Abstract
We analyzed the ligand electronic effect in the reaction between a [LAu(I)H]0/- hydride species and CO2, leading to a coordinated formate [LAu(HCOO)]0/-. We explored 20 different ligands, such as carbenes, phosphines and others, carefully selected to cover a wide range of electron-donor and -acceptor properties. We included in the study the only ligand, an NHC-coordinated diphosphene, that, thus far, experimentally demonstrated facile and reversible reaction between the monomeric gold(I) hydride and carbon dioxide. We elucidated the previously unknown reaction mechanism, which resulted to be concerted and common to all the ligands: the gold-hydrogen bond attacks the carbon atom of CO2 with one oxygen atom coordinating to the gold center. A correlation between the ligand σ donor ability, which affects the electron density at the reactive site, and the kinetic activation barriers of the reaction has been found. This systematic study offers useful guidelines for the rational design of new ligands for this reaction, while suggesting a few promising and experimentally accessible potential candidates for the stoichiometric or catalytic CO2 activation.

Abstract
Activity descriptors are a powerful tool for the design of catalysts that can efficiently utilize H2 with minimal energy losses. In this study, we develop the use of hydricity and H- self-exchange rates as thermodynamic and kinetic descriptors for the hydrogenation of ketones by molecular catalysts. Two complexes with known hydricity, HRh(dmpe)2 and HCo(dmpe)2, were investigated for the catalytic hydrogenation of ketones under mild conditions (1.5 atm and 25 °C). The rhodium catalyst proved to be an efficient catalyst for a wide range of ketones, whereas the cobalt catalyst could only hydrogenate electron-deficient ketones. Using a combination of experiment and electronic structure theory, thermodynamic hydricity values were established for 46 alkoxide/ketone pairs in both acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran solvents. Through comparison of the hydricities of the catalysts and substrates, it was determined that catalysis was observed only for catalyst/ketone pairs with an exergonic H- transfer step. Mechanistic studies revealed that H- transfer was the rate-limiting step for catalysis, allowing for the experimental and computation construction of linear free-energy relationships (LFERs) for H- transfer. Further analysis revealed that the LFERs could be reproduced using Marcus theory, in which the H- self-exchange rates for the HRh/Rh+ and ketone/alkoxide pairs were used to predict the experimentally measured catalytic barriers within 2 kcal mol-1. These studies significantly expand the scope of catalytic reactions that can be analyzed with a thermodynamic hydricity descriptor and firmly establish Marcus theory as a valid approach to develop kinetic descriptors for designing catalysts for H- transfer reactions.

Abstract
The tetradentate PNNP-type IrIII complex Mes-IrPCY2 ([Cl-IrIII-H]+) is reported to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of CO2 to formate with excellent selectivity under visible light irradiation. Density functional calculations have been carried out to elucidate the mechanism and the origin of selectivity in the present work. Calculations suggest that the double-reduced complex 1-H (1[IrI-H]0) demonstrates higher activity than the single-reduced complex 2-H (2[IrIII(L˙-)-H]+), possibly owing to the higher hydride donor ability of the former compared to the latter; thus 1-H functions as the active species in the overall CO2 reduction reaction. In the HCOO- formation pathway, the hydride of 1-H performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2via an outer-sphere fashion to generate species 1-OCHO (1[IrI-OCHO]0), which then releases HCOO- to produce an IrI intermediate. A subsequent protonation and chloride coordination of the Ir center leads to the regeneration of catalyst 1[Cl-IrIII-H]+. For the CO production, a nucleophilic attack on CO2 takes place by the Ir atom of 1-Hvia an inner-sphere manner to afford complex O2C-3-H (1[O2C-IrIII-H]0), followed by a two-proton-one-electron reduction to furnish the OC-2-H complex (2[OC-IrIII(L˙-)-H]+) after liberating a H2O. Ultimately, CO is released to form 2-H. The stronger nucleophilicity as well as smaller steric hindrance of the hydride than the Ir atom of the active species 1-H (1[IrI-H]0) is found to account for the favoring of formate formation over CO formation. Meanwhile, the CO2 reduction reaction is calculated to be preferred over the hydrogen evolution reaction, and this is consistent with the experimental product distributions.

