Abstract
In this study, we present two fully characterized nickel tetrathiocyanocorroles, representing a novel class of 3d-metallocorroles. These nickel(II) ions form square planar complexes, exhibiting a d8-electronic configuration. These anionic complexes are stabilized by the electron-withdrawing SCN groups on the bipyrrole unit of the corrole. The reduced aromaticity in these anionic nickel(II) corrole complexes is evidenced by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and a markedly altered absorption profile, with stronger Q bands compared to Soret bands. Notably, the UV-Vis and electrochemical data exhibit significant differences from previously reported nickel(II) corrole radical cation and nickel(II) porphyrin complexes. While these electrochemical data bear a resemblance to those of the anionic nickel(II) corrole by Gross et al., the UV-Vis data show substantial distinctions. Additionally, we explore the utilization of nickel(II)-corrole@CC (where CC denotes carbon cloth) as an electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline medium. During electrochemical water oxidation, the molecular catalyst is partially converted to nickel (oxy)hydroxide, Ni(O)OH. The structure reveals the coexistence of the molecular complex and Ni(O)OH in the active catalyst, achieving a turnover frequency (TOF) of 3.32 × 10-2 s-1. The synergy between the homogeneous and heterogeneous phases improves the OER activity, providing more active sites and edge sites and enhancing interfacial charge transfer.

Abstract
In the domain of exchange-coupled polynuclear transition-metal (PNTM) clusters, local emergent symmetries exist which can be exploited to greatly increase the sparsity of the configuration interaction (CI) eigensolutions of such systems. Sparsity of the CI secular problem is revealed by exploring the site permutation space within spin-adapted many-body bases, and highly compressed wave functions may arise by finding optimal site orderings. However, the factorial cost of searching through the permutation space remains a bottleneck for clusters with a large number of metal centers. In this work, we explore ways to reduce the factorial scaling, by combining permutation and point group symmetry arguments, and using commutation relations between cumulative partial spin and the Hamiltonian operators, . Certain site orderings lead to commuting operators, from which more sparse wave functions arise. Two graphical strategies will be discussed, one to rapidly evaluate the commutators of interest, and one in the form of a tree search algorithm to predict how many and which distinct site permutations are to be analyzed, eliminating redundancies in the permutation space. Particularly interesting is the case of the singlet spin states for which an additional reversal symmetry can be utilized to further reduce the number of distinct site permutations.

Abstract
The water oxidation half reaction in water splitting for hydrogen production is extremely rate-limiting. This study reports the synthesis of two heterometallic clusters (Gd6Cu24-IM and Gd6Cu24-AC) for application as efficient water oxidation catalysts. Interestingly, the maximum turnover frequency of Gd6Cu24-IM in an NaAc solution of a weak acid (pH 6) was 319 s-1. The trimetallic catalytic site, H2O-GdIIICuII2-H2O, underwent two consecutive two-electron two-proton coupled transfer processes to form high-valent GdIII-O-O-CuIII2 intermediates. Furthermore, the O-O bond was formed via intramolecular interactions between the CuIII and GdIII centers. The results of this study revealed that synergistic catalytic water oxidation between polymetallic sites can be an effective strategy for regulating O-O bond formation.

Abstract
Strong electron correlation effects are one of the major challenges in modern quantum chemistry. Polynuclear transition metal clusters are peculiar examples of systems featuring such forms of electron correlation. Multireference strategies, often based on but not limited to the concept of complete active space, are adopted to accurately account for strong electron correlation and to resolve their complex electronic structures. However, transition metal clusters already containing four magnetic centers with multiple unpaired electrons make conventional active space based strategies prohibitively expensive, due to their unfavorable scaling with the size of the active space. In this work, forefront techniques, such as density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC), and multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MCPDFT), are employed to overcome the computational limitation of conventional multireference approaches and to accurately investigate the magnetic interactions taking place in a [Co(II)3Er(III)(OR)4] (chemical formula [Co(II)3Er(III)(hmp)4(μ2-OAc)2(OH)3(H2O)], hmp = 2-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine) model cubane water oxidation catalyst. Complete active spaces with up to 56 electrons in 56 orbitals have been constructed for the seven energetically lowest different spin states. Relative energies, local spin, and spin-spin correlation values are reported and provide crucial insights on the spin interactions for this model system, pivotal in the rationalization of the catalytic activity of this system in the water-splitting reaction. A ferromagnetic ground state is found with a very small, ∼50 cm-1, highest-to-lowest spin gap. Moreover, for the energetically lowest states, S = 3-6, the three Co(II) sites exhibit parallel aligned spins, and for the lower states, S = 0-2, two Co(II) sites retain strong parallel spin alignment.

