New derivatives of formula [M(dieneN4)](TCNQ)3, M = Ni or Cu and dieneN4 = cis- or trans-hexamethyltetraazacyclotetradecadiene, have been obtained. The TCNQ units show electronic delocalization and formation of 1D stacks, with no direct interactions with the metal cations. The stack is not uniform and can be seen as formed by trimeric dianions (TCNQ)3(2-). The electronic delocalization favors the conductivity in these materials, which behave as good semiconductors. The crystal structures of the trans derivatives have been solved: [Ni(transdieneN4)](TCNQ)3, triclinic, P-1, a = 8.809(2) A, b = 10.896(2) A, c = 13.727(2) A, alpha = 103.04(1) degrees, beta = 101.23(2) degrees, gamma = 109.37(2) degrees, Z = 1; [Cu(trans-dieneN4)](TCNQ)3: triclinic, P-1, a = 7.872(1) A, b = 9.840(1) A, c = 14.819(1) A, alpha = 92.32(1) degrees, beta = 95.05(1) degrees, gamma = 95.66(1) degrees, Z = 1.

This study explores the roles of halide ligands and external electric fields (EEFs) in tuning the reactivity of cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cyclometalation (OCM) of 1,6-enynes, focusing on the concerted mechanism. Using density functional theory (DFT), we investigate how these factors influence key processes in the OCM step, particularly the cleavage of π bonds, the formation of M-C bonds, and the creation of a new C-C bond. Our findings show that polar solvents lower activation barriers, while halide ligands increase them, inhibiting the reaction by weakening π back-donation and reducing orbital overlap.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising pre-catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water electrolysis. However, the coordination chemistry of MOF ligands in reconstructed species remains poorly understood, particularly regarding how ligand modulation influences the electronic configurations of catalytic sites. In this study, we present the synthesis of an α-FeOOH coated Ni-catecholate MOF composite (FeOOH@Ni-CAT), which transforms into a ligand-coordinated γ-NiFeOOH active species during OER.

Activation of inert molecules and stabilization of intermediates during photocatalytic reactions in Bi-based photocatalysts can be achieved by shifting the band center of Bi 6p orbital but the underlying mechanism requires further investigation. Herein, halogen-doping BiOCl photocatalysts were synthesized using a simple solvothermal method and experimental results showed that BiOClBr and BiOClI photocatalysts not only achieved a maximum CO evolution rate of 270 and 227 µL·g·h with a high selectivity of 97 %, but also effectively removed environmental pollutants. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that halogen-doping shifted the band center of the Bi 6p orbital in BiOCl towards the Fermi level, leading to the delocalization of the Bi 6p orbital.

A series of axially phenoxide-bound Ni(II)-Fe(III) heterobimetallic porphyrin dimers, as a synthetic mimic of the diheme enzyme MauG, have been synthesized, which upon 4e oxidations revealed the oxidized complex involving porphyrin π-cation radicals, an Fe(III)-coordinated phenoxyl radical, and a Ni(III) center. Redox cooperativity and the extensive π-conjugation through the bridge make the oxidized complex behave like a single supramolecular entity having unpaired electrons spread over five magnetic centers. Several isoelectronic states for the oxidized Fe(por) center, i.

Molecules with large gaps between their first singlet and triplet excited states (ΔEST) are key components of various modern technologies, most prominently singlet fission photovoltaics and triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion. The design of these molecules is hampered by the fact that only limited rules for maximizing ΔEST exist, other than increasing the overlap between the frontier molecular orbitals (FMO). Here we suggest a new strategy for tuning and maximizing ΔEST based on a detailed analysis of the underlying quantum mechanical energy terms.
