Abstract
A better understanding of the aggregation states of adhesive molecules in the interfacial region with an adherend is crucial for controlling the adhesion strength and is of great inherent academic interest. The adhesion mechanism has been described through four theories: adsorption, mechanical, diffusion, and electronic. While interfacial characterization techniques have been developed to validate the aforementioned theories, that related to the electronic theory has not yet been thoroughly studied. We here directly detected the electronic interaction between a commonly used thermosetting adhesive, cured epoxy of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM), and copper (Cu). This study used a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic (TAS) measurements as this epoxy adhesive-Cu pairing is extensively used in electronic device packaging. The DFT calculations predicted that π electrons in a DDM molecule adsorbed onto the Cu surface flowed out onto the Cu surface, resulting in a positive charge on the DDM. TAS measurements for the Cu/epoxy multilayer film, a model sample containing many metal/adhesive interfaces, revealed that the electronic states of excited DDM moieties at the Cu interface were different from those in the bulk region. These results were in good accordance with the prediction by DFT calculations. Thus, it can be concluded that TAS is applicable to characterize the electronic interaction of adhesives with metal adherends in a nondestructive manner.

Abstract
4,4'-Biazulene is a potentially attractive key component of an axially chiral biaryl compound, however, its structure and properties have not been clarified owing to the lack of its efficient synthesis. We report a breakthrough in the reliable synthesis of 4,4'-biazulene, which is achieved by the access to azulen-4-ylboronic acid pinacol ester and 4-iodoazulene as novel key synthetic intermediates for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of 4,4'-biazulene confirmed its axial chirality. The enantiomers of 4,4'-biazulene were successfully resolved by HPLC on the chiral stationary phase column. The kinetic experiments and DFT calculations indicate that the racemization energy barrier of 4,4'-biazulene is comparable to that of 1,1'-binaphthyl.

Abstract
Polar compounds with switchable polarization properties are applicable in various devices such as ferroelectric memory and pyroelectric sensors. However, a strategy to prepare polar compounds has not been established. We report a rational synthesis of a polar CoGa crystal using chiral cth ligands (SS-cth and RR-cth, cth = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). Both the original homo metal Co crystal and Ga crystal exhibit a centrosymmetric isostructure, where the dipole moment of metal complexes with the SS-cth ligand and those with the RR-cth ligand are canceled out. To obtain a polar compound, the Co valence tautomeric complex with SS-cth in the homo metal Co crystal is replaced with the Ga complex with SS-cth by mixing Co valence tautomeric complexes with RR-cth and Ga complexes with SS-cth. The CoGa crystal exhibits polarization switching between the pseudononpolar state at a low temperature and the polar state at a high temperature because only Co complexes exhibit changes in electric dipole moment due to metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Following the same strategy, the polarization-switchable CoZn complex was synthesized. The CoZn crystal exhibits polarization switching between the polar state at a low temperature and the pseudononpolar state at a high temperature, which is the opposite temperature dependence to that of the CoGa crystal. These results revealed that the polar crystal can be synthesized by design, using a chiral ligand. Moreover, our method allows for the control of temperature-dependent polarization changes, which contrasts with typical ferroelectric compounds, in which the polar ferroelectric phase typically occurs at low temperatures.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of a rhodium(II) dimer complex, [RhII(TMAA)]2 (TMAA = tetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene), in C-H amination reactions with organic azides is explored. Organic azides (N3-R) with an electron-withdrawing group such as a sulfonyl group (trisylazide; R = S(O)2iPr3C6H2 (Trs)) and a simple alkyl group (R = (CH2)4Ph, (CH2)2OCH2Ph, CH2Ph, or C6H4NO2) are employed in intra- and intermolecular C-H bond amination reactions. The spectroscopic analysis using ESI-mass and EPR spectroscopy techniques on the reaction intermediate generated from [RhII(TMAA)]2 and N3-R reveals that a rhodium(III)-nitrenoid species is an active oxidant in the C-H bond amination reaction. DFT calculations suggest that the species can feature a radical localised nitrogen atom. The DFT calculation studies also indicate that the amination reaction involves hydrogen atom abstraction from the organic substrate R'-H by the NR moiety of 2N˙R and successive rebound of the generated organic radical intermediate R'˙ to [RhIII(NH-R)(TMAA)], giving [RhII(TMAA)] and R'-NH-R (amination product).

