Abstract
Based on their general spacial flexibility, their Lewis and Brønsted basicity, and ability to mimic second sphere effects the 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane ligand family and their complexes have regained substantial scientific interest. It was now possible to structurally analyze a recently reported member of this family with p-tolyl and t-butyl substituents on P and N, respectively, (P2 p-tolN2 tBu). Notably, the ligand crystallizes with a 'twisted' backbone. This compound is the very first of its kind to have been unambiguously characterized with regard to its chemical and molecular structure as being in this conformation. A temperature-dependent NMR study provides insight into the molecular dynamics of two isomers in solution, which are most likely also both twisted, as judged by the observed limited reactivity. Despite the in principle unfavorable conformation of the free ligand, it was successfully chelated to tungsten and molybdenum centers in mononuclear carbonyl complexes. The ligand, a derivative thereof and four new complexes were comprehensively characterized and analyzed in comparison. This includes single crystal XRD molecular structures of P2 p-tolN2 tBu and all four complexes. P2 p-tolN2 tBu, regardless of its twisted conformation, is able to coordinate to metal centers given that enough energy (heat) for a conformational change is provided.

Enhancement of Reactivity of a Ru IV-Oxo Complex in Oxygen-Atom-Transfer Catalysis by Hydrogen-Bonding with Amide Moieties in the Second Coordination Sphere. JACS AU 2023; 3:2813-2825.

Abstract
We have synthesized and characterized a RuII-OH2 complex (2), which has a pentadentate ligand with two pivalamide groups as bulky hydrogen-bonding (HB) moieties in the second coordination sphere (SCS). Complex 2 exhibits a coordination equilibrium through the coordination of one of the pivalamide oxygens to the Ru center in water, affording a η6-coordinated complex, 3. A detailed thermodynamic analysis of the coordination equilibrium revealed that the formation of 3 from 2 is entropy-driven owing to the dissociation of the axial aqua ligand in 2. Complex 2 was oxidized by a CeIV salt to produce the corresponding RuIII(OH) complex (5), which was characterized crystallographically. In the crystal structure of 5, hydrogen bonds are formed among the NH groups of the pivalamide moieties and the oxygen atom of the hydroxo ligand. Further 1e--oxidation of 5 yields the corresponding RuIV(O) complex, 6, which has intramolecular HB of the oxo ligand with two amide N-H protons. Additionally, the RuIII(OH) complex, 5, exhibits disproportionation to the corresponding RuIV(O) complex, 6, and a mixture of the RuII complexes, 2 and 3, in an acidic aqueous solution. We investigated the oxidation of a phenol derivative using complex 6 as the active species and clarified the switch of the reaction mechanism from hydrogen-atom transfer at pH 2.5 to electron transfer, followed by proton transfer at pH 1.0. Additionally, the intramolecular HB in 6 exerts enhancing effects on oxygen-atom transfer reactions from 6 to alkenes such as cyclohexene and its water-soluble derivative to afford the corresponding epoxides, relative to the corresponding RuIV(O) complex (6') lacking the HB moieties in the SCS.

Abstract
The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand is a cornerstone of modern organometallic chemistry. Since the discovery of ferrocene, the Cp ligand and its various derivatives have become foundational motifs in catalysis, medicine and materials science. Although largely considered an ancillary ligand for altering the stereoelectronic properties of transition metal centres, there is mounting evidence that the core Cp ring structure also serves as a reservoir for reactive protons (H+), hydrides (H-) or radical hydrogen (H•) atoms. This Review chronicles the field of Cp ring activation, highlighting the pivotal role that Cp ligands can have in electrocatalytic H2 production, N2 reduction, hydride transfer reactions and proton-coupled electron transfer.

Abstract
Two novel Iron (II) complexes featuring tetrapodal bis(benzimidazole)amino thio- and selenoether ligands (LS and LSe) were synthesized, characterized, and tested as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. The bromide complexes [Fe(LS,LSe)Br2] (1-2) are highly insoluble, but their DMSO solvates were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing an octahedral coordination environment that does not feature coordination of the chalcogen atoms. The corresponding triflate derivatives [Fe(LS,LSe)(MeCN)3]OTf2 (1c-2c) were employed for electrocatalytic proton reduction, with 1c exhibiting higher activity, thus suggesting that the thioether may participate as a more competent pendant ligand for proton transfer.

