Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has evolved as a new therapeutic modality for cancer treatment with fewer side effects and drug resistance. Curcumin exhibits PDT activity, but its low bioavailability restricts its clinical application. Here, the bioavailability of curcumin was increased by its complex formation with the Zn(II) center. For a structure-activity relationship study, Zn(II)-based complexes (1-3) comprising N^N-based ligands (2,2'-bipyridine in 1 and 2 or 1,10-phenanthroline in 3) and O^O-based ligands (acetylacetone in 1, monoanionic curcumin in 2 and 3) were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The X-ray structure of the control complex, 1, indicated a square pyramidal shape of the molecules. Photophysical and TD-DFT studies indicated the potential of 2 and 3 as good visible light type-II photosensitizers for PDT. Guided by the TD-DFT studies, the low-energy visible light-triggered singlet oxygen (1O2) generation efficacy of 2 and 3 was explored in solution and in cancer cells. As predicted by the TD-DFT calculations, these complexes produced 1O2 efficiently in the cytosol of MCF-7 cancer cells and ultimately displayed excellent apoptotic anticancer activity in the presence of light. Moreover, the molecular docking investigation showed that complexes 2 and 3 have very good binding affinities with caspase-9 and p-53 proteins and could activate them for cellular apoptosis. Further molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of 3 in the caspase-9 protein binding site.

Abstract
The O2/H2O redox couple is vital in various renewable energy conversion strategies. This work delves into the Co(L-histidine)2 complex, a functional mimic of oxygen-carrying metalloproteins, and its electrochemical behavior driving the bidirectional oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution (OER) activity in neutral water. This complex electrocatalyzes O2 via two distinct pathways: a two-electron O2/H2O2 reduction (catalytic rate = 250 s-1) and a four-electron O2 to H2O production (catalytic rate = 66 s-1). The formation of the key trans-μ-1,2-Co(III)-peroxo intermediate expedites this process. Additionally, this complex effectively oxidizes water to O2 (catalytic rate = 15606 s-1) at anodic potentials via a Co(IV)-oxo species. Additionally, this complex executes the ORR and OER under photocatalytic conditions in neutral water in the presence of appropriate photosensitizer (Eosin-Y) and redox mediators (triethanolamine/ORR and Na2S2O8/OER) at an appreciable rate. These results highlight one of the early examples of both electro- and photoactive bidirectional ORR/OER catalysts operational in neutral water.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the construction of a 1D/2D heterostructure of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc)-carbon nitride (C3N4) for electrochemical N2 reduction to NH3. Improved performance originates from the higher exposure of active surface sites. The electrochemical NRR performance showed an NH3 formation rate of 423.8 μg h-1 mgcat-1, a high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 33%, and stability for 20 h. This study provides a new strategy for designing a highly efficient 1D/2D electrocatalytic system for ammonia synthesis.

Abstract
Facile conversion of CO2 to commercially viable carbon feedstocks offer a unique way to adopt a net-zero carbon scenario. Synthetic CO2-reducing catalysts have rarely exhibited energy-efficient and selective CO2 conversion. Here, the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) enzyme blueprint is imitated by a molecular copper complex coordinated by redox-active ligands. This strategy has unveiled one of the rarest examples of synthetic molecular complex-driven reversible CO2 reduction/CO oxidation catalysis under regulated conditions, a hallmark of natural enzymes. The inclusion of a proton-exchanging amine groups in the periphery of the copper complex provides the leeway to modulate the biases of catalysts toward CO2 reduction and CO oxidation in organic and aqueous media. The detailed spectroelectrochemical analysis confirms the synchronous participation of copper and redox-active ligands along with the peripheral amines during this energy-efficient CO2 reduction/CO oxidation. This finding can be vital in abating the carbon footprint-free in multiple industrial processes.