Abstract
The adhesion mechanism of epoxy resin to the γ-alumina (110) surface was investigated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT). Aluminum materials are lightweight and are used in a wide range of industrial fields. Its surface is oxidized to alumina, and the stable surface is known as the γ-alumina (110) surface. The coverage of hydroxy groups by chemisorbed water molecules on this surface varied depending on the pretreatment temperature. In this study, we investigated the adhesive interactions of epoxy resin on four alumina surfaces with different densities of surface hydroxy groups (0, 3, 6, and 9 OH/nm2) and have discussed their effects. At each interface, the energy curves of the vertically displaced epoxy resin were calculated and the adhesive forces were estimated by differentiating these curves. As the coverage of the surface hydroxy groups increased from 0 to 6 OH/nm2, the adhesive strength gradually decreased. However, the adhesive strength at 9 OH/nm2 was relatively large and almost equal to that at 3 OH/nm2. This inverse volcano-type behavior was analyzed via the decomposition of adhesive forces and the crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP). The decomposition of adhesive forces into DFT and dispersion components revealed that the inverse volcano-type behavior is derived from the DFT component, and the interfacial interactions owing to the DFT component are accompanied by charge transfer. These were investigated using a COHP analysis, which revealed that this behavior was caused by changes in the activity of the aluminum atoms on the surface and surface reconstruction by chemisorbed water molecules. It is noteworthy that the adhesive strength for 9 OH/nm2 was only 6.9% lower than that for 0 OH/nm2 wherein the chemisorbed water molecules were completely removed from the surface. These results are expected to provide a guideline for the adhesion of epoxy resin to aluminum materials.

Abstract
Face-to-face stacking of aromatic compounds leads to stacked antiaromaticity, while that of antiaromatic compounds leads to stacked aromaticity. This is a prediction with a long history; in the late 2000s, the prediction was confirmed by high-precision quantum chemical calculations, and finally, in 2016, a π-conjugated system with stacked aromaticity was synthesized. Several variations have since been reported, but essentially, they are all the same molecule. To realize stacked aromaticity in a completely new and different molecular system and to trigger an extension of the concept of stacked aromaticity, it is important to understand the origin of stacked aromaticity. The Hückel method, which has been successful in giving qualitatively correct results for π-conjugated systems despite its bold assumptions, is well suited for the analysis of stacked aromaticity. We use this method to model the face-to-face stacking systems of benzene and cyclobutadiene molecules and discuss their stacked antiaromaticity and stacked aromaticity on the basis of their π-electron energies. By further developing the discussion, we search for clues to realize stacked aromaticity in synthesizable molecular systems.

Abstract
We newly designed and prepared a novel molybdenum complex bearing a 4-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligand, based on the bond dissociation free energies (BDFEs) of the N-H bonds in molybdenum-imide complexes bearing various substituted pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligands. The complex worked as an excellent catalyst toward ammonia formation from the reaction of an atmospheric pressure of dinitrogen with samarium diiodide as a reductant and water as a proton source under ambient reaction conditions, where up to 3580 equivalents of ammonia were formed based on the molybdenum atom of the catalyst. The catalytic activity was significantly improved by one order of magnitude larger than that observed when using the complex before modification.

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
Sulfite reduction by dissimilatory sulfite reductases is a key process in the global sulfur cycle. Sulfite reductases catalyze the 6e- reduction of SO32- to H2S using eight protons (SO32- + 8H+ + 6e- → H2S + 3H2O). However, detailed research into the reductive conversion of sulfite on transition-metal-based complexes remains unexplored. As part of our ongoing research into reproducing the function of reductases using dinuclear ruthenium complex {(TpRu)2(μ-Cl)(μ-pz)} (Tp = HB(pyrazolyl)3), we have targeted the function of sulfite reductase. The isolation of a key SO-bridged complex, followed by a sulfite-bridged complex, eventually resulted in a stepwise sulfite reduction. The reduction of a sulfite to a sulfur monoxide using 4H+ and 4e-, which was followed by conversion of the sulfur monoxide to a disulfide with concomitant consumption of 2H+ and 2e-, proceeded on the same platform. Finally, the production of H2S from the disulfide-bridged complex was achieved.

