At -90 °C in acetone, a stable hydroperoxo complex [(BA)Cu(II)OOH](+) (2) (BA, a tetradentate N(4) ligand possessing a pendant -N(H)CH(2)C(6)H(5) group) is generated by reacting [(BA)Cu(II)(CH(3)COCH(3))](2+) with only 1 equiv of H(2)O(2)/Et(3)N. The exceptional stability of 2 is ascribed to internal H-bonding. Species 2 is also generated in a manner not previously known in copper chemistry, by adding 1.5 equiv of H(2)O(2) (no base) to the cuprous complex [(BA)Cu(I)](+). The broad implications for this finding are discussed. Species 2 slowly converts to a μ-1,2-peroxodicopper(II) analogue (3) characterized by UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Unlike a close analogue not possessing internal H-bonding, 2 affords no oxidative reactivity with internal or external substrates. However, 2 can be protonated to release H(2)O(2), but only with HClO(4), while 1 equiv Et(3)N restores 2.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have received considerable attention as promising electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), yet their potential is often constrained by the inertness of the basal planes arising from their poor hydrogen adsorption ability. Here, the relationship between the electronic structure of the WS basal plane and HER activity is systemically analyzed to establish a clear insight. The valance state of the sulfur atoms on the basal plane has been tuned to enhance hydrogen adsorption through sequential engineering processes, including direct phase transition and heterostructure that induces work function-difference-induced unidirectional electron transfer.

Methanol has become a very important part of many industries, ranging from chemical production and pharmaceuticals to automotive and electronics manufacturing as a result of which methanol usage has spiked in recent years. But this exponential increase asks for precise detection methods as methanol has not only detrimental effects on environment but it is very dangerous to human health even if consumed in a minute amount .This paper will explore the unique physical and chemical properties of methanol which can be exploited to make it a target for different mechanisms such as H-Bonding, induced self-assembly, Internal Charge Transfer (ICT), Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), conformational flexibility, keto-enol tautomerization, adsorption etc.

ConspectusThe title should give a sense of the "big picture" of this Account, but what is it really about? An unexpected change in research direction? A series of courageous and creative students? A team taking on challenging problems in chemistry? The answer is a definite "yes" to all of the above. More specifically, the problem in which we are interested is the upconversion or valorization of carbon dioxide. This problem has captured the attention of a great many chemists in earnest following the gas crisis of the 1970s and more recently galvanized due to climate concerns arising from the ongoing release of anthropogenic carbon.

Metallosupramolecular architectures formed from metal ions and bridging ligands are increasing in popularity due to their range of applications and ease of self-assembly. Many are able to readily change their shape and/or function in response to an external stimulus and have the ability to encapsulate guest molecules within their internal cavities. Ferrocenyl groups (Fc) have been incorporated previously within the bridging ligands of metallosupramolecular structures due to their ideal attributes brought about by the structural and rotational flexiblity of the two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings coordinated to the Fe(II) centre.