Abstract
In this study, a new method for the synthesis of heterometallic 3d-4f alkoxides by the direct reaction of metallic lanthanides (La, Pr, Nd, Gd) with MCl2 (M = Mn, Ni, Co) in 2-methoxyethanol was developed. The method was applied to the synthesis of the heterometallic oxo-alkoxide clusters [Ln4Mn2(μ6-O)(μ3-OR)8(HOR)xCl6] (Ln = La (1), Nd (2), Gd (3); x = 0, 2, 4); [Pr4M2(μ6-O)(μ3-OR)8(HOR)xCl6] (M = Co (4), Ni (5); x = 2, 4); and [Ln4Mn2(μ3-OH)2(μ3-OR)4(μ-OR)4(μ-Cl)2(HOR)4Cl6] (Ln = La (11) and Pr (12)). Mechanistic investigation led to the isolation of the homo- and heterometallic intermediates [Pr(μ-OR)(μ-Cl)(HOR)Cl]n (6), [Co4(μ3-OR)4(HOR)4Cl4] (7), [Ni4(μ3-OR)4(HOEt)4Cl4] (8), [Mn4(μ3-OR)4(HOR)2(HOEt)2Cl4] (9), and [Nd(HOR)4Cl][CoCl4] (10). In the presence of an external M(II) source at 1100 °C, 1-4 and 12 were selectively converted into binary metal oxide nanomaterials with trigonal or orthorhombic perovskite structures, i.e., LaMnO3, GdMnO3, NdMnO3, Pr0.9MnO3, and PrCoO3. Compound 5 decomposed into a mixture of homo- and heterometallic oxides. The method presented provides a valuable platform for the preparation of advanced heterometallic oxide materials with promising magnetic, luminescence, and/or catalytic applications.

Abstract
The discovered giant clusters are always highly symmetric owing to the spontaneous assembly of one or two basic units. Herein we report the Gd44 Co28 crown and Gd95 Co60 cage, formulated as [Gd44 Co28 (IDA)20 (OH)72 (CO3 )12 (OAc)28 (H2 O)64 ]⋅(ClO4 )24 and [Na4 Gd95 Co60 (IDA)40 (OH)150 (CO3 )40 (OAc)58 (H2 O)164 ] ⋅ (ClO4 )41 (H2 IDA=iminodiacetic acid), respectively, by providing a library containing multiple low-nuclearity units. The heart-like units and crown-like tetramer found in both compounds indicate unprecedented assembly levels, leading to an atypical geometry characteristic compared to the giant clusters directly assembled by regular units. These two clusters not only significantly increase the size of Ln-Co clusters but also exhibit the enhanced magnetic entropy change at ultra-low temperatures. This work provided an effective way to fabricate cluster compounds with giant size and geometry complexity simultaneously.

Abstract
The Fenton-like process catalyzed by metal-free materials is one promising strategy for water purification, but to develop catalysts with adequate activity, complicated preparation/modification processes and harsh conditions are always needed, greatly increasing the costs for industrialization. Herein, we developed an ultrafast and facile strategy to convert various inefficient commercial nanocarbons into highly active catalysts by noncovalent functionalization with polyethylenimine (PEI). The n-doping by PEI could create net charge on the carbon plane and greatly enhance the electron mobility, rendering the catalyst much higher persulfate activation efficiency. Such interface engineering represents an innovative, simple, yet effective, strategy for boosting activities of nanocarbons, providing a conceptual advance to design cost-effective and highly efficient catalysts in environmental remediation, chemical synthesis, and fuel-cell applications. The Fenton-like process catalyzed by metal-free materials presents one of the most promising strategies to deal with the ever-growing environmental pollution. However, to develop improved catalysts with adequate activity, complicated preparation/modification processes and harsh conditions are always needed. Herein, we proposed an ultrafast and facile strategy to convert various inefficient commercial nanocarbons into highly active catalysts by noncovalent functionalization with polyethylenimine (PEI). The modified catalysts could be in situ fabricated by direct addition of PEI aqueous solution into the nanocarbon suspensions within 30 s and without any tedious treatment. The unexpectedly high catalytic activity is even superior to that of the single-atom catalyst and could reach as high as 400 times higher than the pristine carbon material. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that PEI creates net negative charge via intermolecular charge transfer, rendering the catalyst higher persulfate activation efficiency.