Dimolybdenum complexes bearing 3,3'''-(1,1':3',1'':3'',1'''-quaterphenylene)-bridged pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligand are designed and prepared according to DFT calculations on the cleavage step of dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum complexes bearing polyphenylene-bridged pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligands. The dimolybdenum complexes are found to work as effective catalysts toward ammonia formation from dinitrogen with samarium diiodide as a reductant and water as a proton source under ambient reaction conditions.

Abstract
The formation of Lewis pairs is an important chemical concept. Recently, the complexation of Lewis acidic tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane with Lewis basic moieties and subsequent reduction has emerged as a fascinating strategy for designing novel reactions and structures. The impact of the complexation and subsequent reduction of antiaromatic systems bearing Lewis base moieties has been investigated. We found how Lewis adduct formation stabilizes an antiaromatic system consisting of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane by using synthesis, X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic analysis, and quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
The literature contains numerous reports of copper complexes for nitrite (NO2-) reduction. However, details of how protons and electrons arrive and how nitric oxide (NO) is released remain unknown. The influence of the coordination mode of nitrite on reactivity is also under debate. Kundu and co-workers have reported nitrite reduction by a copper(II) complex [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 1726-1730]. In their report, the copper(II) complex reduced nitrite using a phenol derivative as a reductant, resulting in NO, a hydroxyl copper(II) complex, and the corresponding biphenol. Also, the involvement of proton-coupled electron transfer was proposed by mechanistic studies. Herein, density functional theory calculations were performed to determine a mechanism for reduction of nitrite by a copper(II) complex. As a result of geometry optimization of an initial complex, two possible structures were obtained: Cu-ONO and Cu-NO2. Two possible reaction pathways initiated from Cu-ONO or Cu-NO2 were then considered. The calculation results indicated that the Cu-ONO pathway is energetically favorable. When changes in the electronic structure were considered, both pathways were found to involve concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET). In addition, an intrinsic reaction coordinate analysis revealed that the two pathways were achieved by different types of CPET. Furthermore, an intrinsic bond orbital analysis clearly indicated that, in the Cu-ONO pathway, the chemical events involved proceeded concertedly yet asynchronously.

Abstract
This paper details the use of computational and informatics methods to design metal nanocluster catalysts for efficient ammonia synthesis. Three main problems are tackled: defining a measure of catalytic activity, choosing the best candidate from a large number of possibilities, and identifying the thermodynamically stable cluster catalyst structure. First-principles calculations, Bayesian optimization, and particle swarm optimization are used to obtain a Ti8 nanocluster as a catalyst candidate. The N2 adsorption structure on Ti8 indicates substantial activation of the N2 molecule, while the NH3 adsorption structure suggests that NH3 is likely to undergo easy desorption. The study also reveals several cluster catalyst candidates that break the general trade-off that surfaces that strongly adsorb reactants also strongly adsorb products.

Abstract
Co(II)-pyrocobester (P-Co(II)), a dehydrocorrin complex, was semisynthesized from vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), and its photochemical and electrochemical properties were investigated and compared to those of the cobester (C-Co(II)), the cobalt-corrin complex. The UV-vis absorptions of P-Co(II) in CH2Cl2, ascribed to the π-π* transition, were red-shifted compared to those of C-Co(II) due to the π-expansion of the macrocycle in the pyrocobester. The reversible redox couple of P-Co(II) was observed at E1/2 = -0.30 V vs Ag/AgCl in CH3CN, which was assigned to the Co(II)/Co(I) redox couple by UV-vis, ESR, and molecular orbital analysis. This redox couple was positively shifted by 0.28 V compared to that of C-Co(II). This is caused by the high electronegativity of the dehydrocorrin macrocycle, which was estimated by DFT calculations for the free-base ligands. The reactivity of the Co(I)-pyrocobester (P-Co(I)) was evaluated by the reaction with methyl iodide in CV and UV-vis to form a photosensitive Co(III)-CH3 complex (P-Co(III)-CH3). The properties of the excited state of P-Co(I), *Co(I), were also investigated by femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The lifetime of *Co(I) was estimated to be 29 ps from the kinetic trace at 587 nm. The lifetime of *Co(I) became shorter in the presence of Ar-X, such as iodobenzonitrile (1a), bromobenzonitrile (1b), and chlorobenzonitrile (1c), and the rate constants of electron transfer (ET) between the *Co(I) and Ar-X were determined to be 2.9 × 1011 M-1 s-1, 4.9 × 1010 M-1 s-1, and 1.0 × 1010 M-1 s-1 for 1a, 1b, and 1c, respectively.

