Abstract
The fusion of hydrogenases and photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) has proven to be a promising strategy for the production of sustainable biofuels. Type I (iron-sulfur-containing) RCs, acting as photosensitizers, are capable of promoting electrons to a redox state that can be exploited by hydrogenases for the reduction of protons to dihydrogen (H2). While both [FeFe] and [NiFe] hydrogenases have been used successfully, they tend to be limited due to either O2 sensitivity, binding specificity, or H2 production rates. In this study, we fuse a peripheral (stromal) subunit of Photosystem I (PS I), PsaE, to an O2-tolerant [FeFe] hydrogenase from Clostridium beijerinckii using a flexible [GGS]4 linker group (CbHydA1-PsaE). We demonstrate that the CbHydA1 chimera can be synthetically activated in vitro to show bidirectional activity and that it can be quantitatively bound to a PS I variant lacking the PsaE subunit. When illuminated in an anaerobic environment, the nanoconstruct generates H2 at a rate of 84.9 ± 3.1 µmol H2 mgchl-1 h-1. Further, when prepared and illuminated in the presence of O2, the nanoconstruct retains the ability to generate H2, though at a diminished rate of 2.2 ± 0.5 µmol H2 mgchl-1 h-1. This demonstrates not only that PsaE is a promising scaffold for PS I-based nanoconstructs, but the use of an O2-tolerant [FeFe] hydrogenase opens the possibility for an in vivo H2 generating system that can function in the presence of O2.

Abstract
A comparative bioinspired reactivity study of new binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiolate, selenolate, trisulfide and diselenide in relation with (i) the generation of reactive sulfur/selenium species (RSS/RSeS), (ii) the oxygen dependent oxidation and disproportionation of polysulfide (Sn2-) to produce sulfite (SO32-), thiosulfate (S2O32-) and sulfide (S2-) by sulfur oxygenase reductase (SOR), and (iii) the reaction of Sn2- with nitrite (NO2-) to generate thionitrite (SNO-), perthionitrite (SSNO-) and nitric oxide (NO), is presented. The binuclear Zn(II)-thiolate/selenolate complexes could react with elemental sulfur to generate RSS/RSeS while similar reactions involving elemental selenium could not generate RSeS. The dizinc(II)-S3 and the dizinc(II)-Se2 complexes could react with dioxygen (O2) to generate binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiosulfate (S2O32-) and selenite (SeO32-), respectively. Finally, unlike the nonreactive nature of the dizinc(II)-Se2 complex toward NO2-, reaction of the dizinc(II)-S3 complex with NO2- produced a new binuclear Zn(II) complex featuring a coordinated dithiosulfite (S3O2-) along with the formation of perthionitrite (SSNO-), of which the latter subsequently produced nitric oxide (NO) and S42-. The present work, thus, demonstrates the comparative reactivity of a series of binuclear Zn(II)-chalcogenolato/-polychalcogenido complexes for the generation of S2O32-, SeO32-, S3O2-, SSNO-, NO and RSS/RSeS.

Abstract
Designing ligand architectures that can mimic enzyme active sites is a promising approach for developing efficient small molecule activation catalysts for sustainable energy applications. Some key design features include chemically distinct binding pockets for multiple metal centers and a three-dimensional structure that controls the positioning of catalytic sites. With these principles in mind, mono- and bimetallic unsymmetric cofacial palladium complexes, 2 and 3, respectively, bearing ligands with calixpyrrole and salen coordination sites, or "salixpyrrole" ligands, are reported. These species were accessed in a straightforward Schiff-base reaction with appreciable yields. In addition, both 2 and 3 were found to be active hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts using para-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate as the proton source. The two salixpyrrole species displayed different mechanisms of action, with 2 showing a second-order dependence on acid concentration, whereas 3 exhibited a first-order dependence. Moreover, the bimetallic catalyst was significantly more efficient, with higher turnover frequencies, 4640 s-1 vs 1680 s-1 for 2, and lower overpotentials, 0.39 V vs 0.69 V for 2. The results reported herein provide proof-of-concept that bimetallic catalysts with chemically distinct binding sites demonstrate enhanced catalytic properties in comparison to monometallic or symmetric analogues.

