Abstract
While polymers containing chain or ring motifs in their backbone are ubiquitous, those containing well-defined molecular cages are very rare and essentially unknown for the inorganic elements. We report that a rigid and dinucleophilic cage (PNSiMe3)2(NMe)6, which is chemically robust and accessible on a multi-gram scale from commercial precursors, serves as a linear and divalent connector that forms cage-dense inorganic materials. Reaction of the cage with various ditopic P(III) dihalide comonomers proceeded via Me3SiCl elimination to give high molecular weight (30 000-70 000 g mol-1), solution-processable polymers that form free-standing films. The end groups of the polymers could be tuned to engender orthogonal reactivity and form block copolymers. Networked cage-dense materials could be accessed by using PCl3 as a tritopic P(III) linker. Detailed mechanistic studies implicate a stepwise polycondensation that proceeds via phosphino-phosphonium ion intermediates, prior to Me3SiCl loss. Thus, metathesis between the dinucleophilic cage and polyhalides represents a general strategy to making cage-dense polymers, setting the stage for systematically understanding the consequences of the three-dimensional microstructure on macroscopic material properties.

Abstract
Tetraarylmethanes and adamantanes are important rigid covalent connectors that play a four-way scaffolding role in molecular and materials chemistry. We report the synthesis of a new tetravalent phosphaza-adamantane cage, (PNSiMe3 )4 (NMe)6 (2), that shows high thermal, air, and redox stability due to its geometry. It nevertheless participates in covalent four-fold functionalization reactions along its periphery. The combination of a robust core and reactive corona makes 2 a convenient inorganic scaffold upon which tetrahedral molecular and macromolecular chemistry can be constructed. This potential is demonstrated by the synthesis of a tetrakis(bis(phosphine)iminium) ion (in compound 3) and the first all P/N poly(phosphazene) network (5).

Abstract
Here, we present an investigation of the thermochemistry of proton uptake in acetonitrile across three charge states of a polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (POV-alkoxide) cluster, [V6O7(OMe)12]n (n = 2-, 1-, and 0). The vanadium oxide assembly studied features bridging sites saturated by methoxide ligands, isolating protonation to terminal vanadyl moieties. Exposure of [V6O7(OMe)12]n to organic acids of appropriate strength results in the protonation of a terminal V═O bond, generating the transient hydroxide-substituted POV-alkoxide cluster [V6O6(OH)(OMe)12]n+1. Evidence for this intermediate proved elusive in our initial report, but here we present the isolation of a divalent anionic cluster that features hydrogen bonding to dimethylammonium at the terminal oxo site. Degradation of the protonated species results in the formation of equimolar quantities of one-electron-oxidized and oxygen-atom-efficient complexes, [V6O7(OMe)12]n+1 and [V6O6(OMe)12]n+1. While analogous reactivity was observed across the three charge states of the cluster, a dependence on the acid strength was observed, suggesting that the oxidation state of the vanadium oxide assembly influences the basicity of the cluster surface. Spectroscopic investigations reveal sigmoidal relationships between the acid strength and cluster conversion across the redox series, allowing for determination of the proton affinity of the surface of the cluster in all three charge states. The fully reduced cluster is found to be the most basic, with higher oxidation states of the assembly possessing substantially reduced proton affinities (∼7 pKa units per electron). These results further our understanding of the site-specific reactivity of terminal M═O bonds with protons in an organic solvent, revealing design criteria for engineering functional surfaces of metal oxide materials of relevance to energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
The uptake of hydrogen atoms (H-atoms) into reducible metal oxides has implications in catalysis and energy storage. However, outside of computational modeling, it is difficult to obtain insight into the physicochemical factors that govern H-atom uptake at the atomic level. Here, we describe oxygen-atom vacancy formation in a series of hexavanadate assemblies via proton-coupled electron transfer, presenting a novel pathway for the formation of defect sites at the surface of redox-active metal oxides. Kinetic investigations reveal that H-atom transfer to the metal oxide surface occurs through concerted proton-electron transfer, resulting in the formation of a transient VIII-OH2 moiety that, upon displacement of the water ligand with an acetonitrile molecule, forms the oxygen-deficient polyoxovanadate-alkoxide cluster. Oxidation state distribution of the cluster core dictates the affinity of surface oxido ligands for H-atoms, mirroring the behavior of reducible metal oxide nanocrystals. Ultimately, atomistic insights from this work provide new design criteria for predictive proton-coupled electron-transfer reactivity of terminal M═O moieties at the surface of nanoscopic metal oxides.