Abstract
We have demonstrated site-selective radical reactions of the kinetically stable open-shell singlet diradicaloids difluoreno[3,4-b:4',3'-d]thiophene (DFTh) and difluoreno[3,4-b:4',3'-d]furan (DFFu) with tributyltin hydride (HSn(n-Bu)3) and azo-based radical initiators. Treatment of these diradicaloids with HSn(n-Bu)3 induces hydrogenation at the ipso-carbon in the five-membered rings, while treatment with 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) induces substitution at the carbon atoms in the peripheral six-membered rings. We have also developed one-pot substitution/hydrogenation reactions of DFTh/DFFu with various azo-based radical initiators and HSn(n-Bu)3. The resulting products can be converted into substituted DFTh/DFFu derivatives via dehydrogenation. Theoretical calculations unveiled a detailed mechanism of the radical reactions of DFTh/DFFu with HSn(n-Bu)3 and with AIBN, and that the site-selectivity of these radical reactions is controlled by the balance of the spin density and the steric hindrance in DFTh/DFFu.

Abstract
Recent studies have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that antiaromatic molecules with 4n π electrons exhibit stacked aromaticity according to π-π stacking when arranged in a face-to-face manner. However, the mechanism of its occurrence has not been clearly studied. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of stacked aromaticity using cyclobutadiene. When the antiaromatic molecules are stacked in a face-to-face manner, the orbital interactions between the degenerate singly occupied molecular orbitals (SOMOs) of the monomer unit cause a larger energy gap between the degenerate highest-occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) of the dimer. However, the antiaromatic molecules are more stable in less symmetric conformations, mainly because of pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortions. In the case of cyclobutadiene, the two SOMOs of the monomer unit split into HOMO and LUMO because of the bond alternation. When the molecules are stacked in a face-to-face manner, the HOMO-LUMO gap of the dimer is smaller than that of the monomer due to the interactions between the HOMOs and LUMOs of the two monomer units. When the monomer units are within a specific distance of each other, the HOMO and LUMO of the dimer, which correspond to antibonding and bonding between the units, respectively, are interchanged. This alternation of molecular orbitals may result in an increase in the bond strength between the monomer units, exhibiting stacked aromaticity. We demonstrated that it is possible to control the distance exhibited by stacked aromaticity by engineering the HOMO-LUMO gap of the monomer units.

Abstract
Herein, we describe Hiyama coupling via intramolecular substituent transfer from silicon on one blade of triptycenes to another to yield 1,8,13-trisubstituted chiral triptycenes. This reaction is attributed to the proximity effect of substituents on triptycene, which plays an important role in not only the formation of the oxy-palladacycle but also the activation of the silyl group to facilitate σ-bond metathesis. After bromination and nucleophilic ring opening, the second intramolecular Hiyama coupling provided various 1,8,13-trisubstituted chiral triptycenes. The optical resolution of 1,8,13-triptycene afforded an optically active form for the first time.

Abstract
The adhesion mechanism of epoxy resin (ER) cured material consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) to pristine graphene and graphene oxide (GO) surfaces is investigated on the basis of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) with dispersion correction. Graphene is often used as a reinforcing filler incorporated into ER polymer matrices. The adhesion strength is significantly improved by using GO obtained by the oxidation of graphene. The interfacial interactions at the ER/graphene and ER/GO interfaces were analyzed to clarify the origin of this adhesion. The contribution of dispersion interaction to the adhesive stress at the two interfaces is almost identical. In contrast, the DFT energy contribution is found to be more significant at the ER/GO interface. Crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (COHP) analysis suggests the existence of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) between the hydroxyl, epoxide, amine, and sulfonyl groups of the ER cured with DDS and the hydroxyl groups of the GO surface, in addition to the OH-π interaction between the benzene rings of ER and the hydroxyl groups of the GO surface. The H-bond has a large orbital interaction energy, which is found to contribute significantly to the adhesive strength at the ER/GO interface. The overall interaction at the ER/graphene is much weaker due to antibonding type interactions just below the Fermi level. This finding indicates that only dispersion interaction is significant when ER is adsorbed on the graphene surface.

