The monosiloxy surface complexes [([triple bond]SiO)Mo([triple bond]NAr)(=CHCMe(2)R')(OR)] (R' = Me or Ph; OR = OtBu, OCMe(CF(3))(2) or OAr) are obtained by grafting onto SiO(2-(700)) either symmetric Mo-alkylidene derivatives [Mo([triple bond]NAr)(=CHCMe(2)R')(OR)(2)] or asymmetric derivatives, that is, with two different pendant ligands, one amido and one alkoxy/aryloxy, [Mo([triple bond]NAr)(=CHCMe(2)R')(OR)(NC(6)H(8))]. The formation of these complexes was confirmed by mass-balance analysis, and infrared (IR) and NMR spectroscopies. These systems are highly efficient catalyst precursors for the metathesis of acyclic alkenes; the best results were seen when OR=OCMe(CF(3))(2). Nevertheless, they display poor performances in ring-closing metathesis, possibly due to the rigidity of the metal center (as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy), which therefore slows the rate of the metathesis.

The rational design and synthesis of bifunctionally active and durable oxygen electrocatalysts have garnered significant attention for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Intermetallic nanostructures are particularly promising for these applications due to their unique catalytic properties and exceptional durability. In this study, we present a fascinating synthetic approach for the direct synthesis of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst based on nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated ordered PdFe (o-PdFe@NC) intermetallic, using a cyano-bridged bimetallic single-source precursor tailored for aqueous rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

A Rh(III)-catalyzed sequential C-H bond addition to dienes and in situ formed aldimines was developed, allowing for the preparation of otherwise challenging to access amines with quaternary centers at the -position. A broad range of dienes were effective inputs and installed a variety of aryl and alkyl substituents at the quaternary carbon site. Aryl and alkyl sulfonamide and carbamate nitrogen substituents were incorporated by using different formaldimine precursors.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new catalyst layer using 3D porous B-doped graphene integrated with ultra-low platinum (Pt) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), aiming to improve activity and durability.
- The Pt/3D-PBG configuration achieved a maximum power density of 0.90 W/cm² while meeting the Department of Energy's 2025 targets, which is a significant breakthrough.
- The integration of boron (B) dopants enhances both the deposition of Pt and its electronic interaction, resulting in better performance and stability of the fuel cell at lower amounts of platinum.

Developing cost-effective, non-precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for advancing sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies, including zinc-air batteries, fuel cells, and water electrolyzers. This study presents a one-pot synthesis of cobalt-manganese mixed phosphates as effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for both ORR and OER. Among the catalysts tested, Na-Co-Mn-P [NaCo1.

The emergence of single-atom catalysts offers exciting prospects for the green production of hydrogen peroxide; however, their optimal local structure and the underlying structure-activity relationships remain unclear. Here we show trace Fe, up to 278 mg/kg and derived from microbial protein, serve as precursors to synthesize a variety of Fe single-atom catalysts containing FeNO (1 ≤ x ≤ 4) moieties through controlled pyrolysis. These moieties resemble the structural features of nonheme Fe-dependent enzymes while being effectively confined on a microbe-derived, electrically conductive carbon support, enabling high-current density electrolysis.