Abstract
The reductively disilylated N-heterocyclic systems 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1-aza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (1Si), 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine (2Si) and its methyl derivatives (3Si and 4Si), and 1,1'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-4,4'-bipyridinylidene (5Si) are proficient organosilicon reagents owing to their low first vertical ionization potentials and the heterophilicity of the polarized N-Si bonds. These have prompted their reactivity as two-electron reductants or reductive silylations. These reactions benefit from the concomitant rearomatization of the N-heterocycles and liberation of trimethylsilyl halides or (Me3Si)2O, which are mostly volatile or easily removable byproducts. In this perspective, we have discussed the utilization of these reductively disilylated N-heterocyclic systems as versatile reagents in the salt-free reduction of transition metals (A) and main-group halides (B), in organic transformations (C) and in materials syntheses (D).

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterisation of a series of siloxide-functionalised polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (POV-alkoxide) clusters, [V6O6(OSiMe3)(OMe)12] n (n = 1-, 2-), that serve as molecular models for proton and hydrogen-atom uptake in vanadium dioxide, respectively. Installation of a siloxide moiety on the surface of the Lindqvist core was accomplished via addition of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethylsulfonate to the fully-oxygenated cluster [V6O7(OMe)12]2-. Characterisation of [V6O6(OSiMe3)(OMe)12]1- by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the incorporation of the siloxide group does not result in charge separation within the hexavanadate assembly, an observation that contrasts directly with the behavior of clusters bearing substitutional dopants. The reduced assembly, [V6O6(OSiMe3)(OMe)12]2-, provides an isoelectronic model for H-doped VO2, with a vanadium(iii) ion embedded within the cluster core. Notably, structural analysis of [V6O6(OSiMe3)(OMe)12]2- reveals bond perturbations at the siloxide-functionalised vanadium centre that resemble those invoked upon H-atom uptake in VO2 through ab initio calculations. Our results offer atomically precise insight into the local structural and electronic consequences of the installation of hydrogen-atom-like dopants in VO2, and challenge current perspectives of the operative mechanism of electron-proton co-doping in these materials.

Abstract
The Mo=PR2 π* orbital in a Mo phosphenium complex acts as acceptor in a new PIII -based Lewis superacid. This Lewis acid (LA) participates in electrophilic Si-H abstraction from E3 SiH to give a Mo-bound secondary phosphine ligand, Mo-PR2 H. The resulting Et3 Si+ ion remains associated with the Mo complex, stabilized by η1 -P-H donation, yet undergoes rapid exchange with an η1 -Si-H adduct of free silane in solution. The equilibrium between these two adducts presents an opportunity to assess the role of this new LA in catalytic reactions of silanes: is the LA acting as a catalyst or as an initiator? Preliminary results suggest that a cycle including the Mo-bound phosphine-silylium adduct dominates in the catalytic hydrosilylation of acetophenone, relative to a putative cycle involving the silane-silylium adduct or "free" silylium.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of new Lewis-acidic boranes tethered to redox-active vanadium centers, (Ph2N)3V(μ-N)B(C6F5)2 (1a) and (N(CH2CH2N(C6F5))3)V(μ-N)B(C6F5)2 (1b). Redox control of the VIV/V couple resulted in switchable borane versus "hidden" boron radical reactivity, mimicking frustrated Lewis versus frustrated radical pair (FLP/FRP) chemistry, respectively. Whereas heterolytic FLP-type addition reactions were observed with the VV complex (1b) in the presence of a bulky phosphine, homolytic peroxide, or Sn-hydride bond cleavage reactions were observed with the VIV complex, [CoCp2*][(N(CH2CH2N(C6F5))3)V(μ-N)B(C6F5)2] (3b), indicative of boron radical anion character. The extent of radical character was probed by spectroscopic and computational means. Together, these results demonstrate that control of the VIV/V oxidation states allows these compounds to access reactivity observed in both FLP and FRP chemistry.