Abstract
Dinickel dichalcogenide complexes hold vital multifaceted significance across catalysis, electron transfer, magnetism, materials science, and energy conversion. Understanding their structure, bonding, and reactivity is crucial for all aforementioned applications. These complexes are classified as dichalcogenide, subchalcogenide, or chalcogenide based on metal oxidation and coordinated chalcogen, and due to the associated complex electronic structure, ambiguity often lingers about their classification. In this work, using DFT, CASSCF/NEVPT2, and DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods, we have studied in detail [(NiL)2(E2)] (L = 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane; E = O, S, Se and Te) complexes and explored their reactivity towards C-H bond activation for the first time. Through a comprehensive analysis of the structure, bonding, and reactivity of a series of [(NiL)2(E2)] complexes with E = O, S, Se, and Te, our computational findings suggest that {Ni2O2} and {Ni2S2} are best categorised as dichalcogenide-type complexes. In contrast, {Ni2Se2} and {Ni2Te2} display tendencies consistent with the subchalcogenide classification, and this aligns with the earlier structural correlation proposed (Berry and co-workers, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 4993) reports on the importance of the E-E bond strength. Our study suggests the reactivity order of {Ni2O2} > {Ni2S2} > {Ni2Se2} > {Ni2Te2} for C-H bond activation, and the origin of the difference in reactivity was attributed to the difference in the Ni-E bond covalency, and electronic cooperativity between two Ni centres that switch among the classification during the reaction. Further non-adiabatic analysis at the C-H bond activation step demonstrates a decrease in coupling strength as we progress down the group, indicating a correlation with metal-ligand covalency. Notably, the reactivity trend is found to be correlated to the strength of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling constant J via developing a magneto-structural-barrier map - offering a hitherto unknown route to fine-tune the reactivity of this important class of compound.

Abstract
The membrane-bound hydrogenase (Mbh) from Pyrococcus furiosus is an archaeal member of the Complex I superfamily. It catalyzes the reduction of protons to H2 gas powered by a [NiFe] active site and transduces the free energy into proton pumping and Na+/H+ exchange across the membrane. Despite recent structural advances, the mechanistic principles of H2 catalysis and ion transport in Mbh remain elusive. Here, we probe how the redox chemistry drives the reduction of the proton to H2 and how the catalysis couples to conformational dynamics in the membrane domain of Mbh. By combining large-scale quantum chemical density functional theory (DFT) and correlated ab initio wave function methods with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the proton transfer reactions required for the catalysis are gated by electric field effects that direct the protons by water-mediated reactions from Glu21L toward the [NiFe] site, or alternatively along the nearby His75L pathway that also becomes energetically feasible in certain reaction steps. These local proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions induce conformational changes around the active site that provide a key coupling element via conserved loop structures to the ion transport activity. We find that H2 forms in a heterolytic proton reduction step, with spin crossovers tuning the energetics along key reaction steps. On a general level, our work showcases the role of electric fields in enzyme catalysis and how these effects are employed by the [NiFe] active site of Mbh to drive PCET reactions and ion transport.

Abstract
The intriguing chemistry of chalcogen (S, Se)-containing ligands and their capability to bridge multiple metal centres have resulted in a plethora of reports on transition metal complexes featuring hydrosulfide (HS-) and polychalcogenides (En2-, E = S, Se). While a large number of such molecules are strictly organometallic complexes, examples of non-organometallic complexes featuring HS- and En2- with N-/O-donor ligands are relatively rare. The general synthetic procedure for the transition metal-hydrosulfido complexes involves the reaction of the corresponding metal salts with HS-/H2S and this is prone to generate sulfido bridged oligomers in the absence of sterically demanding ligands. On the other hand, the synthetic methods for the preparation of transition metal-polychalcogenido complexes include the reaction of the corresponding metal salts with En2- or the two electron oxidation of low-valent metals with elemental chalcogen, often at an elevated temperature and/or for a long time. Recently, we have developed new synthetic methods for the preparation of two new classes of binuclear transition metal complexes featuring either HS-, or Sn2- and Sen2- ligands. The new method for the synthesis of transition metal-hydrosulfido complexes involved transition metal-mediated hydrolysis of thiolates at room temperature (RT), while the method for the synthesis of transition metal-polychalcogenido complexes involved redox reaction of coordinated thiolates and exogenous elemental chalcogens at RT. An overview of the synthetic aspects, structural properties and intriguing reactivity of these two new classes of transition metal complexes is presented.

Abstract
Photosynthetic water splitting, when synergized with hydrogen production catalyzed by hydrogenases, emerges as a promising avenue for clean and renewable energy. However, theoretical calculations have faced challenges in elucidating the low-lying spin states of iron-sulfur clusters, which are integral components of hydrogenases. To address this challenge, we employ the Extended Broken-Symmetry method for the computation of the cubane-[Fe3S4] cluster within the [FeNi] hydrogenase enzyme. This approach rectifies the error caused by spin contamination, allowing us to obtain the magnetic exchange coupling constant and the energy level of the low-lying state. We find that the Extended Broken-Symmetry method provides more accurate results for differences in bond length and the magnetic coupling constant. This accuracy assists in reconstructing the low-spin ground state force and determining the geometric structure of the ground state. By utilizing the Extended Broken-Symmetry method, we further highlight the significance of the geometric arrangement of metal centers in the cluster's properties and gain deeper insights into the magnetic properties of transition metal iron-sulfur clusters at the reaction centers of hydrogenases. This research illuminates the untapped potential of hydrogenases and their promising role in the future of photosynthesis and sustainable energy production.

