Abstract
Tetraperoxo metal complexes are a category of dioxygen compounds with novel properties. One of their underconsidered applications is in direct air capture (DAC) reactions, whose study is of great interest in order to slow the effects of climate change. Through computational modeling, the present work considers a family of tetraperoxometalate complexes of the form [M(O2)4]x- that capture atmospheric CO2 to produce [MO(O2)2(CO3)]x- and O2. This reaction was experimentally documented with vanadium and serves as a model for analogous reactions with Group IV (x = 4; M = Ti, Zr, Hf), Group V (x = 3; M = V, Nb, Ta), and Group VI (x = 2; M = Cr, Mo, W) metal centers. Descriptors from density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including optimized structures, partial charges, and frontier orbital interactions, provide rationalization for predicted differences in reactivity. Of the nine complexes studied, [Ti(O2)4]4- and [W(O2)4]2-, respectively, represent the most and least efficient DAC reagents from their differing abilities to stabilize a bidentate peroxycarbonate (κ2-CO42-) intermediate in the proposed reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have unique physicochemical properties that make them advantageous for catalysis, such as low vapor pressure, non-flammability, high thermal and chemical stabilities, and the ability to enhance the activity and stability of (bio)catalysts. ILs can improve the efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability of bio(transformations) by acting as activators of enzymes, selectively dissolving substrates and products, and reducing toxicity. They can also be recycled and reused multiple times without losing their effectiveness. ILs based on imidazolium cation are preferred for structural organization aspects, with a semiorganized layer surrounding the catalyst. ILs act as a container, providing a confined space that allows modulation of electronic and geometric effects, miscibility of reactants and products, and residence time of species. ILs can stabilize ionic and radical species and control the catalytic activity of dynamic processes. Supported IL phase (SILP) derivatives and polymeric ILs (PILs) are good options for molecular engineering of greener catalytic processes. The major factors governing metal, photo-, electro-, and biocatalysts in ILs are discussed in detail based on the vast literature available over the past two and a half decades. Catalytic reactions, ranging from hydrogenation and cross-coupling to oxidations, promoted by homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in both single and multiphase conditions, are extensively reviewed and discussed considering the knowledge accumulated until now.

Abstract
We report the development of a versatile Ru-porphyrin catalyst system which performs the aerobic epoxidation of aromatic and aliphatic (internal) alkenes under mild conditions, with product yields of up to 95% and turnover numbers (TON) up to 300. Water is shown to play a crucial role in the reaction, significantly increasing catalyst efficiency and substrate scope. Detailed mechanistic investigations employing both computational studies and a range of experimental techniques revealed that water activates the RuVI di-oxo complex for alkene epoxidation via hydrogen bonding, stabilises the RuIV mono-oxo intermediate, and is involved in the regeneration of the RuVI di-oxo complex leading to oxygen atom exchange. Distinct kinetics are obtained in the presence of water, and side reactions involved in catalyst deactivation have been identified.

Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) removal of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere is imperative to slow the catastrophic effects of global climate change. Numerous materials are being investigated, including various alkaline inorganic metal oxides that form carbonates via DAC. Here we explore metastable early d0 transition metal peroxide molecules that undergo stabilization via multiple routes, including DAC. Specifically here, we describe via experiment and computation the mechanistic conversion of A3V(O2)4 (tetraperoxovanadate, A = K, Rb, Cs) to first a monocarbonate VO(O2)2(CO3)3-, and ultimately HKCO3 plus KVO4. Single crystal X-ray structures of rubidium and cesium tetraperoxovanadate are reported here for the first time, likely prior-challenged by instability. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), 51V solid state NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), tandem thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (TGA-MS) along with calculations (DFT, density functional theory) all converge on mechanisms of CO2 capture and release that involve the vanadium centre, despite the end product of a 300 days study being bicarbonate and metavanadate. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy along with a wet chemical assay and computational studies evidence the presense of ∼5% adventitous superoxide, likely formed by peroxide reduction of vanadium, which also stabilizes via the reaction with CO2. The alkalis have a profound effect on the stability of the peroxovanadate compounds, stability trending K > Rb > Cs. While this translates to more rapid CO2 capture with heavier alkalis, it does not necessarily lead to capture of more CO2. All compounds capture approximately two equivalents CO2 per vanadium centre. We cannot yet explain the reactivity trend of the alkali peroxovanadates, because any change in speciation of the alkalis from reactions to product is not quantifiable. This study sets the stage for understanding and implementing transition metal peroxide species, including peroxide-functionalized metal oxides, for DAC.

Abstract
Sustainable chemistry research prioritizes reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and one logical solution is to develop adsorbents suitable for carbon capture and utilization. In this work, a new family of three-dimensional (3D) flower-like Mn-promoted MgO was synthesized by the coprecipitation method and used as an adsorbent for CO2 capture and a catalyst for CO2 utilization. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the samples shows a 3D architecture composed of thin nanosheets. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the presence of the MgO with a cubic structure, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals the existence of Mn particles as a combination of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions on MgO. N2 adsorption-desorption experiments highlight the beneficial contribution of Mn particles to surface area enhancement and reveal the existence of mesopores. Furthermore, the designed 3D Mn-doped MgO as an adsorbent demonstrates its capability to improve the ability of MgO to adsorb CO2 (from 0.28 mmol/g for pure MgO to 0.74 mmol/g) in ambient conditions and it is regenerable up to 9 cycles with a slight variation after the third cycle. Moreover, Mn-doped MgO shows good catalyst activity for the oxidation of ethylbenzene derivatives to carbonyl compounds in the presence of CO2 and O2. Mn-15/MgO shows excellent catalytic behavior with a conversion of 97.4 and 100% selectivity. Also, it is regenerable with an insignificant decrease in conversion (∼11.63%) after seven cycles, while the selectivity of acetophenone remains stable. The analyses of the recycled sample suggest that the chemical compositions of Mn and Mg influence the catalytic activity of those Mn-promoted MgO materials. The role of CO2 gas in the aerobic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone has also been proved. Finally, the control experiments and EPR studies reveal that the reaction takes place through the formation of radicals.