Abstract
Using natural gas as chemical feedstock requires efficient oxidation of the constituent alkanes-and primarily methane1,2. The current industrial process uses steam reforming at high temperatures and pressures3,4 to generate a gas mixture that is then further converted into products such as methanol. Molecular Pt catalysts5-7 have also been used to convert methane to methanol8, but their selectivity is generally low owing to overoxidation-the initial oxidation products tend to be easier to oxidize than methane itself. Here we show that N-heterocyclic carbene-ligated FeII complexes with a hydrophobic cavity capture hydrophobic methane substrate from an aqueous solution and, after oxidation by the Fe centre, release a hydrophilic methanol product back into the solution. We find that increasing the size of the hydrophobic cavities enhances this effect, giving a turnover number of 5.0 × 102 and a methanol selectivity of 83% during a 3-h methane oxidation reaction. If the transport limitations arising from the processing of methane in an aqueous medium can be overcome, this catch-and-release strategy provides an efficient and selective approach to using naturally abundant alkane resources.

Abstract
Numerous biomimetic molecular catalysts inspired by methane monooxygenases (MMOs) that utilize iron or copper-oxo species as key intermediates have been developed. However, the catalytic methane oxidation activities of biomimetic molecule-based catalysts are still much lower than those of MMOs. Herein, we report that the close stacking of a μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer onto a graphite surface is effective in achieving high catalytic methane oxidation activity. The activity is almost 50 times higher than that of other potent molecule-based methane oxidation catalysts and comparable to those of certain MMOs, in an aqueous solution containing H2O2. It was demonstrated that the graphite-supported μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer oxidized methane, even at room temperature. Electrochemical investigation and density functional theory calculations suggested that the stacking of the catalyst onto graphite induced partial charge transfer from the reactive oxo species of the μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer and significantly lowered the singly occupied molecular orbital level, thereby facilitating electron transfer from methane to the catalyst in the proton-coupled electron-transfer process. The cofacially stacked structure is advantageous for stable adhesion of the catalyst molecule on the graphite surface in the oxidative reaction condition and for preventing decreases in the oxo-basicity and generation rate of the terminal iron-oxo species. We also demonstrated that the graphite-supported catalyst exhibited appreciably enhanced activity under photoirradiation owing to the photothermal effect.

Abstract
To increase chemical reaction rates, general solutions include increasing the concentration/temperature and introducing catalysts. In this study, the rate constant of an electrophilic metal coordination reaction is accelerated 23-fold on the surface of layered aluminosilicate (LAS), where the reaction substrate (ligand molecule) induces dielectric polarization owing to the polar and anionic surface. According to the Arrhenius plot, the frequency factor (A) is increased by almost three orders of magnitude on the surface. This leads to the conclusion that the collision efficiency between the ligands and metal ions is enhanced on the surface due to the dielectric polarization. This is surprising because one side of the ligand is obscured by the surface, so the collision efficiency is expected to be decreased. This unique method to accelerate the chemical reaction is expected to expand the range of utilization of LASs, which are chemically inert, abundant, and environmentally friendly. The concept is also applicable to other metal oxides which have polar surfaces, which will be useful for various chemical reactions in the future.

Abstract
Chemoselective reductive conversion of organic and inorganic compounds has been developed by the combination of samarium(II) diiodide (SmI2) and water. Despite the extensive previous studies to elucidate the role of water in the reactivity of SmI2, the direct structural data of the reactive Sm2+-water complexes, SmI2(H2O)n, in an organic solvent-water mixture have not been reported experimentally so far. Herein, we performed the structure analysis of the Sm2+-water complex in tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the presence of water by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy using high-energy X-rays (Sm K-edge, 46.8 keV). The analysis revealed the dissociation of the Sm2+-I bonds in the presence of ≥ eight equivalents of water in the THF-water mixture. The origin of the peak shift in the UV/visible absorption spectra after the addition of water into SmI2/THF solution was proposed based on electron transitions simulated with time-dependent density-functional-theory calculations using optimized structures in THF or water. The obtained structural information provides the fundamental insights for elucidating the reactivity and chemoselectivity in the Sm2+-water complex system.

