Dual-atom catalysts featuring synergetic dinuclear active sites, have the potential of breaking the linear scaling relationship of the well-established single-atom catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction; however, the design of dual-atom catalysts with rationalized local microenvironment for high activity and selectivity remains a great challenge. Here we design a bisalphen ladder polymer with well-defined densely populated binuclear cobalt sites on Ketjenblack substrates. The strong electron coupling effect between the fully-conjugated ladder structure and carbon substrates enhances the electron transfer between the cobalt center and oxygen intermediates, inducing the low-to-high spin transition for the 3d electron of Co(II).

Anilido-oxazoline-ligated iron complexes, including bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron(II), mononuclear iron(II) alkyl and aryloxide, as well as the dinuclear analogues, were synthesized, and their catalytic performance on ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has been studied. Transmetalation of FeCl(THF) with in situ-generated anilido-oxazolinate lithium afforded the bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron complexes and . Half-sandwich anilido-oxazolinate iron trimethylsilylalkyl complexes and could be synthesized in good yields via taking pyridine as an L-type ligand.

The major source of fluoride, namely calcium difluoride (CaF), is derived from the mineral fluorspar. Recent advances in the activation of CaF via mechanochemical methods have inspired investigation of the fundamental properties of Ca-F bonds in molecular complexes. However, the paucity of well-defined molecular Ca-F-containing complexes undermines systematic understanding of the factors governing nucleophilic fluoride delivery.

Nickel coordination compounds featuring Ni-O bonds are key structural motifs in both bioinorganic and synthetic chemistries. They serve as precursors for organic substrate oxidation and are commonly invoked intermediates in water oxidation and oxygen reduction schemes. Herein, we disclose a series of well-defined dinuclear nickel complexes that, upon treatment with CO and HO, afford the first nickel-bound peroxycarbonate.

Calcium fluoride is the ultimate source of all fluorochemicals. Current synthetic approaches rely on the use of HF, generated from naturally occurring fluorspar and sulfuric acid. Methods for constructing E-F bonds directly from CaF have long been frustrated by its high lattice energy, low solubility and impaired fluoride ion nucleophilicity.