Abstract
We present a bifunctional heptanuclear cobalt(II)/cobalt(III) molecular complex formulated as [Co7(μ3-OH)4(H2L1)2(HL2)2](NO3)6·6H2O (1) (where H5L1 is 2,2'-(((1E,1'E)-((2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methanylylidene))bis(azanylylidene))bis(propane-1,3-diol)) and H2L2 is 2-amino-1,3-propanediol). Compound 1 has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis along with other spectral and magnetic measurements. Structural analysis indicates that 1 contains a mixed-valence Co7 cluster where a central Co(II) ion is connected to six different Co centers (four CoIII and two CoII ions) by four μ3-OH groups, giving rise to a planar heptanuclear cluster that resembles a molecular fragment of a layered double hydroxide (LDH). Two triply deprotonated (H2L1)3- ligands form the outer side of the cluster while two singly deprotonated (HL2)- ligands are located at the top and bottom of the central heptanuclear core. Variable temperature magnetic measurements indicate the presence of weak ferromagnetic CoII···CoII interactions (J = 3.53(6) cm-1) within the linear trinuclear CoII cluster. AC susceptibility measurements show that 1 is a field-induced single-molecule magnet (SMM) with τ0 = 8.2(7) × 10-7 s and Ueff = 11.3(4) K. The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of 1 in homogeneous phase shows an overpotential of 455 mV, with a Faradaic efficiency of 81% and a TOF of 8.97 × 104 μmol H2 h-1 mol-1.

Abstract
A series of six binuclear Co(II)-thiolate complexes, [Co2(BPMP)(S-C6H4-o-X)2]1+ (X = OMe, 2; NH2, 3), [Co2(BPMP)(μ-S-C6H4-o-O)]1+ (4), and [Co2(BPMP)(μ-Y)]1+ (Y = bdt, 5; tdt, 6; mnt, 7), has been synthesized from [Co2(BPMP)(MeOH)2(Cl)2]1+ (1a) and [Co2(BPMP)(Cl)2]1+ (1b), where BPMP1- is the anion of 2,6-bis[[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl]-4-methylphenol. While 2 and 3 could allow the two-electron redox reaction of the two coordinated thiolates with elemental sulfur (S8) to generate [Co2(BPMP)(μ-S5)]1+ (8), the complexes, 4-7, could not undergo a similar reaction. An analogous redox reaction of 2 with elemental selenium ([Se]) produced [{Co2(BPMP)(μ-Se4)}{Co2(BPMP)(μ-Se3)}]2+ (9a) and [Co2(BPMP)(μ-Se4)]1+ (9b). Further reaction of these polychalcogenido complexes, 8 and 9a/9b, with PPh3 allowed the isolation of [Co2(BPMP)(μ-S)]1+ (10) and [Co2(BPMP)(μ-Se2)]1+ (11), which, in turn, could be converted back to 8 and 9a upon treatment with S8 and [Se], respectively. Interestingly, while the redox reaction of the polyselenide chains in 9a and 11 with S8 produced 8 and [Se], the treatment of 8 with [Se] gave back only the starting material (8), thus demonstrating the different redox behavior of sulfur and selenium. Furthermore, the reaction of 8 and 9a/9b with activated alkynes and cyanide (CN-) allowed the isolation of the complexes, [Co2(BPMP)(μ-E2C2(CO2R)2)]1+ (E = S: 12a, R = Me; 12b, R = Et; E = Se: 13a, R = Me; 13b, R = Et) and [Co2(BPMP)(μ-SH)(NCS)2] (14), respectively. The present work, thus, provides an interesting synthetic strategy, interconversions, and detailed comparative reactivity of binuclear Co(II)-polychalcogenido complexes.

Abstract
An azadithiolate bridged CN- bound pentacarbonyl bis-iron complex, mimicking the active site of [Fe-Fe] H2ase is synthesized. The geometric and electronic structure of this complex is elucidated using a combination of EXAFS analysis, infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The electrochemical investigations show that complex 1 effectively reduces H+ to H2 between pH 0-3 at diffusion-controlled rates (1011 M-1 s-1) i.e. 108 s-1 at pH 3 with an overpotential of 140 mV. Electrochemical analysis and DFT calculations suggests that a CN- ligand increases the pKa of the cluster enabling hydrogen production from its Fe(i)-Fe(0) state at pHs much higher and overpotential much lower than its precursor bis-iron hexacarbonyl model which is active in its Fe(0)-Fe(0) state. The formation of a terminal Fe-H species, evidenced by spectroelectrochemistry in organic solvent, via a rate determining proton coupled electron transfer step and protonation of the adjacent azadithiolate, lowers the kinetic barrier leading to diffusion controlled rates of H2 evolution. The stereo-electronic factors enhance its catalytic rate by 3 order of magnitude relative to a bis-iron hexacarbonyl precursor at the same pH and potential.