Abstract
The stepwise catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol opens non-fossil pathways to important platform chemicals. The present article aims at identifying molecular control parameters to steer the selectivity to the three distinct reduction levels using organometallic catalysts of earth-abundant first-row metals. A linear scaling relationship was developed to map the intrinsic reactivity of 3d transition metal pincer complexes to their activity and selectivity in CO2 hydrosilylation. The hydride affinity of the catalysts was used as a descriptor to predict activity/selectivity trends in a composite volcano picture, and the outstanding properties of cobalt complexes bearing bis(phosphino)triazine PNP-type pincer ligands to reach the three reduction levels selectively under different reaction conditions could thus be rationalized. The implications of the composite volcano picture were successfully experimentally validated with selected catalysts, and the challenging intermediate level of formaldehyde could be accessed in over 80% yield with the cobalt complex 6. The results underpin the potential of tandem computational-experimental approaches to propel catalyst design for CO2-based chemical transformations.

Abstract
Using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations, various elementary steps in the mechanism of the reductive hydroboration of CO2 to two-electron-reduced boryl formate, four-electron-reduced bis(boryl)acetal, and six-electron-reduced methoxy borane by the [Fe(H)2(dmpe)2] catalyst were established. The replacement of hydride by oxygen ligation after the boryl formate insertion step is the rate-determining step. Our work unveils, for the first time, (i) how a substrate steers product selectivity in this reaction and (ii) the importance of configurational mixing in contracting the kinetic barrier heights. Based on the reaction mechanism established, we have further focused on the effect of other metals, such as Mn and Co, on rate-determining steps and on catalyst regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, we have explored the catalytic reactivities of four PNP-pincer supported Fe(II) complexes, namely, [(iPrPNMeP)FeH2(CO)] (1), [(iPrPNMeP)FeH(CO)(BH4)] (2), [(iPrPNHP)FeH2(CO)] (3), and [(iPrPNMeP)FeH(BH4)] (4) (iPrPNMeP = MeN{CH2CH2(PiPr2)}2 and iPrPNHP = HN{CH2CH2(PiPr2)}2) toward reductive CO2 hydrogenation for formate production. Our density functional theory and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field study have identified three fundamental steps in this catalytic transformation: (i) anchoring of the CO2 molecule in the vicinity of the metal using noncovalent interactions, (ii) catalyst regeneration via H2 cleavage, and (iii) formate rebound step leading to catalytic poisoning. The variations in the catalytic efficiency observed among these catalysts were attributed to either easing of steps (i) and (ii) or the hampering step (iii). This can be achieved in various chemical/non-chemical ways, for instance, (a) incorporation of strong-field ligands such as CO facilitating single-state reactivity and eliminating two-state reactivity that generally enhances the rate and (b) inclusion of Lewis acids such as LiOTf and strong bases found to either avoid catalytic poisoning or ease the H-H cleavages, to enhance the rate of reaction (c) evading mixing of excited open-shell singlet states to the ground closed-shell singlet state that hampers the catalytic regeneration. We have probed the role of oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) in the entire mechanistic profile for the best and worst catalyst, and our study suggests that imposing OEEFs opposite to the reaction axis (z-axis) fastens the catalytic regeneration step and, at the same time, hampers catalytic poisoning. The application of OEEFs is found to regulate the energetics of various spin states and can hamper two-state reactivity, therefore increasing the efficiency. Thus, this study provides insights into the CO2 hydrogenation mechanism where the role of bases/Lewis acid, ligand design, spin states, and electric field in a particular direction has been established and is, therefore, likely to pave the way forward for a new generation of catalysts.