Abstract
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is one of the pillars of future non-fossil energy supply. In the quest for alternative, non-precious metal catalysts for hydrogen generation to replace platinum, biological systems such as the enzyme hydrogenase serve as a blueprint. By taking inspiration from the bio-system, mostly nickel- or iron-based catalysts were explored so far. Manganese is a known oxygen-reducing catalyst but has received much less attention for its ability to reduce protons in acidic media. Here, the synthesis, characterization, and reaction mechanisms of a series of four mono-nuclear Mn(I) complexes in terms of their catalytic performance are reported. The effect of the variation of equatorial and axial ligands in their first and second coordination spheres was assessed pertaining to their control of the turnover frequencies and overpotentials. All four complexes show reactivity and reduce protons in acidic media to release molecular hydrogen H2. Quantum chemical studies were able to assign and interpret spectral characterizations from UV–Vis and electrochemistry and rationalize the reaction mechanism. Two feasible reaction mechanisms of electrochemical (E) and protonation (C) steps were compared. Quantum chemical studies can assign peaks in the cyclic voltammetry to structural changes of the complex during the reaction. The first one-electron reduction is essential to generate an open ligand-based site for protonation. The distorted octahedral Mn complexes possess an inverted second one-electron redox potential which is a pre-requisite for a swift and facile release of molecular hydrogen. This series on manganese catalysts extends the range of elements of the periodic table which are able to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction and will be explored further.

Abstract
The bifunctional reactivity of three metal SNS (bis)amido complexes was computationally assessed by comparing the nucleophilicity of the M-Namido donor (Mn, Fe, Co). Hirshfeld charges identified the Mn-Namido donor as most nucleophilic and Fe as most electrophilic metal. Reaction energy profiles of a model bifunctional H2 activation showed Mn with the lowest reaction barrier (17 kcal mol-1), followed by Fe and Co (21 and 29 kcal mol-1).

Abstract
We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides. Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation reductive or redox-neutral, respectively. The reaction is mediated by a Ni catalyst and a 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane. This P2N2 ligand, which has previously been unrecognized in cross-coupling and related reactions, was found to avoid deleterious aryl halide reduction pathways that dominate with more traditional phosphines and NHCs. An interrupted carbonyl-Heck type mechanism is proposed to be operative, with a key 1,2-insertion step forging the new C-C bond and forming a nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by an alcohol reductant. The same catalyst was also found to enable synthesis of ketone products from either aldehydes or alcohols, demonstrating control over the oxidation state of both the starting materials and products.

Abstract
The homoleptic rhodium pyridine complex [Rh(py)4]+ ([1]+) is prepared from simple precursors. Lacking good π-acceptor ligands but being sterically protected, [1]+ reversibly oxidizes to colorless [Rh(py)4(thf)2]2+. This monomeric S = 1/2 Rh(II) complex activates H2 to give [HRh(py)4L]2+, which can also be generated by protonation of [1]+. The Rh(III)-H bond is weak, being susceptible to H atom abstraction as well as deprotonation. These results underpin a novel catalytic system for the oxidation of H2 by ferrocenium.

Abstract
This paper reports a possible mechanism of acetic acid formation from CO2, CH3I and H2 in aqueous media and the central role played by a water-soluble Rh-based electron storage catalyst. In addition to water-solubility, we also report the crystal structures of two presumed intermediates. These findings together reveal (1) the advantage of water, not only as a green solvent, but also as a reactive Lewis base to extract H+ from H2, (2) the role of the metal (Rh) centre as a point for storing electrons from H2 and (3) the importance of an electron-withdrawing ligand (quaterpyridine, qpy) that supports electron storage.