Abstract
In this study, three tetracoordinated bis(silylene) iron(II) chlorides, namely, [SiCHRSi]FeCl2 (1) (R = H), (2) (R = CH3), and (3) (R = Ph), were synthesized through the reactions of the three different bis(silylene) ligands [LSiCHRSiL] (L = PhC(NtBu)2, L1 (R = H), L2 (R = CH3), L3 (R = Ph)) with FeCl2·(THF)1.5 in THF. The bis(silylene) Fe complexes 1-3 could be used as effective catalysts for dinitrogen silylation, with complex 3 demonstrating the highest turnover number (TON) of 746 equiv among the three complexes. The catalytic mechanism was explored, revealing the involvement of the pentacoordinated bis(dinitrogen) iron(0) complexes [SiCHRSi]Fe(N2)2(THF), (4)-(6), as the active catalysts in the dinitrogen silylation reaction. Additionally, the cyclic silylene compound 10 was obtained from the reaction of L1 with KC8. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the molecular structures of complexes 1-3 and 10 in the solid state.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202314819.

Abstract
[FeFe]-hydrogenases efficiently catalyze the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen. Their prowess stems from the intricate H-cluster, combining a [Fe4 S4 ] center with a binuclear iron center ([2Fe]H ). In the latter, each iron atom is coordinated by a CO and CN ligand, connected by a CO and an azadithiolate ligand. The synthesis of this active site involves a unique multiprotein assembly, featuring radical SAM proteins HydG and HydE. HydG initiates the transformation of L-tyrosine into cyanide and carbon monoxide to generate complex B, which is subsequently transferred to HydE to continue the biosynthesis of the [2Fe]H -subcluster. Due to its instability, complex B isolation for structural or spectroscopic characterization has been elusive thus far. Nevertheless, the use of a biomimetic analogue of complex B allowed circumvention of the need for the HydG protein during in vitro functional investigations, implying a similar structure for complex B. Herein, we used the HydE protein as a nanocage to encapsulate and stabilize the complex B product generated by HydG. Using X-ray crystallography, we successfully determined its structure at 1.3 Å resolution. Furthermore, we demonstrated that complex B is directly transferred from HydG to HydE, thus not being released into the solution post-synthesis, highlighting a transient interaction between the two proteins.

Abstract
Proton transfer is critically important to many electrocatalytic reactions, and directed proton delivery could open new avenues for the design of electrocatalysts. However, although this approach has been successful in molecular electrocatalysis, proton transfer has not received the same attention in heterogeneous electrocatalyst design. Here, we report that a metal oxide proton relay can be built within heterogeneous electrocatalyst architectures and improves the kinetics of electrochemical hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions. The volcano-type relationship between activity enhancement and pKa of amine additives confirms this improvement; we observe maximum rate enhancement when the pKa of a proton relay matches the pH of the electrolyte solution. Density-functional-theory-based reactivity studies reveal a decreased proton transfer energy barrier with a metal oxide proton relay. These findings demonstrate the possibility of controlling the proton delivery and enhancing the reaction kinetics by tuning the chemical properties and structures at heterogeneous interfaces.

Abstract
Incorporating design elements from homogeneous catalysts to construct well defined active sites on electrode surfaces is a promising approach for developing next generation electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions. Furthermore, if functionalities that control the electrode microenvironment could be integrated into these active sites it would be particularly appealing. In this context, a square planar nickel calixpyrrole complex, Ni(DPMDA) (DPMDA=2,2'-((diphenylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrrole-5,2-diyl))bis(methaneylylidene))bis(azaneylylidene))dianiline) with pendant amine groups is reported that forms a heterogeneous hydrogen evolution catalyst using anilinium tetrafluoroborate as the proton source. The supported Ni(DPMDA) catalyst was surprisingly stable and displayed fast reaction kinetics with turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 25,900 s-1 or 366,000 s-1 cm-2 . Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies revealed a KIE of 5.7, and this data, combined with Tafel slope analysis, suggested that a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process involving the pendant amine groups was rate-limiting. While evidence of an outer-sphere reduction of the Ni(DPMDA) catalyst was observed, it is hypothesized that the control over the secondary coordination sphere provided by the pendant amines facilitated such high TOFs and enabled the PCET mechanism. The results reported herein provide insight into heterogeneous catalyst design and approaches for controlling the secondary coordination sphere on electrode surfaces.

Abstract
The membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenase of Cupriavidus necator is a rare example of a truly O2-tolerant hydrogenase. It catalyzes the oxidation of H2 into 2e- and 2H+ in the presence of high O2 concentrations. This characteristic trait is intimately linked to the unique Cys6[4Fe-3S] cluster located in the proximal position to the catalytic center and coordinated by six cysteine residues. Two of these cysteines play an essential role in redox-dependent cluster plasticity, which bestows the cofactor with the capacity to mediate two redox transitions at physiological potentials. Here, we investigated the individual roles of the two additional cysteines by replacing them individually as well as simultaneously with glycine. The crystal structures of the corresponding MBH variants revealed the presence of Cys5[4Fe-4S] or Cys4[4Fe-4S] clusters of different architecture. The protein X-ray crystallography results were correlated with accompanying biochemical, spectroscopic and electrochemical data. The exchanges resulted in a diminished O2 tolerance of all MBH variants, which was attributed to the fact that the modified proximal clusters mediated only one redox transition. The previously proposed O2 protection mechanism that detoxifies O2 to H2O using four protons and four electrons supplied by the cofactor infrastructure, is extended by our results, which suggest efficient shutdown of enzyme function by formation of a hydroxy ligand in the active site that protects the enzyme from O2 binding under electron-deficient conditions.