Abstract
A coordination-induced trigger for catalytic activity is proposed on an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-decorated ceria catalyst incorporating Cr and Rh (ICy-r-Cr0.19Rh0.06CeOz). ICy-r-Cr0.19Rh0.06CeOz was prepared by grafting 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene (ICy) onto H2-reduced Cr0.19Rh0.06CeOz (r-Cr0.19Rh0.06CeOz) surfaces, which went on to exhibit substantial catalytic activity for the 1,4-arylation of cyclohexenone with phenylboronic acid, whereas r-Cr0.19Rh0.06CeOz without ICy was inactive. FT-IR, Rh K-edge XAFS, XPS, and photoluminescence spectroscopy showed that the ICy carbene-coordinated Rh nanoclusters were the key active species. The coordination-induced trigger for catalytic activity on the ICy-bearing Rh nanoclusters could not be attributed to electronic donation from ICy to the Rh nanoclusters. DFT calculations suggested that ICy controlled the adsorption sites of the phenyl group on the Rh nanocluster to promote the C-C bond formation of the phenyl group and cyclohexenone.

Abstract
Binary alloy catalysts have the potential to exhibit higher activity than monometallic catalysts in nitrogen activation reactions. However, owing to the multiple possible combinations of metal elements constituting binary alloys, an exhaustive search for the optimal combination is difficult. In this study, we searched for the optimal binary alloy catalyst for nitrogen activation reactions using a combination of Bayesian optimization and density functional theory calculations. The optimal alloy catalyst proposed by Bayesian optimization had a surface energy of ∼0.2 eV/Å2 and resulted in a low reaction heat for the dissociation of the N≡N bond. We demonstrated that the search for such binary alloy catalysts using Bayesian optimization is more efficient than random search.

Abstract
Dinitrogen is an abundant and promising material for valuable organonitrogen compounds containing carbon-nitrogen bonds. Direct synthetic methods for preparing organonitrogen compounds from dinitrogen as a starting reagent under mild reaction conditions give insight into the sustainable production of valuable organonitrogen compounds with reduced fossil fuel consumption. Here we report the catalytic reaction for the formation of cyanate anion (NCO-) from dinitrogen under ambient reaction conditions. A molybdenum-carbamate complex bearing a pyridine-based 2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine (PNP)-pincer ligand is synthesized from the reaction of a molybdenum-nitride complex with phenyl chloroformate. The conversion between the molybdenum-carbamate complex and the molybdenum-nitride complex under ambient reaction conditions is achieved. The use of samarium diiodide (SmI2) as a reductant promotes the formation of NCO- from the molybdenum-carbamate complex as a key step. As a result, we demonstrate a synthetic cycle for NCO- from dinitrogen mediated by the molybdenum-PNP complexes in two steps. Based on this synthetic cycle, we achieve the catalytic synthesis of NCO- from dinitrogen under ambient reaction conditions.

Abstract
Oxidative addition of CH4 to the catalyst surface produces CH3 and H. If the CH3 species generated on the surface couple with each other, reductive elimination of C2H6 may be achieved. Similarly, H's could couple to form H2. This is the outline of nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM). It is difficult to achieve this reaction on a typical Pt catalyst surface. This is because methane is overoxidized and coking occurs. In this study, the authors approach this problem from a molecular aspect, relying on organometallic or complex chemistry concepts. Diagrams obtained by extending the concepts of the Walsh diagram to surface reactions are used extensively. C-H bond activation, i.e., oxidative addition, and C-C and H-H bond formation, i.e., reductive elimination, on metal catalyst surfaces are thoroughly discussed from the point of view of orbital theory. The density functional theory method for structural optimization and accurate energy calculations and the extended Hückel method for detailed analysis of crystal orbital changes and interactions play complementary roles. Limitations of monometallic catalysts are noted. Therefore, a rational design of single atom alloy (SAA) catalysts is attempted. As a result, the effectiveness of the Pt1/Au(111) SAA catalyst for NOCM is theoretically proposed. On such an SAA surface, one would expect to find a single Pt monatomic site in a sea of inert Au atoms. This is desirable for both inhibiting overoxidation and promoting reductive elimination.