Abstract
Phosphonyl radicals ([R2P[double bond, length as m-dash]O]˙) and their adducts are proposed as intermediates in a number of important chemical and biological processes. Despite the great interest in these species, there are no examples of stable, isolated phosphonyl radicals or their adducts reported in the literature. Here we report the synthesis, EPR and theoretical study of stable, isolable cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (cAAC)-phosphonyl radical adducts, [cAAC-P(O)R2]˙ (R = OPri, Ph).

Abstract
Considering the importance of dopamine (DA) detection for neuroscience and disease diagnosis, herein, an electrochemical sensor for dopamine is described. It is based on the use of a Ni-Co-P nanostructure fabricated on nickel foam via electrode position from cobalt chloride and ammonium phosphate for 10 min. Time-dependent experiments show the transformation of Ni-Co-P nanoparticles to spheres. The resulting electrode display excellent electrochemical response to DA. Figures of merit include (a) a working potential of 0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl); (b) an electrochemical sensitivity of 5262 μA mM-1 cm-2; (c) a wide linear range (from 0.5 to 2350 μM), and (d) a 1 μM detection limit. The outstanding electrochemical performance is explained by the synergistic effects of large surface area, improved electron transfer, presence of free binders, and the presence of three active components (nickel, cobalt and phosphonium ion). Graphical abstract A Ni-Co-P nanostructure was electrodeposited on nickel foam to obtain an electrochemical sensor for amperometric determination of dopamine with outstanding performance.

1,4-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene, 1, was tested as a reagent for the reductive silylation of various unsaturated functionalities, including N-heterocycles, quinones, and other redox-active moieties in addition to deoxygenation of main group oxides. Whereas most reactions tested are thermodynamically favorable, based on DFT calculations, a few do not occur, perhaps giving limited insight on the mechanism of this very attractive reductive process. Of note, reductive silylation reactions show a strong solvent dependence where a polar solvent facilitates conversions.

Abstract
Chemical reduction of transition metals provides the corresponding low-valent transition metal species as a key step for generating catalytically active species in metal-assisted organic transformations and is a fundamental unit reaction for preparing organometallic complexes. A variety of metal-based reductants, such as metal powders and organometallic reagents of alkali and alkaline-earth metals, have been developed to date to access low-valent metal species. During the reduction, however, reductant-derived metal salts are formed as reaction waste, some of which often interact with the reactive low-valent metal center, thereby disrupting the catalytic performance and hampering the isolation of organometallic complexes as a result of salt coordination to the coordinatively unsaturated vacant and active sites and the formation of thermally unstable ate complexes. In this Account, we emphasize the synthetic utility and versatility of organic reductants containing two trimethylsilyl groups, i.e., 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene (1a) and its methyl derivative (1b), 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)dihydropyrazine (2a) and its dimethyl (2b) and tetramethyl (2c) derivatives, and 1,1'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-4,4'-bipyridinylidene (3), leading to the reduction of various kinds of metal compounds in a salt-free fashion by release of two electrons together with the coproduction of easily removable (hetero)aromatics and trimethylsilyl derivatives from these organic reductants 1-3. When homoleptic chlorides of group 5 and 6 metals are treated with 1a and 1b, in situ-generated highly reactive low-valent metal species react with redox-active molecules such as ethylene, α-diimines, and α-diketones to produce metallacyclopentane, (ene-diamido)metal, and (ene-diolato)metal complexes, respectively. The advantage of the salt-free protocol is further exemplified in the low-valent titanocene-catalyzed Reformatsky-type reaction when 2c is used as a reductant: the yield of the product using the organosilicon reductant is higher than that when manganese powder is used as the reductant for the catalytic Reformatsky-type reaction of ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate and its derivatives with various aldehydes. Moreover, when halides, carboxylates, and acetylacetonate compounds of late transition metals and main-group elements are treated with the organosilicon reductant 2c, metal(0) particles are smoothly precipitated under mild conditions. Among them, metallic nickel(0) nanoparticles are applicable to reductive biaryl formation and reductive cross-coupling of aryl halides/aryl aldehydes. In addition, reduction of the heterogeneous catalysts on a solid supporting matrix was also achieved by this salt-free reduction method; volatile byproducts are easily removed from the catalyst surface without suppressing the catalytic performance. Thus, the salt-free reduction strategy is a very powerful synthetic method that can be extended to various metals throughout the periodic table.