Abstract
[FeFe]-hydrogenase (H2ase) catalyzes hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs), with an excellent performance that rivals that of platinum, the active site of which is built with crucial structural features required for efficient H-H bond formation. Herein, we report a mononuclear manganese complex (1) that contains a square pyramid coordination sphere and an intramolecular aniline as the proton relay, consistent with the crucial features of the active site in H2ase. Benefitting from these features, complex 1 electrocatalyzes the HER with a turnover frequency (TOF) exceeding 10 000 s-1 at -1.45 V (versus the ferrocenium/ferrocene couple) using anilinium tetrafluoroborate as a proton source. This work provides the first Mn-based functional model of H2ase, serving as a new paradigm for a high performance, low cost, environmentally benign hydrogen production electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Splitting of molecular hydrogen (H2) into bridging and terminal hydrides is a common step in transition metal chemistry. Herein, we propose a novel organometallic platform for cleavage of multiple H2 molecules, which combines metal centers capable of stabilizing multiple oxidation states, and ligands bearing positioned pendant basic groups. Using quantum chemical modeling, we show that low-valent, early transition metal diniobium(ii) complexes with diphosphine ligands featuring pendant amines can favorably uptake up to 8 hydrogen atoms, and that the energetics are favored by the formation of intramolecular dihydrogen bonds. This result suggests new possible strategies for the development of hydrogen scavenger molecules that are able to perform reversible splitting of multiple H2 molecules.

Abstract
Understanding the thermodynamics of paramagnetic transition metal hydride complexes, especially of the abundant 3d metals, is important in the design of electrocatalysts and organometallic catalysts. The pKaMeCN([MHLn]+/[MLn) of paramagnetic hydrides in MeCN are estimated for the first time using the ligand acidity constant (LAC) equation where contributions to the pKaMeCN from each ligand are simply added together, with the sum corrected for effects of charge and 5d metals. The pKaLAC-MeCN([MHLn]+/MLn) of over 200 hydride complexes MHLn are used, along with their electrochemical potentials from the literature, in an uncommonly applied thermochemical cycle in order to reveal systematic trends in the redox couples MIII/II and MV/IV (M = Cr, Mo, W), MnII/I, ReVI/V and ReIV/III, MIII/II and MIV/III (M = Fe, Ru, Os), and MIII/II and MII/I (M = Co, Rh, and Ir) and allow the estimation of the bond dissociation free energies BDFE(MH) of the unoxidized hydrides MHLn and the prediction of the electrochemical potential for their oxidation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to validate the pKaLAC-MeCN values of hydrides of WIII, MnII, FeIII, RuIII, CoII, and NiIII. When a pKaLAC-MeCN is less than zero for a given complex [MHLn]+, the oxidation of MHLn is irreversible due to proton loss from the oxidized complex to the solvent. When pKaLAC-MeCN ≫ 0, the oxidation is reversible when there is no gross change in the coordination geometry upon a change in the redox state. Twenty paramagnetic hydrides prepared in bulk all have pKaLAC-MeCN > 8.

Abstract
Background:
An efficient, selective and durable electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction
system is a prerequisite to tackle energy and pollution-related issues. In this context, both organic
and inorganic materials have gained a significant interest worldwide.
Objective:
In the present work, the electrocatalytic reduction activity of an iron-sulphur (Fe-S) cluster,
[Fe4S4(SPh)4]2– for CO2 → carbon monoxide (CO) conversion has been investigated. The effect
of catalyst concentration on the yield of CO and H2 was determined. Besides, the influence of reaction
conditions (presence or absence of a Brønsted acid, electrolysis time etc.) on faradaic yield and
product selectivity was also investigated.
Methods:
Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was carried out on vitreous carbon electrode in 0.1 M [Bu4N]
[BF4]-DMF electrolyte. At the end of electrolysis, products were collected by tight-gas syringe and
analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) system coupled with a thermal conductivity detector.
Results:
The Fe-S cluster was found to efficiently catalyse the process on carbon electrode in 0.1 M
[Bu4N][BF4]-DMF electrolyte. Moreover, the presence of cluster shifted the reduction potential by ~
200 mV towards the positive. GC analysis confirmed the formation of CO with a current efficiency
of ca. 70%. On the other hand, 12% H2 was observed at the end of electrocatalysis.
Conclusion:
In summary, Fe-S cluster was used for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 in 0.1 M
[Bu4N][BF4]-DMF electrolyte. The use of cluster (catalyst) was found to be important for CO2 reduction
as no CO was detected in the absence of the catalyst. This study highlights the potential application
of Fe-S cluster for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) is among the most promising hydrogen storage materials. The development of efficient catalysts for the dehydrogenation of FA via molecular-level control and precise tuning remains challenging. A series of biomimetic Ir complexes was developed for the efficient dehydrogenation of FA in an aqueous solution without base addition. A high turnover frequency of 46510 h-1 was achieved at 90 °C in 1 m FA solution with complex 1 bearing pendant pyridine. Experimental and mechanistic studies revealed that the integrated pendant pyridine and pyrazole moieties of complex 1 could act as proton relay and facilitate proton shuttling in the outer coordination sphere. This study provides a new strategy to control proton transfer accurately and a new principle for the design of efficient catalysts for FA dehydrogenation.