Abstract
The oxidation of alkanes with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) catalyzed by the B12 derivative, heptamethyl cobyrinate, was investigated under several conditions. During the oxidation of cyclohexane, heptamethyl cobyrinate works as a catalyst to form cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone at a 0.67 alcohol to ketone ratio under aerobic conditions in 1 h. The reaction rate shows a first-order dependence on the [catalyst] and [mCPBA] while being independent of [cyclohexane]; Vobs = k2[catalyst][mCPBA]. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect was determined to be 1.86, suggesting that substrate hydrogen atom abstraction is not dominantly involved in the rate-determining step. By the reaction of mCPBA and heptamethyl cobyrinate at low temperature, the corresponding cobalt(III)acylperoxido complex was formed which was identified by UV-vis, IR, ESR, and ESI-MS studies. A theoretical study suggested the homolysis of the O-O bond in the acylperoxido complex to form Co(III)-oxyl (Co-O•) and the m-chlorobenzoyloxyl radical. Radical trapping experiments using N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone and CCl3Br, product analysis of various alkane oxidations, and computer analysis of the free energy for radical abstraction from cyclohexane by Co(III)-oxyl suggested that both Co(III)-oxyl and the m-chlorobenzoyloxyl radical could act as hydrogen-atom transfer reactants for the cyclohexane oxidation.

Abstract
To ensure the quality and reliability of products bonded by epoxy resin adhesives, elucidation of the microscopic adhesion mechanism is essential. The adhesive interaction and bonding strength between epoxy resins and hydroxylated γ-alumina (001) surfaces were investigated by using a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) study. The curing reaction of an epoxy resin consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) was simulated. The resin structure was divided into fragmentary structures to study the interaction of each functional group with the alumina surface using DFT calculations. From the characteristics of the adhesive structures and the calculated adhesion energies, it was found that the fragments forming hydrogen bonds with hydroxy groups on the alumina surface resulted in large adhesion energies. On the other hand, the fragments adsorbed on the alumina surface via dispersion interactions resulted in small adhesion energies. The adhesion forces evaluated from the Hellmann-Feynman force calculations indicated the significant contribution of the hydroxy groups and benzene ether moieties derived from DGEBA to the adhesive stress of the DGEBA/DDS epoxy resin. The direction of hydrogen bonding between the epoxy resin and the surface and the difference in geometry at the interface between the donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonding played a central role in maintaining the adhesive strength during the failure process of the adhesive interface.

Abstract
Adhesive strength is known to change significantly depending on the direction of the force applied. In this study, the peel and tensile adhesive forces between the hydroxylated silica (001) surface and epoxy resin are estimated based on quantum chemical calculations. Here, density functional theory (DFT) with dispersion correction is used. In the peel process, the epoxy resin is pulled off from the terminal part, while in the tensile process, the entire epoxy resin is pulled off vertically. As a result of these calculations, the maximum adhesive force in the peel process is decreased to be about 40% of that in the tensile process. The adhesion force-displacement curve for the peeling process shows two characteristic peaks corresponding to the process where the adhesive molecule horizontally oriented to the surface shifts to a vertical orientation to the surface and the process where the vertical adhesive molecule is dissociated from the surface. Force decomposition analysis is performed to further understand the peel adhesion force; the contribution of the dispersion force is found to be slightly larger than that of the DFT force. This feature is common to the tensile process as well. Each force in the peel process is about 40% smaller than the corresponding force in the tensile process.

Abstract
A series of chromium-halide, -nitride, and -dinitrogen complexes bearing carbene- and phosphine-based PCP-type pincer ligands has been newly prepared, and some of them are found to work as effective catalysts to reduce dinitrogen under atmospheric pressure, whereby up to 11.60 equiv. of ammonia and 2.52 equiv. of hydrazine (16.6 equiv. of fixed N atom) are produced based on the chromium atom. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful example of chromium-catalyzed conversion of dinitrogen to ammonia and hydrazine under mild reaction conditions.