Abstract
The four-electron oxidation of water (2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-) is considered the main bottleneck in artificial photosynthesis. In nature, this reaction is catalysed by a Mn4CaO5 cluster embedded in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. Ruthenium-based complexes have been successful artificial molecular catalysts for mimicking this reaction. However, for practical and large-scale applications in the future, molecular catalysts that contain earth-abundant first-row transition metal ions are preferred owing to their high natural abundance, low risk of depletion, and low costs. In this review, the frontier of water oxidation reactions mediated by first-row transition metal complexes is described. Special attention is paid towards the design of molecular structures of the catalysts and their reaction mechanisms, and these factors are expected to serve as guiding principles for creating efficient and robust molecular catalysts for water oxidation using ubiquitous elements.

Abstract
Two biologically inspired tetranuclear nickel complexes [Ni4(L-H)4(CH3COO)3]·Cl (1) and [Ni4(L-H)4(CH3COO)4]·2CH3OH (2) (L = di(pyridin-2-yl)methanediol) have been synthesized and investigated by a combination of X-ray crystallography, PXRD, electrochemistry, in-situ UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry and DLS. Both of the two complexes feature a core composed of four Ni(II) ions with the same peripheral ligation provided by the anionic di(pyridin-2-yl)methanediol and MeCOO- ligands. Whereas, complex 1 possesses one distorted cubane-like [Ni4(µ3-O)4] core, while 2 has one extended butterfly-like [Ni4(µ3-O)2] core. The homogeneous electrocatalytic reactivity of the two water-soluble complexes for water oxidation have been thoroughly studied, which demonstrates that both of them can efficiently electrocatalyze water oxidation with high stability under alkaline conditions, at relatively low over-potentials (η) of 420-790 mV for 1 and 390-780 mV for 2, both in the pH range of 7.67-12.32, with the high TOF of about 139 s-1 (1) and 69 s-1 (2) at pH = 12.32, respectively. By a series of comparative experiments for complexes 1 and 2, we proposed that their crystal geometries play an important role in their electrocatalytic reactivity for water oxidation. We verified that biomimetic cubane geometry could promote OER catalysis with two very similar compounds for the first time. Compared with 2, the biomimetic cubane topology of 1 could promote OER catalysis by facilitating efficient charge delocalization and electron-transfer.

Abstract
A new Ni(ii) complex [NiL] (complex 1) of an asymmetrically di-condensed N2O3 donor Schiff base ligand, N-salicylidene-N'-3-methoxysalicylidene-1,3-propanediamine (H2L), has been synthesized and utilized for the synthesis of three heterometallic complexes, [(NiL)2Mn(NCS)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (2) [(NiL)2Mn(N(CN)2)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (3) and [(NiL)2Mn2(N3)2(μ1,1-N3)2(CH3OH)2] (4). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that complexes 2 and 3 have linear trinuclear structures where two tridentate O3 donor (NiL) units are coordinated to the central octahedral Mn(ii) centre, whereas complex 4 has a centrosymmetric tetranuclear structure where two binuclear (NiL)Mn units are linked via two phenoxido and two μ1,1-N3 bridges. Among the heterometallic complexes (2-4), only 4 is active towards the catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol to the corresponding quinone. The turnover number for the aerobic oxidation of 3,5-DTBC is 935 h-1. ESI-mass spectra have been recorded to scrutinize the mechanistic pathway of this catalytic reaction. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest that complexes 2-4 are antiferromagnetically coupled with coupling constants (J) of -4.84 and -5.23 cm-1 for complexes 2 and 3, respectively and J1 = -2.20 cm-1, J2 = 1.13 cm-1 and J3 = -1.12 cm-1 for complex 4. DFT calculations have been used to rationalize the magnetic super-exchange in complexes 2-4, by computing the theoretical coupling constants and analyzing the spin density plots.

Abstract
Here we report for the first time soluble lanthanide-transition-metal clusters Ln36Co12 (Ln = Eu, Gd and Dy) as effective homogeneous water oxidation electrocatalysts. The stable 48-metal Ln36Co12 clusters show an effective water oxidation activity under acidic conditions because of the synergistic effect between lanthanide and transition metals in O-O bond formation.

Abstract
A doubly N-confused hexaphyrin dinuclear cobalt complex (Co2DNCH) is revealed as an efficient water oxidation catalyst, outperforming the mononuclear cobalt porphyrin with the same aryl group as those in Co2DNCH. By photoirradiation of a water/acetone-d6 (9:1) mixture containing Co2DNCH, [RuII(bpy)3]2+, and S2O82- as the water oxidation catalyst, photosensitizer, and sacrificial electron acceptor, respectively, with visible light, O2 was obtained as the maximum with turnover number = 1200, turnover frequency = 3.9 s-1, and quantum yield = 0.30.