Abstract
In order to synthesize new iron (II) complexes of 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctanes with a wider variety of the substituents on ligands heteroatoms (including functionalized ones, namely, pyridyl groups) and co-ligands, it was found that these ligands with relatively small phenyl, benzyl, and pyridin-2-yl substituents on phosphorus atoms in acetonitrile formed bis-P,P-chelate cis-complexes [L2Fe(CH3CN)2]2+ (BF4)2−, whereas P-mesityl-substituted ligand formed only monoligand P,P-complex [LFe(CH3CN)4]2+ (BF4)2−. 3,7-dibenzyl-1,5-di(1′-(R)-phenylethyl)-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane reacted with hexahydrate of iron (II) tetrafluoroborate in acetone to give an unusual bis-ligand cationic complex of the composition [L2Fe(BF4)]+ BF4−, where two fluorine atoms of the tetrafluoroborate unit occupied two pseudo-equatorial positions at roughly octahedral iron ion, according to X-ray diffraction data. 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctanes replaced tetrahydrofurane and one of the carbonyl ligands of cyclopentadienyldicarbonyl(tetrahydrofuran)iron (II) tetrafluoroborate to form heteroligand complexes [CpFeL(CO)]+BF4−. The structural studies in the solid phase and in solutions showed that diazadiphosphacyclooctane ligands of all complexes adopted chair-boat conformations so that their nitrogen atoms were in close proximity to the central iron ion. The redox properties of the obtained complexes were performed by the cyclic voltammetry method.

Abstract
Numerous redox transformations that are essential to life are catalyzed by metalloenzymes that feature Earth-abundant metals. In contrast, platinum-group metals have been the cornerstone of many industrial catalytic reactions for decades, providing high activity, thermal stability, and tolerance to chemical poisons. We assert that nature's blueprint provides the fundamental principles for vastly expanding the use of abundant metals in catalysis. We highlight the key physical properties of abundant metals that distinguish them from precious metals, and we look to nature to understand how the inherent attributes of abundant metals can be embraced to produce highly efficient catalysts for reactions crucial to the sustainable production and transformation of fuels and chemicals.

Abstract
Abstract
Nowadays, hydrogen has become not only an extremely important chemical product but also a promising clean energy carrier for replacing fossil fuels. Production of molecular H2 through electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions is crucial for the development of clean-energy technologies. The development of economically viable and efficient H2 production/oxidation catalysts is a key step in the creation of H2-based renewable energy infrastructure. Intrinsic limitations of both natural enzymes and synthetic materials have led researchers to explore enzyme-induced catalysts to realize a high current density at a low overpotential. In recent times, highly active widespread numerous electrocatalysts, both homogeneous or heterogeneous (immobilized on the electrode), such as transition metal complexes, heteroatom- or metal-doped nanocarbons, metal-organic frameworks, and other metal derivatives (calix [4] resorcinols, pectates, etc.), which are, to one extent or another, structural or functional analogs of hydrogenases, have been extensively studied as alternatives for Pt-based catalysts, demonstrating prospects for the development of a “hydrogen economy”. This mini-review generalizes some achievements in the field of development of new electrocatalysts for H2 production/oxidation and their application for fuel cells, mainly focuses on the consideration of the catalytic activity of M[P2N2]2
2+ (M = Ni, Fe) complexes and other nickel structures which have been recently obtained.

Abstract
We discuss the possibility of exploiting local minima of the molecular electrostatic potential for locating protonation sites in molecules in a fully automated manner. We implement and apply this concept to exploring the mechanism of proton reduction catalyzed by a hydrogenase model complex [Orthaber et al., Dalton Trans., 2014, 43, 4537]. A large number of distinct structures arising already in the early stages of the hydrogen evolution mechanism demonstrates the need for reliable, automated algorithms for the thorough analysis of catalytic processes.