CH4 conversion is one of the most challenging chemical reactions due to its inertness in terms of physical and chemical properties. We have achieved photo-induced C–H bond breaking of CH4 and successive C–O bond formation to form CH3OH concomitant with HCHO by an organometallic Ru complex with O2. We have achieved aerobic transformation of methane to C1 chemicals catalysed by a homogeneous organometallic catalyst with light energy input.![]()

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical element for all sorts of reactions that use water as a hydrogen source, such as hydrogen evolution and electrochemical CO2 reduction, and novel design principles that provide highly active sites on OER electrocatalysts push the limits of their practical applications. Herein, Au-cluster loading on unilamellar exfoliated layered double hydroxide (ULDH) electrocatalysts for the OER is demonstrated to fabricate a heterointerface between Au clusters and ULDHs as an active site, which is accompanied by the oxidation state modulation of the active site and interfacial direct OO coupling ("interfacial DOOC"). The Au-cluster-loaded ULDHs exhibit excellent activities for the OER with an overpotential of 189 mV at 10 mA cm-2 . X-ray absorption fine structure measurements reveal that charge transfer from the Au clusters to ULDHs modifies the oxidation states of trivalent metal ions, which can be active sites on the ULDHs. The present study, supported by highly sensitive spectroscopy combining reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy and modulation-excitation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, indicates that active sites at the interface between the Au clusters and ULDHs promote a novel OER mechanism through interfacial DOOC, thereby achieving outstanding catalytic performance.

Abstract
The reaction of osmium tetroxide (OsO4) and carboxylate anions (acetate: X- = AcO- and benzoate: X- = BzO-) gave 1 : 1 adducts, [OsO4(X)]- (1X), the structures of which were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. In both cases, the carboxylate anion X coordinates to the osmium centre to generate a distorted trigonal bipyramidal osmium(VIII) complex. The carboxylate adducts show a negative shift of the redox potentials (E1/2) and a red shift of the νOsO stretches as compared to those of tetrahedral OsO4 itself. Despite the negative shift of E1/2, the reactivity of these adduct complexes 1X was enhanced compared to that of OsO4 in benzylic C(sp3)-H bond oxidation. The reaction obeyed the first-order kinetics on both 1X and the substrates, giving the second-order rate constant (k2), which exhibits a linear correlation with the C-H bond dissociation energy (BDEC-H) of the substrates (xanthene, 9,10-dihydroanthracene, fluorene and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) and a kinetic deuterium isotope effect (KIE) of 9.7 (k2(xanthene-h2)/k2(xanthene-d2)). On the basis of these kinetic data together with the DFT calculation results, we propose a stepwise reaction mechanism involving rate-limiting benzylic hydrogen atom abstraction and subsequent rebound of the generated organic radical intermediate to a remaining oxido group on the osmium centre.

Abstract
During the self-assembly of π-conjugated molecules, linkers and substituents can potentially add supportive noncovalent intermolecular interactions to π-stacking interactions. Here, we report the self-assembly behavior of thienopyrrole-fused thiadiazole (TPT) fluorescent dyes that possess ester or ether linkers and dodecyloxy side chains in solution and the condensed phase. A comparison of the self-association behavior of the ester- and ether-bridged compounds in solution using detailed UV-vis, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that the subtle replacement of the ether linkers by ester linkers leads to a distinct increase in the association constant (ca. 3-4 fold) and the enthalpic contribution (ca. 3 kcal mol-1). Theoretical calculations suggest that the ester linkers, which are in close proximity to one another due to the π-stacking interactions, induce attractive electrostatic forces and augment self-association. The self-assembly of TPT dyes into well-defined 1D clusters with high aspect ratios was observed, and their morphologies and crystallinity were investigated using SEM and X-ray diffraction analyses. TPTs with ester linkers exhibit a columnar liquid crystalline mesophase in the condensed phase.

Abstract
The presence of adsorbed water on hydrophilic solid surfaces should be taken into account, especially in humid environments. It significantly reduces the adhesive strength between the epoxy resin and the adherend surface. Here, the adhesion structure of interfacial water sandwiched between bisphenol A epoxy resin and a hydroxylated silica (001) surface is investigated with microsecond molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, interfacial water layers with initial thicknesses of 7.5, 10, and 20 Å are modeled. The density curves of water and the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A show that at room temperature, the surface of the silica with hydroxyl groups is completely covered with a thick layer of water. For water layers thinner than 10 Å, the density of epoxy resin on the silica surface increases when the system is heated and does not return to the original density when the system is cooled. Furthermore, calculation of the interaction energy revealed that the exclusion of water from the hydroxylated surface by epoxy resin during heating can contribute to the increase in the adhesive interaction between the epoxy resin and the silica surface with hydroxyl groups.