Abstract
It is challenging to capture carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, due to its high chemical stability. One potential practical solution to eliminate CO2 is to convert CO2 into formate using hydrogen (H2) (CO2 hydrogenation), which can be accomplished with inexpensive hydrogen from sustainable sources. While industrial flue gas could provide an adequate source of hydrogen, a suitable catalyst is needed that can tolerate other gas components, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2), potential inhibitors. Our proposed CO2 hydrogenation system uses the hydrogenase derived from Ralstonia eutropha H16 (ReSH) and formate dehydrogenase derived from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 (MeFDH1). Both enzymes are tolerant to CO and O2, which are typical inhibitors of metalloenzymes found in flue gas. We have successfully demonstrated that combining ReSH- and MeFDH1-immobilized resins can convert H2 and CO2 in real flue gas to formate via a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent cascade reaction. We anticipated that this enzyme system would enable the utilization of diverse H2 and CO2 sources, including waste gases, biomass, and gasified plastics.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction and protonation of [Fe2(adtH)(CO)6] (1, adtH = SCH2N(H)CH2S) and [Fe2(pdt)(CO)6] (2, pdt = SCH2CH2CH2S) in the presence of moderately strong acid in acetonitrile was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), focusing on the catalysis of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by a {2e-,2H+} pathway. The turnover frequencies at zero overpotential (TOF0) of the N-protonated product 1(H)+ and 2 for the HER were estimated from simulations of the catalytic CV responses at low acid concentration using a simple ECEC mechanism (two electrochemical and chemical steps). This approach confirmed that 1(H)+ is clearly a better catalyst than 2, pointing to a possible role of the protonable and biologically relevant adtH ligand in the enhancement of the catalytic performances. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further suggested that, owing to a strong structural rearrangement in the course of the catalytic cycle, the HER catalysis by 1(H)+ only involves the iron center adjacent to the amine group in adtH and not the two iron centers as in 2. Since terminal hydride species (FeFe-H) are known to more easily undergo protonolyse to H2 than their bridging hydride isomers (Fe-H-Fe), this may explain here the enhanced activity of 1(H)+ over 2 for the HER.

Abstract
The preparation of Co3O4 nanostructures by a green method has been rapidly increasing owing to its promising aspects, such as facileness, atom economy, low cost, scale-up synthesis, environmental friendliness, and minimal use of hazardous chemicals. In this study, we report on the synthesis of Co3O4 nanostructures using the milky sap of Calotropis procera (CP) by a low-temperature aqueous chemical growth method. The milky sap of CP-mediated Co3O4 nanostructures were investigated for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) and supercapacitor applications. The structure and shape characterizations were done by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The prepared Co3O4 nanostructures showed a heterogeneous morphology consisting of nanoparticles and large micro clusters. A typical cubic phase and a spinel structure of Co3O4 nanostructures were also observed. The OER result was obtained at a low overpotential of 250 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 53 mV dec-1. In addition, the durability of 45 hours was also found at 20 mA cm-2. The newly prepared Co3O4 nanostructures using the milky sap of CP were also used to demonstrate a high specific capacitance of 700 F g-1 at a current density of 0.8 A g-1 and a power density of 30 W h kg-1. The enhanced electrochemical performance of Co3O4 nanostructures prepared using the milky sap of CP could be attributed to the surface oxygen vacancies, a relatively high amount of Co2+, the reduction in the optical band gap and the fast charge transfer rate. These surface, structural, and optical properties were induced by reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents from the milky sap of CP. The obtained results of OERs and supercapacitor applications strongly recommend the use of the milky sap of CP for the synthesis of diverse efficient nanostructured materials in a specific application, particularly in energy conversion and storage devices.

Abstract
Thiocarbohydrazone-based catalysts feature ligands that are potentially electrochemically active. From the synthesis point of view, these ligands can be easily tailored, opening multiple strategies for optimization, such as using different substituent groups or metal substitution. In this work, we show the possibility of a new strategy, involving the nuclearity of the system, meaning the number of metal centers. We report the synthesis and characterization of a trinuclear nickel-thiocarbohydrazone complex displaying an improved turnover rate compared with its mononuclear counterpart. We use DFT calculations to show that the mechanism involved is metal-centered, unlike the metal-assisted ligand-centered mechanism found in the mononuclear complex. Finally, we show that two possible mechanisms can be assigned to this catalyst, both involving an initial double reduction of the system.