Abstract
Systematic investigations on H atom transfer (HAT) thermodynamics of metal O2 adducts is of fundamental importance for the design of transition metal catalysts for substrate oxidation and/or oxygenation directly using O2. Such work should help elucidate underlying electronic-structure features that govern the OO-H bond dissociation free energies (BDFEs) of metal-hydroperoxo species, which can be used to quantitatively appraise the HAT activity of the corresponding metal-superoxo complexes. Herein, the BDFEs of two homologous CoIII- and MnIII-hydroperoxo complexes, 3-Co and 3-Mn, were calculated to be 79.3 and 81.5 kcal/mol, respectively, employing the Bordwell relationship based on experimentally determined pK a values and redox potentials of the one-electron-oxidized forms, 4-Co and 4-Mn. To further verify these values, we tested the HAT capability of their superoxo congeners, 2-Co and 2-Mn, toward three different substrates possessing varying O-H BDFEs. Specifically, both metal-superoxo species are capable of activating the O-H bond of 4-oxo-TEMPOH with an O-H BDFE of 68.9 kcal/mol, only 2-Mn is able to abstract a H atom from 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol with an O-H BDFE of 80.9 kcal/mol, and neither of them can react with 3,5-dimethylphenol with an O-H BDFE of 85.6 kcal/mol. Further computational investigations suggested that it is the high spin state of the MnIII center in 3-Mn that renders its OO-H BDFE higher than that of 3-Co, which features a low-spin CoIII center. The present work underscores the role of the metal spin state being as crucial as the oxidation state in modulating BDFEs.

Abstract
The inclusion of transition metal elements within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is considered one of the most promising approaches for enhancing the catalytic capability of MOFs. In this study, MOF-253 containing bipyridine coordination sites is investigated for possible transition metal chelation, and a consequent possible CO2 reduction mechanism in the formation of formic acid. All transition metal elements of the third, fourth and fifth periods except hafnium and the lanthanide series are considered using density functional theory calculations. Two distinct types of CO2 reduction mechanisms are identified: (1) the five-coordination Pd center, which promotes formic acid generation via an intramolecular proton transfer pathway; (2) several four-coordination metal centers, including Mn, Pd, and Pt, which generate formic acid by means of heterolytic hydrogen activation. The MOF-253 environment is found to promote beneficial steric hindrance, and to constrain metal–ligand orientation, which consequently facilitates the formation of formic acid, particularly with the tetrahedral Mn center at high-spin electronic state.

Abstract
Herein, a density functional theory (DFT) study was performed to investigate thoroughly the cascade reaction mechanism for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol catalyzed by ruthenium pincer complex [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)]. Three catalytic stages involving the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (stage I), formic acid (stage II) and formaldehyde (stage III) were studied. The calculated results show that the dominant H2 activation strategy in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol may not be the methanol-assisted H2 activation, but the formate-assisted H2 activation. In this cascade reaction, all energy spans of stage I, II and III are 20.2 kcal mol-1 of the formate-assisted H2 activation. This implies that it could occur under mild conditions. Meanwhile, the catalyst is proposed to be efficient for the transfer hydrogenation using isopropanol as the hydrogen resource, and the ruthenium pincer complexes [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)], [RuH2(Ph2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)] and [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)] exhibit similar catalytic activities for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol.

Mechanistic Studies of Oxygen-Atom Transfer (OAT) in the Homogeneous Conversion of N2O by Ru Pincer Complexes. INORGANICS 2022.

Abstract
As the overall turnover-limiting step (TOLS) in the homogeneous conversion of N2O, the oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) from an N2O to an Ru-H complex to generate an N2 and Ru-OH complex has been comprehensively investigated by density functional theory (DFT) computations. Theoretical results show that the proton transfer from Ru-H to the terminal N of endo N2O is most favorable pathway, and the generation of N2 via OAT is accomplished by a three-step mechanism [N2O-insertion into the Ru-H bond (TS-1-2, 24.1 kcal mol−1), change of geometry of the formed (Z)-O-bound oxyldiazene intermediate (TS-2-3, 5.5 kcal mol−1), and generation of N2 from the proton transfer (TS-3-4, 26.6 kcal mol−1)]. The Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG‡) of 29.0 kcal mol−1 for the overall turnover-limiting step (TOLS) is determined. With the participation of potentially existing traces of water in the THF solvent serving as a proton shuttle, the Gibbs free energy of activation in the generation of N2 (TS-3-4-OH2) decreases to 15.1 kcal mol−1 from 26.6 kcal mol−1 (TS-3-4). To explore the structure–activity relationship in the conversion of N2O to N2, the catalytic activities of a series of Ru-H complexes (C1–C10) are investigated. The excellent linear relationships (R2 > 0.91) between the computed hydricities (ΔGH−) and ΔG‡ of TS-3-4, between the computed hydricities (ΔGH−) and the ΔG‡ of TOLS, were obtained. The utilization of hydricity as a potential parameter to predict the activity is consistent with other reports, and the current results suggest a more electron-donating ligand could lead to a more active Ru-H catalyst.

