The magnetization and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of a 5CB nematic liquid crystal doped three extracts containing chlorophylls a and b and carotenoids in different weight percentage has been studied. The extracts have been dissolved in the liquid crystal matrix at a concentration of 2%. The magnetic susceptibility of the substances has been measured by the Faraday-Curie balance method.

Activation of N through transition-metal complexes has emerged as a powerful strategy for N fixation under mild conditions. Dissociative route and associative route are considered as two major routes for N transformation on transition-metal complexes. Homolysis of N between two metal fragments is the crucial step of the dissociative route and has been proven to be an efficient approach to the terminal metal nitride, which is the key intermediate for both routes.

The conjugate-pair molecules of CO and CPt provide a prototype of the autogenic isolobal relationship between the O and Pt atoms that can rationalize the structure and reactivity trends of platinum carbides. Herein, the photoelectron detachment at 532 nm has been recorded for the gas-phase CPt by using the photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy. The vibrationally resolved ground-state transition reveals a wealth of information concerning the electronic ground states of CPt.

Herein, we report reversible electrocatalytic NAD/NADH interconversion mediated by [Cp*Ir(pyza)Cl] (, pyza = pyrazine amidate). was designed through a rational approach aimed at lowering the overpotential of NAD to NADH reduction with respect to that observed for electrocatalyst [Cp*Ir(pica)Cl] (, pica = picolinamidate). The peculiar properties of pyza, which is substantially less σ electron-donator and more π electron-acceptor than pica, resulted in an easier bielectronic reduction process occurring at -0.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on how Co(III) acts as a catalyst in reactions between N-chlorobenzamide and various olefins, analyzing how different electron properties of these olefins affect the reaction outcomes.
  • - A key finding is that the step where the alkene inserts into the reaction dictates the overall regioselectivity, meaning it influences which products are formed.
  • - The energy decomposition analysis (EDA) reveals that when using styrene, a specific insertion is favored due to less repulsion between the particles involved, while a different insertion pathway is preferred with vinyltrimethylsilane because of its higher electron density enhancing stabilizing interactions.