Abstract
Efficient heterogeneous catalysis of hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) by platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts in proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells represents a significant challenge toward the development of a sustainable hydrogen economy. Here, we show that graphene acid (GA) can be used as an electrode scaffold for the noncovalent immobilization of a bioinspired nickel bis-diphosphine HOR catalyst. The highly functionalized structure of this material and optimization of the electrode-catalyst assembly sets new benchmark electrocatalytic performances for heterogeneous molecular HOR, with current densities above 30 mA cm-2 at 0.4 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in acidic aqueous conditions and at room temperature. This study also shows the great potential of GA for catalyst loading improvement and porosity management within nanostructured electrodes toward achieving high current densities with a noble-metal free molecular catalyst.

Abstract
Three implicit solvation models, the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (C-PCM), the conductor-like screening model (COSMO), and universal implicit solvent model (SMD), combined with a hybrid two layer QM/QM approach (ONIOM), were utilized to calculate the pKa values, using a direct thermodynamic scheme, of a set of Group 10 transition metal (TM) hydrides in acetonitrile. To obtain the optimal combination of quantum methods for ONIOM calculations with implicit solvation models, the influence of factors, such as the choice of density functional and basis set, the atomic radii used to build a cavity in the solvent, and the size of the model system in an ONIOM scheme, was examined. Additionally, the impact of Grimme's empirical dispersion correction and exact exchange was also investigated. The results were calibrated by experimental data. This investigation provides insight about effective models for the prediction of thermodynamic properties of TM-containing complexes with bulky ligands. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Rational design and synthesis of efficient metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrode modifiers for energy-related electrocatalytic applications are crucial for the development of clean-energy technologies. The present review focuses on recent work on robust earth-abundant heterogeneous catalysts based on pristine MOFs for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and overall water splitting. These catalysts have been extensively studied as alternatives for noble metal-based ones, demonstrating "hydrogen economy" development prospects. In addition, novel strategies to enhance the conductivity, chemical stability and efficiency of MOF-based electrocatalysts are discussed. The best electrocatalysts even surpass the achievements of the platinum group of metals and MOF-derived catalysts in catalytic performance. The electrolytic cells with MOF-modified electrodes demonstrated excellent catalytic activity and can deliver a high current density at a voltage lower than that using the precious metal-based Pt/C cathodes and IrO2 anodes. In this review article, current approaches to design such MOF and MOF-modified electrode materials are summarized and analyzed.

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
Detailed studies on hydrogen evolution by decamethylruthenocene ([Cp*2 RuII ]) highlighted that metallocenes are capable of photoreducing hydrogen without the need for an additional sensitizer. Electrochemical, gas chromatographic, and spectroscopic (UV/Vis, 1 H and 13 C NMR) measurements corroborated by DFT calculations indicated that the production of hydrogen occurs by a two-step process. First, decamethylruthenocene hydride [Cp*2 RuIV (H)]+ is formed in the presence of an organic acid. Subsequently, [Cp*2 RuIV (H)]+ is reversibly reduced in a heterolytic reaction with one-photon excitation leading to a first release of hydrogen. Thereafter, the resultant decamethylruthenocenium ion [Cp*2 RuIII ]+ is further reduced with a second release of hydrogen by deprotonation of a methyl group of [Cp*2 RuIII ]+ . Experimental and computational data show spontaneous conversion of [Cp*2 RuII ] to [Cp*2 RuIV (H)]+ in the presence of protons. Calculations highlight that the first reduction is endergonic (ΔG0 =108 kJ mol-1 ) and needs an input of energy by light for the reaction to occur. The hydricity of the methyl protons of [Cp*2 RuII ] was also considered.

Abstract
Although a great deal of catalytic studies have focused on covalent interactions between substrates and catalyst centers, recognition of the importance of noncovalent and ionic interactions is driving new approaches to catalyst design. Electrostatic interactions with simple cations (those with little covalency, such as alkali metals) play crucial roles in many catalytic processes, but these effects are challenging to study due to their complicated solvation and speciation behaviour. These effects are particularly difficult to study during cation-mediated reactions with weakly-polar or non-polar substrates. Dinitrogen is one of the most nonpolar substrates known to be affected by electrostatic interactions in both heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions but understanding the significance of these effects requires further exploration. To examine these effects systematically, a new multidentate ligand framework bearing pendent crown ethers has been developed and incorporated into a series of Mo(0)-based dinitrogen complexes. Prepared via both reduction and ligand substitution routes, the strength and impact of cation-N2 interactions have been studied experimentally (IR spectroscopy) and computationally. Although the smallest cation (Li+) has the largest impact on the ground-state heterobimetallic activation of N2, solvation interactions are highly competitive and result in low Li+-(N2)Mo binding affinities. Thus, although smaller cations can have the largest electronic impact on substrates, these interactions are also the least persistent.