Abstract
Abstract
The requirement of running a new generation of fuel production is inevitable due to the limitation of oil production from reservoirs. On the other hand, enhancing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere brings global warming phenomenon and leads to catastrophic disasters such as drought and flooding. Conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol can compensate for the liquid fuel requirement and mitigate CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. In this review, we surveyed the recent works on homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH and investigated the experimental results in detail. We categorized the CO2 hydrogenation works based on the environment of the reaction, including neutral, acidic, and basic conditions, and discussed the effects of solvents’ properties on the experimental results. This review provides a perspective on the previous studies in this field, which can assist the researchers in selecting the proper catalyst and solvent for homogenous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol.

Abstract
Hydrogen fuel is a promising alternative to fossil fuel. Therefore, efficient hydrogen production is crucial to elucidate the distinctive reactivities of metal hydride species, the intermediates formed during hydrogen activation/evolution in the presence of organometallic catalysts. This study uses density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the isomerizations and reactivities of three nickel-iron (NiFe) hydride isomers synthesized by mimicking the active center of NiFe hydrogenase. Hydride transfer within these complexes, rather than a chemical reaction between the complexes, converts the three hydrides internally. Their reactivities, including their electron-transfer, hydride-transfer and proton-transfer reactions, are investigated. The bridging hydride complex exhibits a higher energy level for the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) than the terminal hydride during the electron-transfer reaction. This energy level indicates that the bridging hydride is more easily oxidized and is more susceptible to electron transfer than the terminal hydride. Regarding the hydride-transfer reaction between the NiFe hydride complex and methylene blue, the terminal hydrides exhibit larger hydricity and lower reaction barriers than the bridging hydride complexes. The results of energy decomposition analysis indicate that the structural deformation energy of the terminal hydride in the transition state is smaller than that of the bridging hydride complex, which lowers the reaction barrier of hydride transfer in the terminal hydride. To produce hydrogen, the rate-determining step is represented by the protonation of the hydride, and the terminal hydrides are thermodynamically and kinetically superior to the bridging ones. The differences in the reactivities of the hydride isomers ensure the precise control of hydrogen, and the theoretical calculations can be applied to design catalysts for hydrogen activation/production.

Abstract
![]()
Coordination compounds
of earth-abundant 3d transition metals are
among the most effective catalysts for the electrochemical reduction
of carbon dioxide (CO2). While the properties of the metal
center are crucial for the ability of the complexes to electrochemically
activate CO2, systematic variations of the metal within
an identical, redox-innocent ligand backbone remain insufficiently
investigated. Here, we report on the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic
characterization, and electrochemical investigation of a series of
3d transition-metal complexes [M = Mn(I), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II),
Cu(I), and Zn(II)] coordinated by a new redox-innocent PNP pincer
ligand system. Only the Fe, Co, and Ni complexes reveal distinct metal-centered
electrochemical reductions from M(II) down to M(0) and show indications
for interaction with CO2 in their reduced states. The Ni(0)
d10 species associates with CO2 to form a putative
Aresta-type Ni-η2-CO2 complex, where electron
transfer to CO2 through back-bonding is insufficient to
enable electrocatalytic activity. By contrast, the Co(0) d9 intermediate binding CO2 can undergo additional electron
uptake into a formal cobalt(I) metallacarboxylate complex able to
promote turnover. Our data, together with the few literature precedents,
single out that an unsaturated coordination sphere (coordination number
= 4 or 5) and a d7-to-d9 configuration in the
reduced low oxidation state (+I or 0) are characteristics that foster
electrochemical CO2 activation for complexes based on redox-innocent
ligands. A series of 3d transition-metal complexes
(M = Mn, Fe, Co,
Ni, Cu, and Zn) coordinated by a new redox-innocent PNP pincer ligand
system were synthesized and structurally as well as electrochemically
analyzed to illuminate the role of the metal center in molecular electrochemical
carbon dioxide (CO2) activation.

