Reaction mechanisms for the oxidative reactions of CO(2) and COS with [(C(5)Me(5))(2)Sm] have been investigated by means of DFT methods. The experimental formation of oxalate and dithiocarbonate complexes is explained. Their formation involve the samarium(III) bimetallic complexes [(C(5)Me(5))(2)Sm-CO(2)-Sm(C(5)Me(5))(2)] and [(C(5)Me(5))(2)Sm-COS-Sm(C(5)Me(5))(2)] as intermediates, respectively, ruling out radical coupling for the formation of the oxalate complex.

Article Synopsis
- Photocatalytic hydrogen production using solar energy is an effective solution for energy and environmental issues, but inefficiencies arise from the rapid recombination of charges in semiconductor catalysts.
- Researchers used a co-catalyst loading strategy, specifically incorporating cobalt sulfide (CoS) onto bulk carbon nitride (BCN), to enhance photocatalytic performance for hydrogen production.
- The optimal CoS-BCN composite (with 15% CoS) showed a performance improvement of 156 times compared to BCN alone, as CoS nanoparticles facilitate electron transfer and reduce charge recombination, enhancing hydrogen evolution efficiency.

The photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO) into "liquid sunshine" methanol (CHOH) using semiconductor catalysts has garnered significant attention. Increasing the number of effective electrons and regulating reaction pathways is the key to improving the activity and selectivity of CHOH. Due to the electron transport properties of semiconductor heterojunctions and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), a CoS/CoS-rGO nanocomposite was constructed and applied to the photocatalytic reduction of CO to CHOH.

Several gallylenes [LGaM(THF)] stabilized by an α-diimine ligand (L=[(2,6-iPrCH)NC(Ph)] ; M=Li, n=3, 3-Li; M=Na, n=4, 3-Na; M=K, n=1, 3-K) were prepared, which display diverse reactivities toward carbon dioxide and its sulfurized analogues. The reaction of 3 with CO yielded a trimeric carbonate complex [{LGa(CO)}{μ-K(THF)}] (4) and a dinuclear oxo-carbonate complex [K(THF)][LGa(μ-CO)(μ-O)GaL] (5) in one pot through reductive disproportionation of CO. For CS, two ethenetetrathiolate gallium complexes, [M(Solv)][LGa(μ-CS)GaL] (M=Na, Solv=THF, 6; M=K, Solv=DME, 7), were obtained via reductive coupling of CS.

Electrochemical glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) is a promising candidate to couple with cathodic reaction, like hydrogen evolution reaction, to produce high-value product with less energy consumption. Two dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs), comprising square-planar metal-coordination motifs (e.g.

The spin state of transition-metal compounds in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) significantly impacts the electronic properties and the kinetics of sulfur redox reactions (SRR). However, accurately designing the spin state remains challenging, which is crucial for understanding the structure-performance relationship and developing high-performance electrocatalysts. Herein, the CoF, specifically the Co with 3d electrons in a high-spin state distribution (t e ), were tailored predictably for the first time through the weak coordination field effect of the F element.
