Abstract
The energetic demands of modern society for clean energy vectors, such as H2, have caused a surge in research associated with homogeneous and immobilized electrocatalysts that may replace Pt. In particular, clathrochelates have shown excellent electrocatalytic properties for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the actual mechanism for the HER catalyzed by these d-metal complexes remains an open debate, which may be addressed via Operando spectroelectrochemistry. The prediction of electrochemical properties via density functional theory (DFT) needs access to thermodynamic functions, which are only available after Hessian calculations. Unfortunately, there is a notable lack in the current literature regarding the precise evaluation of vibrational spectra of such complexes, given their structural complexity and the associated tangled IR spectra. In this work, we have performed a detailed theoretical and experimental analysis in a family of Co(II) clathrochelates, in order to establish univocally their IR pattern, and also the calculation methodology that is adequate for such predictions. In summary, we have observed the presence of multiple common bands shared by this clathrochelate family, using the B3LYP functional, the LANL2DZ basis, and effective core potentials (ECP) for heavy atoms. The most important issue addressed in this article was therefore related to the detailed assignment of the fingerprint associated with cobalt(II) clathrochelates, which is a challenging endeavor due to the crowded nature of their spectra.

Abstract
Fast crystallization of the monoclathrochelate cobalt(II) intracomplex [Co(Cl2Gm)3(BAd)2] (where Cl2Gm2- is a dichloroglyoxime dianion and BAd is an adamantylboron capping group, 1), initially obtained by the direct template condensation of the corresponding chelating α-dioximate and cross-linking ligand synthons on the Co2+ ion as a matrix, from benzene or dichloromethane afforded its structural triclinic and hexagonal polymorphs. Its prolonged recrystallization from dichloromethane under air atmosphere and sunlight irradiation unexpectedly gave the crystals of the CoIIICoIICoIII-trinuclear dodecachloro-bis-clathrochelate intracomplex [[CoIII(Cl2Gm)3(BAd)]2CoII] (2), the molecule of which consists of two macrobicyclic frameworks with encapsulated low-spin (LS) Co3+ ions, which are cross-linked by a μ3-bridging Co2+ ion as a bifunctional Lewis-acidic center. The most plausible pathway of such a 1 → 2 transformation is based on the photoinitiated radical oxidation of dichloromethane with air oxygen giving the reactive species. Cobalt(II) monoclathrochelate 1 was found to undergo a temperature-induced spin crossover (SCO) both in its solutions and in the solid state. In spite of the conformational rigidity of the corresponding quasiaromatic diboron-capped tris-α-dioximate framework, the main parameters of this SCO transition (i.e., its completeness and gradual character) are strongly affected by the nature of the used solvent (in the case of its solutions) and by the structural polymorphism of its crystals (in the solid state). In the latter case, the LS state (S = 1/2) of this complex is more thermally stable and, therefore, the cobalt(II)-centered 1/2 → 3/2 SCO is more gradual than that in solutions.

Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted much attention within the scientific community because of increasing demands of modern society for clean and renewable energy sources. Molecular complexes of 3d-transition metals, such as cobalt, hold potential to replace platinum for the HER in acidic media. Among these, cage complexes such as tris-glyoximate metal clathrochelates, have demonstrated promising catalytic properties towards the HER. However, it is not clear whether the catalytic activity of this molecule stems from metal-centered activation of H+ , due to a low oxidation state of the metal stabilized by the surrounding organic cage, or if it is the organic cage playing a further cooperative role in bringing protons together. Herein, we report on a density functional theory study of two possible mechanisms for the HER catalyzed by a model Co clathrochelate. To assess the putative ligand involvement in the mechanism, several combinations of single and double protonation sites were investigated. The structural and energetic analysis of relevant intermediates suggests that the electrocatalytic mechanism is not based on the cooperation between the ligand and the metal. Instead, it is mainly due to the activation of H+ by the Co metallocenter. Our calculations further suggest that the last step in the mechanism is a proton coupled electron transfer step.

Abstract
The study tackles one of the challenges in developing platinum-free molecular electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, which is to seek for new possibilities to ensure large turnover numbers by stabilizing electrocatalytic intermediates. These species are often much more reactive than the initial electrocatalysts, and if not properly stabilized by a suitable choice of functionalizing substituents, they have a limited long-time activity. Here, we describe new iron and cobalt(II) cage complexes (clathrochelates) that in contrast to many previously reported complexes of this type do not act as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. We argue that the most probable reason for this behavior is an excessive stabilization of the metal(I) species by perfluoroaryl ribbed groups, resulting in an unprecedented long-term stability of the metal(I) complexes even in acidic solutions.

Abstract
This review classifies and summarizes the past 10-15 years of advancements in the field of metal-involving (i.e., metal-mediated and metal-catalyzed) reactions of oximes. These reactions are diverse in nature and have been employed for syntheses of oxime-based metal complexes and cage-compounds, oxime functionalizations, and the preparation of new classes of organic species, in particular, a wide variety of heterocyclic systems spanning small 3-membered ring systems to macroheterocycles. This consideration gives a general outlook of reaction routes, mechanisms, and driving forces and underlines the potential of metal-involving conversions of oxime species for application in various fields of chemistry and draws attention to the emerging putative targets.