Abstract
Transition-metal complexes are attractive targets for the design of catalysts and functional materials. The behavior of the metal-organic bond, while very tunable for achieving target properties, is challenging to predict and necessitates searching a wide and complex space to identify needles in haystacks for target applications. This review will focus on the techniques that make high-throughput search of transition-metal chemical space feasible for the discovery of complexes with desirable properties. The review will cover the development, promise, and limitations of "traditional" computational chemistry (i.e., force field, semiempirical, and density functional theory methods) as it pertains to data generation for inorganic molecular discovery. The review will also discuss the opportunities and limitations in leveraging experimental data sources. We will focus on how advances in statistical modeling, artificial intelligence, multiobjective optimization, and automation accelerate discovery of lead compounds and design rules. The overall objective of this review is to showcase how bringing together advances from diverse areas of computational chemistry and computer science have enabled the rapid uncovering of structure-property relationships in transition-metal chemistry. We aim to highlight how unique considerations in motifs of metal-organic bonding (e.g., variable spin and oxidation state, and bonding strength/nature) set them and their discovery apart from more commonly considered organic molecules. We will also highlight how uncertainty and relative data scarcity in transition-metal chemistry motivate specific developments in machine learning representations, model training, and in computational chemistry. Finally, we will conclude with an outlook of areas of opportunity for the accelerated discovery of transition-metal complexes.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic transformation of carbon dioxide has been a topic of interest in the field of CO2 utilization for a long time. Recently, the area has seen increasing dynamics as an alternative strategy to catalytic hydrogenation for CO2 reduction. While many studies focus on the direct electron transfer to the CO2 molecule at the electrode material, molecular transition metal complexes in solution offer the possibility to act as catalysts for the electron transfer. C1 compounds such as carbon monoxide, formate, and methanol are often targeted as the main products, but more elaborate transformations are also possible within the coordination sphere of the metal center. This perspective article will cover selected examples to illustrate and categorize the currently favored mechanisms for the electrochemically induced transformation of CO2 promoted by homogeneous transition metal complexes. The insights will be corroborated with the concepts and elementary steps of organometallic catalysis to derive potential strategies to broaden the molecular diversity of possible products.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels and value-added fine chemicals is of significant interest for both the environment and the global energy demand. In this frontier article, we highlight viable methods for transforming CO2 into valuable C1 feedstocks and summarize the key mechanistic aspects obtained by in-depth computational investigations of three important pathways of two-electron CO2 reduction: (i) CO2 dissociation to CO (ii) CO2 dimerization to CO32- and CO, and (iii) CO2 hydrogenation to formate. Lastly, we present our outlook on how theoretically obtained mechanistic insights could be translated into strategies for designing efficient non-noble-metal catalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
In this work, density functional theory has been employed to design a heterobimetallic catalyst of Ni(ii) and Fe(ii) for the effective CO2 hydrogenation to HCOOH. Based on computational results, our newly designed catalyst is found to be effective for such conversion reactions with free energy as low as 14.13 kcal mol-1 for the rate determining step. Such a low value of free energy indicates that the NiFe heterobimetallic catalyst can prove to be very efficient for the above said conversion. Moreover, the effects of ligand substitutions at the active metal center and the effects due to various spin states are also explored, and can serve as a great tool for the rational design of NiFe catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Herein a highly active non-precious transition metal catalyst system for homogeneous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formate is presented. The application of selected nickel(ii) salts in combination with tailored multidentate ligands enabled the effective transformation of carbon dioxide with an exceptional TON of up to 4.65 × 106. This unprecedented productivity based on the novel nickel catalyst not only outmatches that of existing systems containing first row transition metals, but also established catalysts based on precious transition metals.

Abstract
Nitrogen reduction reaction (N2RR) carried out on biomimetic catalytic systems is considered to be a promising alternative for the traditional Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis. Unfortunately, the selectivity of the currently known biomimetic catalysts is poor, as they also catalyze the unproductive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In the present computational study, we examine the HER activity of early N2RR intermediates in EP3 (E = B, Si) ligated single-site biomimetic iron complexes by calculating and comparing the activation Gibbs free energies of HER and N2RR elementary steps. We find that, in contrast to previous suggestions, early N2RR intermediates are not likely sources of HER under turnover conditions, as the barriers of the competing N2RR steps are significantly lower. Consequently, future research should focus on preventing other potential HER mechanisms, e.g., hydride formation, rather than accelerating the consumption of early N2RR intermediates as proposed earlier to design more efficient biomimetic catalysts.