Abstract
Geometrically flexible 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl units within the secondary coordination sphere enable isolation of high-spin Fe(ii)-dihydrides stabilized by boron-hydride interactions and a rare example of an isolable S = 3/2 reduction product. The borane-capped Fe(ii)-dihydride: (1) rapidly deprotonates E-H (E = N, O, P, S) bonds to afford borane-stabilized Fe adducts and (2) releases H2 upon exposure to π-acids. The Lewis acids provide an avenue for redox-leveling in analogy to the near constant operating potential for N2 reduction in nitrogenase.

Abstract
Counterions can play an active role in chemical reactivity, modulating reaction pathways, energetics and selectivity. We investigated the tautomeric equilibrium resulting from protonation of Fe(PEtNMePEt)(CO)3 (PEtNMePEt = (Et2PCH2)2NMe) at Fe or N. Protonation of Fe(PEtNMePEt)(CO)3 by [(Et2O)2H]+[B(C6F5)4]- occurs at the metal to give the iron hydride [Fe(PEtNMePEt)(CO)3H]+[B(C6F5)4]-. In contrast, treatment with HBF4·OEt2 gives protonation at the iron and at the pendant amine. Both the FeH and NH tautomers were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Addition of excess BF4 - to the equilibrium mixture leads to the NH tautomer being exclusively observed, due to NH···F hydrogen bonding. A quantum chemical analysis of the bonding properties of these systems provided a quantification of hydrogen bonding of the NH to BF4 - and to OTf-. Treatment of Fe(PEtNMePEt)(CO)3 with excess HOTf gives a dicationic complex where both the iron and nitrogen are protonated. Isomerization of the dicationic complex was studied by NOESY NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
A study was carried out to assess the protective effects of exogenously applied nitric oxide (NO) in the form of its donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to strawberry seedlings (Fragaria × ananassa cv. Camarosa) grown under iron deficiency (ID), salinity stress or combination of both. The experimental design contained control, 0.1 mM FeSO4 (ID, Fe deficiency); 50 mM NaCl (S, Salinity) and ID + S. Plants were sprayed with 0.1 mM SNP or 0.1 mM sodium ferrocyanide, an analogue of SNP containing no NO. The deleterious effects of ID + S treatments on plant fresh and dry matters, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence were more striking than those caused by the ID or S treatment alone. Furthermore, combination of salinity and iron stress exacerbated electrolyte leakage (EL) and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in plant leaves compared to those in plants grown with either of the single stresses. NO treatment effectively reduced EL, MDA and H2 O2 in plants grown under stress conditions applied singly or in combination. Salt stress alone and with ID reduced the superoxide dismutase (EC1.15.1.1) and catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activities but increased that of POD (EC 1.17.1.7). Exogenously applied NO led to significant changes in antioxidant enzyme activities in either ID or S than those by ID+S. Overall, exogenously applied NO was more effective in mitigating the stress-induced adverse effects on the strawberry plants exposed to a single stress than those due to the combination of both stresses.

A low-valent dinuclear ruthenium diazadiene complex catalyzes the oxidation of dihydrogen and reversible hydrogenation of quinones. Chem Sci 2019; 10:1117-1125. [PMID: 30774909 PMCID: PMC6346631 DOI: 10.1039/c8sc02864h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2018] [Accepted: 11/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The dinuclear ruthenium complex [Ru2H(μ-H)(Me2dad)(dbcot)2] contains a 1,4-dimethyl-diazabuta-1,3-diene (Me2dad) as a non-innocent bridging ligand between the metal centers to give a [Ru2(Me2dad)] core. In addition, each ruthenium is bound to one dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene (dbcot) ligand. This Ru dimer converts H2 to protons and electrons. It also catalyzes reversibly under mild conditions the selective hydrogenation of vitamins K2 and K3 to their corresponding hydroquinone equivalents without affecting the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds. Mechanistic studies suggest that the [Ru2(Me2dad)] moiety, like hydrogenases, reacts with H2 and releases electrons and protons stepwise.