Abstract
This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a 3d-4f bimetallic complex based on the redox-active macrocyclic biquinazoline ligand, Mabiq. The mixed Yb-Ni complex, [(Cp*)2Yb(Mabiq)Ni]BArF (3), was synthesized upon reaction of [NiII(Mabiq)]BArF (2) with (Cp*)2YbII(OEt2). The molecular structures of 3 and its sister complex, [(Cp*)2Yb(Mabiq)Ni][(Cp*)2Yb(OTf)2] (1), confirmed the presence of a Yb(III) center and a reduced Ni-Mabiq unit. Spectroscopy (absorption and NMR), cyclic voltammetry, and magnetic susceptibility studies were employed to analyze the electronic structure of 3, which is best described by the [(Cp*)2YbIII(Mabiq•)NiII]+ formulation. Notably, the ligand-centered radical is delocalized over both the diketiminate and bipyrimidine units of the Mabiq ligand. The magnetic susceptibility and variable temperature NMR studies for 3 denote coupling between the Ni-Mabiq site and the peripheral Yb center-previously unobserved in 3d-3d Mabiq complexes. The complex nature of the exchange interactions is highlighted by the multiconfigurational ground state for 3, comprising nearly degenerate singlet and triplet states.

Abstract
Photosynthesis in nature uses the Mn4CaO5 cluster as the oxygen-evolving center to catalyze the water oxidation efficiently in photosystem II. Herein, we demonstrate bio-inspired heterometallic LnCo3 (Ln = Nd, Eu and Ce) clusters, which can be viewed as synthetic analogs of the CaMn4O5 cluster. Anchoring LnCo3 on phosphorus-doped graphitic carbon nitrides (PCN) shows efficient overall water splitting without any sacrificial reagents. The NdCo3/PCN-c photocatalyst exhibits excellent water splitting activity and a quantum efficiency of 2.0% at 350 nm. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy revealed the transfer of a photoexcited electron and hole into the PCN and LnCo3 for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, respectively. A density functional theory (DFT) calculation showed the cooperative water activation on lanthanide and O−O bond formation on transition metal for water oxidation. This work not only prepares a synthetic model of a bio-inspired oxygen-evolving center but also provides an effective strategy to realize light-driven overall water splitting.

Abstract
Two new homo chiral Cu-Ln (Ln = Gd and Ho) compounds bearing a chiral Schiff base ligand (1R,3S)-N',N''-bis[3-methoxysalicylidene]-1,3-diamino-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane (H2L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The compounds were found to exhibit 1D zig-zag skeletons with double μ-1,5 bridging dicyanamide anions. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra have been used to verify their chiroptical activities. Magnetic studies suggest that 1 and 2 hold the same magnetic behavior with the dinuclear compounds presenting ferromagnetic interaction. Furthermore, both compounds show ferroelectricity with the remnant polarization (P r) value of 0.23 and 0.18 μC cm-2 at room temperature, respectively.

Abstract
A series of heterometallic Ln-Cr clusters with the formulas [Ln5Cr2(H2L)2(OAc)6(μ3-OH)6(H2O)15](ClO4)7·xH2O (Ln = Gd and x = 33 for 1 and Ln = Dy and x = 21 for 2) and [Ln8Cr4(H2L)4(OAc)8(μ3-OH)16(μ4-O)1(H2O)8](Cl)(ClO4)5·10H2O (Ln = Gd for 3 and Ln = Dy for 4) was obtained through the reaction of the acetate ligands 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid (H3L) and Ln(ClO4)3 in the presence of chromium salts with different anions under the same high pH conditions. X-ray analysis revealed that compound 1 contained a metal unit [Gd3Cr2] displaying the pentagonal bipyramid configuration and that compound 3 was templated by Cl- and ClO4- as a mixed anion template featuring a quadrangular structure. In compound 3, the 12 metal atoms were arranged in a wheel-shaped metal skeleton [Gd8Cr4], which was produced by 4 tetrahedral metal units [Gd3Cr] sharing vertices. The introduction of the mixed anion template increased the number of metal atoms in the Ln-Cr clusters. Magnetic calculations indicated that there was weak antiferromagnetic Gd···Cr coupling and weak ferromagnetic Gd···Gd coupling in 1, whereas both Gd···Cr and Gd···Gd in 3 exhibited weak antiferromagnetic interactions. Magnetothermal studies showed that compounds 1 and 3 displayed magnetic entropy changes of 25.2 J kg-1 K-1 at 5 K and 7 T and 33.8 J kg-1 K-1 at 2 K and 7 T, respectively.