Abstract
The photochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid catalyzed by a series of [Rh(4,4'-R-bpy)(Cp*)Cl]+ and [Rh(5,5'-COOH-bpy)(Cp*)Cl]+ complexes (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and R = OCH3, CH3, H, COOC2H5, CF3, NH2, or COOH) was studied to assess how modifications in the electronic structure of the catalyst affect its selectivity, defined as the HCOOH:H2 product ratio. A direct molecular-level influence of the functional group on the initial reaction rate for CO2 versus proton reduction reactions was established. Density functional theory computations elucidated for the first time the respective role of the [RhH] and [Cp*H] tautomers, recognizing rhodium hydride as the key player for both reactions. In particular, our calculations explain the observed tendency of electron-donating substituents to favor CO2 reduction by means of decreasing the hydricity of the Rh-H bond, resulting in a lower hydride transfer barrier toward formic acid production as compared to substituents with an electron-withdrawing nature that favor more strongly the reduction of protons to hydrogen.

This Perspective revisits Charles
Coulson’s famous statement
from 1959 “give us insight not numbers” in which he
pointed out that accurate computations and chemical understanding
often do not go hand in hand. We argue that today, accurate wave function
based first-principle calculations can be performed on large molecular
systems, while tools are available to interpret the results of these
calculations in chemical language. This leads us to modify Coulson’s
statement to “give us insight and numbers”.
Examples from organic, inorganic, organometallic and surface chemistry
as well as molecular magnetism illustrate the points made.

Abstract
Fixation and chemical reduction of CO2 are important for utilization of this abundant resource, and understanding the detailed mechanism of C-O cleavage is needed for rational development of CO2 reduction methods. Here, we describe a detailed analysis of the mechanism of the reaction of a masked two-coordinate cobalt(i) complex, L tBuCo (where L tBu = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]hept-4-yl), with CO2, which yields two products of C-O cleavage, the cobalt(i) monocarbonyl complex L tBuCo(CO) and the dicobalt(ii) carbonate complex (L tBuCo)2(μ-CO3). Kinetic studies and computations show that the κN,η6-arene isomer of L tBuCo rearranges to the κ2 N,N' binding mode prior to binding of CO2, which contrasts with the mechanism of binding of other substrates to L tBuCo. Density functional theory (DFT) studies show that the only low-energy pathways for cleavage of CO2 proceed through bimetallic mechanisms, and DFT and highly correlated domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) calculations reveal the cooperative effects of the two metal centers during facile C-O bond rupture. A plausible intermediate in the reaction of CO2 with L tBuCo is the oxodicobalt(ii) complex L tBuCoOCoL tBu, which has been independently synthesized through the reaction of L tBuCo with N2O. The rapid reaction of L tBuCoOCoL tBu with CO2 to form the carbonate product indicates that the oxo species is kinetically competent to be an intermediate during CO2 cleavage by L tBuCo. L tBuCoOCoL tBu is a novel example of a thoroughly characterized molecular cobalt-oxo complex where the cobalt ions are clearly in the +2 oxidation state. Its nucleophilic reactivity is a consequence of high charge localization on the μ-oxo ligand between two antiferromagnetically coupled high-spin cobalt(ii) centers, as characterized by DFT and multireference complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations.

Abstract
In a large variety of studies, the coupled-cluster method with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) is used as a reference for benchmarking the performance of density functional theory (DFT) functionals. In the case of open-shell species, this theory can be applied in different forms depending on the restricted or unrestricted treatment of spin. In this study, we show that these different approaches can produce results which deviate by ∼5 kcal/mol for different species on the potential energy surfaces. This was demonstrated for a simple model of the C-H activation carried out by non-heme iron enzymes. Assessing the limits of CCSD(T) prior to its use as a general benchmark tool is warranted. This was done using higher-order coupled-cluster calculations as well as multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2), since iron-oxo species present some multireference character. Furthermore, we tested two different implementations of the local coupled-cluster method and compared them to the CCSD(T) results, showing that even though these novel approaches are promising, without further developments they appear not to be suitable for describing two-state reactivity of the system investigated in the current study. Additionally, we implemented and assessed the performance of the hotspot approach for the local unrestricted CCSD(T) scheme which aims at reducing the pair error for systems containing transition metals.
