The development of efficient and robust catalytic systems based on earth-abundant transition metals for fundamentally new transformations is crucial for sustainable chemical synthesis. Herein, an effective and selective Ni-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with hydrazines with the liberation of ammonia gas is reported. Although several methods were documented for the -alkylation reaction, the present strategy is conceptually novel, and the reaction proceeds through a pathway involving N-N bond cleavage of phenylhydrazine followed by hydrogen autotransfer.

An Earth-abundant Mn-PNP pincer complex-catalyzed terpenylation of cyclic and acyclic ketones and secondary alcohol 1-phenylethanol using isoprenoid derivatives prenol, nerol, phytol, solanesol, and E-farnesol as allyl surrogates is reported. The C-C coupling reactions are green and atom-economic, proceeding via dehydrogenation of alcohols following a hydrogen autotransfer methodology aided by metal-ligand cooperation.

This study presents a method for synthesizing functionalized hydrodibenzofuran derivatives. Using palladium catalysis, -aryl cyclic vinylogous esters undergo dehydrogenative intramolecular arylation at the vinylic carbon. Preliminary kinetic isotope effect studies suggest that the C(aryl)-H bond cleavage may be the rate-determining step.

We report the synthesis, isolation, and characterization of a stable donor-acceptor substituted -quinodimethane (QDM). This system with an imidazolidine scaffold as the donor can also be referred to as acceptor-substituted --heterocyclic quinodimethane (NHQ). We have examined the extent of polarization of the conjugated π-system using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR and UV/vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and DFT computations.

The interaction between interfacial water and transition metal oxides is a primary enabling step for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). RuO is a prototypical OER electrocatalyst whose ability to activate interfacial water molecules is essential to its OER activity. We image the dissociation of surface water into OH* and O* on RuO(110), where * denotes adsorbed species, using atomic force microscopy.
