The bimolecular quenching rate constants of singlet oxygen ((1)O2) by cubane and cubane derivatives were determined and found to be in the order of 10(3)-10(4) M(-1) s(-1). These values represent larger values than expected for aliphatic alkanes as a model for C-H vibrational deactivation. This result is explained by the occurrence of two different deactivation mechanisms: energy transfer to cubane C-H vibrational modes and the formation of a charge-transfer complex between (1)O2 and cubane ((1)O2(*-)...cubane(*+)).

Activating the Basal Planes and Oxidized Oxygens in Layer-Structured Na CoO for Boosted OER Activity.

With the CoO slabs consisting of Co O cubane structure, layered Na CoO are considered promising candidates for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media given their earth-abundant and structural advantages. However, due to the strong adsorption of intermediates on the large basal planes, Na CoO cannot meet the activity demands. Here, a novel one-pot synthesis strategy is proposed to realize the high solubility of iron in Na CoO in an air atmosphere.

The reaction of one equivalent of 2-methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol (HL) with two equivalents of [Ni(OAc)2·4H2O] in methanol afforded the nonanuclear coordination cluster [Ni9(HL-κ(2)N,O)4(OAc-κ(2)O)2(μ2-OAc-κ(1)O)2(μ2-OAc-κ(2)O,O')4(μ3-OAc-κ(2)O;κ(2)O,O')2(μ3-OMe)8] (1). All nickel ions are hexacoordinated and show a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. This unusual centrosymmetric coordination cluster can be described as constituted by two cubane moieties connected by a linker comprising a nickel atom, situated on the inversion centre, four bridging acetates and two triply-bridging acetates.
