipso bond lengths in the PCN complexes are significantly shorter than those in the POCOP complex. The Ni-Cl and Ni-S bond lengths in the PCN complexes are longer than those in the POCOP complexes. An electron rich pyrindinyl ring in the PCN complexes makes the Ni-Cl bond longer. The Ni-N bond length is more sensitive to the auxiliary ligand compared with the Ni-P bond length in the PCN complexes. The PCN chloride complexes were found to be active catalysts for selective hydration of nitriles to primary amides in the presence of NaOH at 80 °C and the catalytic activity increases with the increase of electron richness of the pyridinyl ring. However, the corresponding POCOP counterpart is inactive under the same conditions.

Abstract
This research showcases the machine learning (ML)-enabled homogeneous catalyst discovery to be employed in carbon dioxide hydrogenation. To achieve the desired turnover frequency (TOF), the electrophilicity of the central metal atom is a crucial factor in transition metal pincer complexes. The condensed Fukui function is a direct measure of the catalytic performance of these pincer complexes. Herein, we demonstrate that machine learning is a convenient and effiecient method to calculate condensed Fukui functions of the central metal atom. The electrophilicity values of 202 pincer complexes were calculated by using density functional theory (DFT) to train the ML model. The test data of the experimentally established pincer complexes show a direct linkage between calculated electrophilicity and experimental TOF. Further, this data was used to develop an ML protocol to screen 2,84,062 catalyst complexes to get the electrophilicity values of the Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni transition metals encompassing various permutation combinations of PNP, PNN, NNN, and PCP pincer ligands. These findings validate the efficacy of machine learning in the rapid screening of metal pincer catalysts based on condensed Fukui functions.

Abstract
In order to develop efficient protocols for CO2 reduction with less expensive and more convenient hydrogen sources, the catalytic reactivities of group 10 metal hydride complexes supported by a PNCNP pincer ligand, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MH (M = Ni, 1a; Pd, 1b; Pt, 1c), against the hydroboration of CO2 with NH3·BH3 and NaBH4 have been explored. Both 1a and 1b readily react with CO2 at room temperature to form the corresponding formato complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MOC(O)H (M = Ni, 2a; Pd, 2b), in nearly quantitative yields. Treatment of NH3·BH3 with CO2 (1 atm) in 1,4-dioxane or THF at room temperature in the presence of 0.05-1.0 mol % of 1b followed by hydrolysis of the resulting mixtures produces formic acid in 105-186% yields, and initial turnover frequencies of up to 2000 h-1 are observed. In the presence of 1.0 mol % of 1b, NaBH4 reacts with CO2 (1 atm) in THF at room temperature to form NaB[OC(O)H]4 (3) in 87% isolated yield. In situ NMR spectroscopy indicates that the reactions proceed through the insertion of the C═O bond in CO2 into the Pd-H bond in 1b to form 2b, which sequentially reacts with the hydrides in NH3·BH3 or NaBH4 to produce boron formato species and regenerate 1b. This work represents one of the rare examples of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of CO2 with NH3·BH3 to the formic acid level under very mild conditions without any additives and also the first example of 4 equiv of CO2 uptake by NaBH4 in a reaction.

Abstract
Chemists tend to use transition metal hydride complexes rather than thiolate complexes to catalyse chemical transformations because the hydride complexes possess diverse catalytic reactivity, although most of them are air/moisture-sensitive and difficult to prepare. By comparing the catalytic performances of pincer ligated group 10 metal thiolate and hydride complexes in catalysing the hydroboration and hydrosilylation of C=O and C=N bonds, we demonstrate in this review that transition metal thiolate complexes are much better catalysts than the corresponding hydride complexes in catalysing this type of reactions. Many hydroboration and hydrosilylation reactions catalysed by pincer ligated group 10 metal hydride complexes can also be catalysed by the corresponding thiolate complexes and the thiolate systems are far more active. Therefore, the applications of transition metal thiolate complexes in the catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-heteroatom bonds deserve special attention in future work.

Abstract
The coordination mode of the BH4- ligand in transition metal tetrahydroborate complexes is mainly dominated by the nature of the metal centres. However, other factors can also play important roles sometimes. In order to rationalize the coordination modes and the stability of the BH4- ligand in group 10 metal tetrahydroborate pincer complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]Pt(η1-HBH3) and [C6H4-o-(NCH2PtBu2)2B]M(η2-H2BH2) (M = Ni, Pt) were prepared and characterized. A structural comparison of [2,6-(tBu2PCH2)2C6H3]Ni(BH4), [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]M(BH4) and [C6H4-o-(NCH2PtBu2)2B]M(BH4) (M = Ni, Pd, and Pt) indicates that the M-P bond length, the P-M-P bite angle and the trans-influence of the central atom in the pincer platform also affect the coordination mode of the BH4- ligand. The nickel complexes tend to adopt a monodentate coordination mode while the palladium and platinum complexes can adopt either the monodentate or the bidentate mode depending on the structural features of the pincer platforms. Longer M-P bonds and smaller P-M-P bite angles favour the bidentate mode. The stability of the BH4- ligand is influenced by both the coordination mode and the nature of the metal centre. The BH3 species is released more easily from complexes with less electron rich metal centres. Following the series of Ni, Pd, and Pt, complexes with the same pincer ligand more easily lose a BH3 moiety.

Abstract
Diphosphino-boryl-based PBP pincer platinum thiolate complexes, [Pt(SR){B(NCH2PtBu2)2-1,2-C6H4}] (R = H, 1a; Ph, 1b), and benzene-based bisphosphinite POCOP pincer platinum thiolate complexes, [Pt(SR)(tBu2PO)2-1,3-C6H3] (R = H, 2a; Ph, 2b), were prepared and fully characterized by multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography, HRMS and elemental analyses. The application of these complexes in the catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones was investigated. It was found that these platinum thiolate complexes are efficient catalysts for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones at 65-75 °C. Comparatively, the PBP complexes are more active than the corresponding POCOP complexes. Both phenylsilane and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) can be used as silyl reagents. The expected alcohols were obtained in good to excellent yields after the basic hydrolysis of the hydrosilylation products and many functional groups were not affected. With turnover frequencies (TOFs) of up to 67 000 h-1, the present catalytic system represents the most effective platinum catalytic system for the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds. The reactions were likely catalysed by the in situ generated platinum hydride species.