Abstract
Water oxidation is the primary reaction of both natural and artificial photosynthesis. Developing active and robust water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is the key to constructing efficient artificial photosynthesis systems, but it is still facing enormous challenges in both fundamental and applied aspects. Here, the recent developments in molecular catalysts and heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts are reviewed with special emphasis on biomimetic catalysts and the integration of WOCs into artificial photosystems. The highly efficient artificial photosynthesis depends largely on active WOCs integrated into light harvesting materials via rational interface engineering based on in-depth understanding of charge dynamics and the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
While loading of cocatalysts is one of the most widely investigated strategies to promote the efficiency of photoelectrodes, the understanding of their functionality remains controversial. We established new hybrid molecular photoanodes with cobalt-based molecular cubane cocatalysts on hematite as a model system. Photoelectrochemical and rate law analyses revealed an interesting functionality transition of the {Co(II)4O4}-type cocatalysts. Their role changed from predominant hole reservoirs to catalytic centers upon modulation of the applied bias. Kinetic analysis of the photoelectrochemical processes indicated that this observed transition arises from the dynamic equilibria of photogenerated surface charge carriers. Most importantly, we confirmed this functional transition of the cocatalysts and the related kinetic properties for several cobalt-based molecular and heterogeneous catalysts, indicating wide applicability of the derived trends. Additionally, complementary analytical characterizations show that a transformation of the applied molecular species occurs at higher applied bias, pointing to a dynamic interplay connecting molecular and heterogeneous catalysis. Our insights promote the essential understanding of efficient (molecular) cocatalyzed photoelectrode systems to design tailor-made hybrid devices for a wide range of catalytic applications.

Abstract
Predictive and mechanistically driven access to polynuclear oxo clusters and related materials remains a grand challenge of inorganic chemistry. We here introduce a novel strategy for synthetic control over highly sought-after transition metal {M4O4} cubanes. They attract interest as molecular water oxidation catalysts that combine features of both heterogeneous oxide catalysts and nature's cuboidal {CaMn4O5} center of photosystem II. For the first time, we demonstrate the outstanding structure-directing effect of straightforward inorganic counteranions in solution on the self-assembly of oxo clusters. We introduce a selective counteranion toolbox for the controlled assembly of di(2-pyridyl) ketone (dpk) with M(OAc)2 (M = Co, Ni) precursors into different cubane types. Perchlorate anions provide selective access to type 2 cubanes with the characteristic {H2O-M2(OR)2-OH2} edge-site, such as [Co4(dpy-C{OH}O)4(OAc)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2. Type 1 cubanes with separated polar faces [Co4(dpy-C{OH}O)4(L2)4] n+ (L2 = OAc, Cl, or OAc and H2O) can be tuned with a wide range of other counteranions. The combination of these counteranion sets with Ni(OAc)2 as precursor selectively produces type 2 Co/Ni-mixed or {Ni4O4} cubanes. Systematic mechanistic experiments in combination with computational studies provide strong evidence for type 2 cubane formation through reaction of the key dimeric building block [M2(dpy-C{OH}O)2(H2O)4]2+ with monomers, such as [Co(dpy-C{OH}O)(OAc)(H2O)3]. Furthermore, both experiments and DFT calculations support an energetically favorable type 1 cubane formation pathway via direct head-to-head combination of two [Co2(dpy-C{OH}O)2(OAc)2(H2O)2] dimers. Finally, the visible-light-driven water oxidation activity of type 1 and 2 cubanes with tuned ligand environments was assessed. We pave the way to efficient design concepts in coordination chemistry through ionic control over cluster assembly pathways. Our comprehensive strategy demonstrates how retrosynthetic analyses can be implemented with readily available assembly directing counteranions to provide rapid access to tuned molecular materials.

Abstract
Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP). However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years because of doubt about the long-term stability of molecular-catalyst-based devices. This review summarizes the development history of molecular-catalyst-based AP, including the fundamentals of AP, molecular catalysts for water oxidation, proton reduction and CO2 reduction, and molecular-catalyst-based AP devices, and it provides an analysis of the advantages, challenges, and stability of molecular catalysts. With this review, we aim to highlight the following points: (i) an investigation on molecular catalysis is one of the most promising ways to obtain atom-efficient catalysts with outstanding intrinsic activities; (ii) effective heterogenization of molecular catalysts is currently the primary challenge for the application of molecular catalysis in AP devices; (iii) development of molecular catalysts is a promising way to solve the problems of catalysis involved in practical solar fuel production. In molecular-catalysis-based AP, much has been attained, but more challenges remain with regard to long-term stability and heterogenization techniques.