Abstract
To develop the structural and functional modeling chemistry of [NiFe]-H2ases, a series of new biomimetics for the active site of [NiFe]-H2ases have been prepared by various synthetic methods. Treatment of the mononuclear Ni complex (pnp)NiCl2 (pnp = (Ph2PCH2)2NPh) with (dppv)Fe(CO)2(pdt) (dppv = 1,2-(Ph2P)2C2H2, pdt = 1,3-propanedithiolate) and KPF6 gave the dicarbonyl complex [(pnp)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppv)](PF6)2 ([1](PF6)2). Further treatment of [1](PF6)2 and [(dppe)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppv)](BF4)2 (dppe = 1,2-(Ph2P)2C2H4) with the decarbonylation agent Me3NO and pyridine afforded the novel sp3 C-Fe bond-containing complexes [(pnp)Ni(SCH2CH2CHS)Fe(CO)(dppv)]PF6 ([2]PF6) and [(dppe)Ni(SCH2CH2CHS)Fe(CO)(dppv)]BF4 ([3]BF4). More interestingly, the first t-carboxylato complexes [(pnp)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(t-O2CR)(dppv)]PF6 ([4]PF6, R = H; [5]PF6, R = Me; [6]PF6, R = Ph) could be prepared by reactions of [1]PF6 with the corresponding carboxylic acids RCO2H in the presence of Me3NO, whereas further reactions of [4]PF6-[6]PF6 with aqueous HPF6 and 1.5 MPa H2 gave rise to the μ-hydride complex [(pnp)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(μ-H)(dppv)]PF6 ([7]PF6). Except for H2 activation by t-carboxylato complexes [4]PF6-[6]PF6 to give a μ-hydride complex ([7]PF6), the sp3 C-Fe bond-containing complex [2]PF6 was found to be a catalyst for proton reduction to H2 under CV conditions. Furthermore, the chemical reactivity of the μ-hydride complex [7]PF6 displayed in the e- transfer reaction with FcPF6 in the presence of CO, the H2 evolution reaction with the protonic acid HCl, and the H- transfer reaction with N-methylacridinium hexafluorophosphate ([NMA]PF6) was systematically studied. As a result, a series of the expected products such as H2, ferrocene, the dicarbonyl complex [1](PF6)2, the μ-chloro complex [(pnp)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(μ-Cl)(dppv)]PF6 ([8]PF6), the t-MeCN-coordinated complex [(pnp)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(t-MeCN)(dppv)](PF6)2 ([9](PF6)2) and the H- transfer product AcrH2 were produced. While all the newly prepared model complexes were structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods, the molecular structures of some of their representatives were confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Hydrogen gas obtained from cheap or sustainable sources has been investigated as an alternative to fossil fuels. By using hydrogenase (H2ase) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH), H2 and CO2 gases can be converted to formate, which can be conveniently stored and transported. However, developing an enzymatic process that converts H2 and CO2 obtained from cheap sources into formate is challenging because even a very small amount of O2 included in the cheap sources damages most H2ases and FDHs. In order to overcome this limitation, we investigated a pair of oxygen-tolerant H2ase and FDH. We achieved the cascade reaction between H2ase from Ralstonia eutropha H16 (ReSH) and FDH from Rhodobacter capsulatus (RcFDH) to convert H2 and CO2 to formate using in situ regeneration of NAD+/NADH in the presence of O2.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes are remarkable for facilitating challenging redox transformations with high efficiency and selectivity. In the area of alternative energy, scientists aim to capture these properties in bioinspired and engineered biomolecular catalysts for the efficient and fast production of fuels from low-energy feedstocks such as water and carbon dioxide. In this short review, efforts to mimic biological catalysts for proton reduction and carbon dioxide reduction are highlighted. Two important recurring themes are the importance of the microenvironment of the catalyst active site and the key role of proton delivery to the active site in achieving desired reactivity. Perspectives on ongoing and future challenges are also provided.

Abstract
Murine FAM72A, mFAM72A, binds the nuclear form of uracil-DNA glycosylase, mUNG2, inhibits its activity and causes its degradation. In immunoprecipitation assays the human paralog, hFAM72A, binds hUNG2 and is a potential anti-cancer drug target because of its high expression in many cancers. Using purified mFAM72A, and mUNG2 proteins we show that mFAM72A binds mUNG2, and the N-terminal 25 amino acids of mUNG2 bind mFAM72A at a nanomolar dissociation constant. We also show that mFAM72A is present throughout the cells, and mUNG2 helps localize it to nuclei. Based on in silico models of mFAM72A-mUNG2 interactions, we constructed several mutants of mFAM72A and found that while they have reduced ability to deplete mUNG2, the mutations also destabilized the former protein. We confirmed that Withaferin A, a predicted lead molecule for the design of FAM72A inhibitors, binds mFAM72A with micromolar affinity but has little affinity to mUNG2. We identified two potential metal-binding sites in mFAM72A and show that one of the sites contains an Fe-S cluster. This redox-sensitive cluster is involved in the mFAM72A-mUNG2 interaction and modulates mFAM72A activity. Hydrogen peroxide treatment of cells increases mUNG2 depletion in a FAM72A-dependent fashion suggesting that mFAM72A activity is redox-sensitive.