Abstract
The accurate analysis of continuous-wave electron spin resonance (cw ESR) spectra of biological or organic free-radicals and paramagnetic metal complexes is key to understanding their structure-function relationships and electrochemical properties. The current methods of analysis based on simulations often fail to extract the spectral information accurately. In addition, such analyses are highly sensitive to spectral resolution and artifacts, users' defined input parameters and spectral complexity. We introduce a simulation-independent spectral analysis approach that enables broader application of ESR. We use a wavelet packet transform-based method for extracting g values and hyperfine (A) constants directly from cw ESR spectra. We show that our method overcomes the challenges associated with simulation-based methods for analyzing poorly/partially resolved and unresolved spectra, which is common in most cases. The accuracy and consistency of the method are demonstrated on a series of experimental spectra of organic radicals and copper-nitrogen complexes. We showed that for a two-component system, the method identifies their individual spectral features even at a relative concentration of 5% for the minor component.

Abstract
Four new Co(II) complexes viz., [Co(bpy)2(acac)]Cl (1), [Co(phen)2(acac)]Cl (2), [Co(bpy)2(cur)]Cl (3), [Co(phen)2(cur)]Cl (4), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine (1 and 3), phen = 1,10-phenanthroline (2 and 4), acac = acetylacetonate (1 and 2), cur = curcumin monoanion (3 and 4) were designed, synthesized and fully characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 2 indicated that CoN4O2 core has a distorted octahedral geometry. The photoactivity of these complexes was tuned by varying the π conjugation in the ligands. 3 and 4 depicted an intense absorption band near 435 nm, which made them useful as visible-light PDT agents. Curcumin complexes 3 and 4 showed fluorescence with λemi = ca. 565 nm. This fluorescence was useful to study their intracellular uptake and localization in MCF-7 cancer cells. The acetylacetonate complexes (1 and 2) are used as control complexes to understand the role of curcumin. The white light-triggered anticancer profiles of the cytosol targeting complexes 3 and 4 were investigated in detail. These non-dark toxic complexes displayed significant apoptotic photo-cytotoxicity (under visible light) against MCF-7 cells via ROS generation. The control complexes 1 and 2 did not induce significant cell death in light and dark. Interestingly, 1-4 produced a remarkable antibacterial response on light exposure. Overall, the reported results here can increase the boundary of the Co(II)-based anticancer and antibacterial drug development.

Abstract
Cobaloxime complexes gained attention for their intrinsic ability of catalytic H2 production despite their initial emergence as a vitamin B12 model. The simple, robust, and synthetically manoeuvrable cobaloxime core represents a model catalyst molecule for the investigation of optimal conditions for both photo- and electrocatalytic H2 production catalytic assemblies. Cobaloxime is one of the rare catalysts that finds equal applications in the analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic conditions. However, the poor aqueous solubility and long-term instability of cobaloximes have severely impeded their growth. Lately, interest in the cobaloxime-based catalysts has been resuscitated with the rational use of extended enzymatic features. This unique enzyme-inspired catalyst design strategy has instigated the formation of a new genre of cobaloxime molecules that exhibit enhanced photo- and electrocatalytic H2 evolution with improved aqueous and air stability.

Abstract
Developing photocatalytic H2 production devices is the one of the key steps for constructing a global H2-based renewable energy infrastructure. A number of photoactive assemblies have emerged where a photosensitizer and cobaloxime-based H2 production catalysts work in tandem to convert light energy into the H-H chemical bonds. However, the long-term instability of these assemblies and the need for hazardous proton sources have limited their usage. Here, in this work, we have integrated a stilbene-based organic dye into the periphery of a cobaloxime core via a distinct axial pyridine linkage. This strategy allowed us to develop a photosensitizer-catalyst hybrid structure with the same molecular framework. In this article, we have explained the detailed procedure of the synthesis of this hybrid molecule in addition to its comprehensive chemical characterization. The structural and optical studies have exhibited an intense electronic interaction between the cobaloxime core and the organic photosensitizer. The cobaloxime was active for H2 production even in the presence of water as the proton source. Here, we have developed a simple airtight system connected with an online H2 detector for the investigation of the photocatalytic activity by this hybrid complex. This photosensitizer-catalyst dyad present in the experimental setup continuously produced H2 once it was exposed in the natural sunlight. This photocatalytic H2 production by the hybrid complex was observed in aqueous/organic mixture media in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor under complete aerobic conditions. Thus, this photocatalysis measurement system along with the photosensitizer-catalyst dyad provide valuable insight for the development of next generation photocatalytic H2 production devices.