Abstract
Hydrogen oxidizing bacteria (HOB), a type of chemoautotroph, are a group of bacteria from different genera that share the ability to oxidize H2 and fix CO2 to provide energy and synthesize cellular material. Recently, HOB have received growing attention due to their potential for CO2 capture and waste recovery. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the biological characteristics of HOB and their application in resource recovery and pollutant removal. Firstly, the enzymes, genes and corresponding regulation systems responsible for the key metabolic processes of HOB are discussed in detail. Then, the enrichment and cultivation methods including the coupled water splitting-biosynthetic system cultivation, mixed cultivation and two-stage cultivation strategies for HOB are summarized, which is the critical prerequisite for their application. On the basis, recent advances of HOB application in the recovery of high-value products and the removal of pollutants are presented. Finally, the key points for future investigation are proposed that more attention should be paid to the main limitations in the large-scale industrial application of HOB, including the mass transfer rate of the gases, the safety of the production processes and products, and the commercial value of the products.

Abstract
One of the hallmark advances in our understanding of metalloprotein function is showcased in our ability to design new, non-native, catalytically active protein scaffolds. This review highlights progress and milestone achievements in the field of de novo metalloprotein design focused on reports from the past decade with special emphasis on de novo designs couched within common subfields of bioinorganic study: heme binding proteins, monometal- and dimetal-containing catalytic sites, and metal-containing electron transfer sites. Within each subfield, we highlight several of what we have identified as significant and important contributions to either our understanding of that subfield or de novo metalloprotein design as a discipline. These reports are placed in context both historically and scientifically. General suggestions for future directions that we feel will be important to advance our understanding or accelerate discovery are discussed.

Abstract
[FeFe] hydrogenases are highly active catalysts for hydrogen conversion. Their active site has two components: a [4Fe-4S] electron relay covalently attached to the H2 binding site and a diiron cluster ligated by CO, CN-, and 2-azapropane-1,3-dithiolate (ADT) ligands. Reduction of the [4Fe-4S] site was proposed to be coupled with protonation of one of its cysteine ligands. Here, we used time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy on the [FeFe] hydrogenase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrHydA1) containing a propane-1,3-dithiolate (PDT) ligand instead of the native ADT ligand. The PDT modification does not affect the electron transfer step to [4Fe-4S]H but prevents the enzyme from proceeding further through the catalytic cycle. We show that the rate of the first electron transfer step is independent of the pH, supporting a simple electron transfer rather than a proton-coupled event. These results have important implications for our understanding of the catalytic mechanism of [FeFe] hydrogenases and highlight the utility of TRIR.

To develop the structural and functional modeling chemistry of [NiFe]-H2ases, we have carried out a study regarding the synthesis, structural characterization and reactivity of a new series of [NiFe]-H2ase model complexes. Thus, treatment of diphosphine dppb-chelated Ni complex (dppb)NiCl2 (dppb = 1,2-(Ph2P)2C6H4) with (dppv)Fe(CO)2(pdt) (dppv = 1,2-(Ph2P)2C2H2, pdt = 1,3-propanedithiolate) and NaBF4 gave dicarbonyl complex [(dppb)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppv)](BF4)2 ([A](BF4)2). Further treatment of [A](BF4)2 with Me3NO and Bu4NCN or KSCN afforded t-cyanido and t-isothiocyanato complexes [(dppb)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(t-R)(dppv)]BF4 ([1]BF4, R = CN; [2]BF4, R = NCS), respectively. While azadiphosphine MeN(CH2PPh2)2-chelated t-hydride complex [MeN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(t-H)(dppv)]BF4 ([3]BF4) was prepared by treatment of dicarbonyl complex [MeN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppv)](BF4)2 ([B](BF4)2) with Me3NO and 1.5 MPa of H2, treatment of dicarbonyl complex [B](BF4)2 with Me3NO (without H2) in pyridine resulted in formation of a novel monocarbonyl complex [MeN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(SCHCH2CH2S)Fe(CO)(dppv)]BF4 ([4]BF4) via the unexpected sp3 C-H bond activation reaction. Furthermore, azadiphosphine PhN(CH2PPh2)2-chelated µ-mercapto complex [PhN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(µ-SH)(dppv)]BF4 ([5]BF4) was prepared by treatment of dicarbonyl complex [PhN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppv)](BF4)2 ([C](BF4)2) with Me3NO and H2S gas, whereas treatment of azadiphosphine Ph2CHN(CH2PPh2)2-chelated dicarbonyl complex [Ph2CHN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)2(dppe)](BF4)2 ([D](BF4)2, dppe = 1,2-(Ph2P)2C2H4) with Me3NO⋅2H2O gave rise to µ-hydroxo complex [Ph2CHN(CH2PPh2)2Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(µ-OH)(dppe)]BF4 ([6]BF4). All the possible pathways for formation of the new model complexes are briefly discussed, and their structures were fully characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and for six of them by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic development. To that goal, hydrogen is presumed to be the most promising energy carrier. Electrocatalytic water splitting, if driven by green electricity, would provide hydrogen with minimal CO2 footprint. The viability of water electrolysis still hinges on the availability of durable earth-abundant electrocatalyst materials and the overall process efficiency. This review spans from the fundamentals of electrocatalytically initiated water splitting to the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research, also covering specifications and special features of the current industrial processes and those processes currently being tested in large-scale applications. Recently developed strategies are described for the optimisation and discovery of active and durable materials for electrodes that ever-increasingly harness first-principles calculations and machine learning. In addition, a technoeconomic analysis of water electrolysis is included that allows an assessment of the extent to which a large-scale implementation of water splitting can help to combat climate change. This review article is intended to cross-pollinate and strengthen efforts from fundamental understanding to technical implementation and to improve the 'junctions' between the field's physical chemists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as stimulate much-needed exchange among these groups on challenges encountered in the different domains.

Abstract
Pendant amines play an invaluable role in chemical reactivity, especially for molecular catalysts based on earth-abundant metals. As inspired by [FeFe]-hydrogenases, which contain a pendant amine positioned for cooperative bifunctionality, synthetic catalysts have been developed to emulate this multifunctionality through incorporation of a pendant amine in the second coordination sphere. Cyclic diphosphine ligands containing two amines serve as the basis for a class of catalysts that have been extensively studied and used to demonstrate the impact of a pendant base. These 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctanes, now often referred to as "P2N2" ligands, have profound effects on the reactivity of many catalysts. The resulting [Ni(PR2NR'2)2]2+ complexes are electrocatalysts for both the oxidation and production of H2. Achieving the optimal benefit of the pendant amine requires that it has suitable basicity and is properly positioned relative to the metal center. In addition to the catalytic efficacy demonstrated with [Ni(PR2NR'2)2]2+ complexes for the oxidation and production of H2, catalysts with diphosphine ligands containing pendant amines have also been demonstrated for several metals for many different reactions, both in solution and immobilized on surfaces. The impact of pendant amines in catalyst design continues to expand.

Abstract
One of the major goals of bioinorganic chemistry has been to mimic the function of elegant metalloenzymes. Such functional modeling has been difficult to attain in solution, in particular, for reactions that require multiple protons and multiple electrons (nH+/ne-). Using a combination of heterogeneous electrochemistry, electrode and molecule design one may control both electron transfer (ET) and proton transfer (PT) of these nH+/ne- reactions. Such control can allow functional modeling of hydrogenases (H+ + e- → 1/2 H2), cytochrome c oxidase (O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ → 2 H2O), monooxygenases (RR'CH2 + O2 + 2 e- + 2 H+ → RR'CHOH + H2O) and dioxygenases (S + O2 → SO2; S = organic substrate) in aqueous medium and at room temperatures. In addition, these heterogeneous constructs allow probing unnatural bioinspired reactions and estimation of the inner- and outer-sphere reorganization energy of small molecules and proteins.

Abstract
Hydrogenases are biotechnologically relevant metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible conversion of molecular hydrogen into protons and electrons. The O2-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenases from Cupriavidus necator (formerly Ralstonia eutropha) are of particular interest as they maintain catalysis even in the presence of molecular oxygen. However, to meet the demands of biotechnological applications and scientific research, a heterologous production strategy is required to overcome the low production yields in their native host. We have previously used the regulatory hydrogenase (RH) from C. necator as a model for the development of such a heterologous hydrogenase production process in E. coli. Although high protein yields were obtained, the purified enzyme was inactive due to the lack of the catalytic center, which contains an inorganic nickel-iron cofactor. In the present study, we significantly improved the production process to obtain catalytically active RH. We optimized important factors such as O2 content, metal availability, production temperature and time as well as the co-expression of RH-specific maturase genes. The RH was successfully matured during aerobic cultivation of E. coli by co-production of seven hydrogenase-specific maturases and a nickel permease, which was confirmed by activity measurements and spectroscopic investigations of the purified enzyme. The improved production conditions resulted in a high yield of about 80 mg L–1 of catalytically active RH and an up to 160-fold space-time yield in E. coli compared to that in the native host C. necator [<0.1 U (L d) –1]. Our strategy has important implications for the use of E. coli K-12 and B strains in the recombinant production of complex metalloenzymes, and provides a blueprint for the production of catalytically active [NiFe]-hydrogenases in biotechnologically relevant quantities.
