Electrocatalysis has been identified as a powerful strategy for organometallic catalysis, and yet electrocatalytic C-H activation is restricted to strongly N-coordinating directing groups. The first example of electrocatalytic C-H activation by weak O-coordination is presented, in which a versatile ruthenium(II) carboxylate catalyst enables electrooxidative C-H/O-H functionalization for alkyne annulations in the absence of metal oxidants; thereby exploiting sustainable electricity as the sole oxidant. Mechanistic insights provide strong support for a facile organometallic C-H ruthenation and an effective electrochemical reoxidation of the key ruthenium(0) intermediate.

The mol-ecular structure of the title complex, [Ag(NO)(CHP)], exhibits a severely distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment around the central Ag atom, comprising one O and three P atoms. Apart from a primary Ag-O coordination of the nitrato ligand of 2.667 (3) Å, a second (weaker) secondary inter-action of the nitrato ligand the other O atom of 3.

The molecular geometry of new titanium(IV) and oxidozirconium(IV) phenylacetohydroxamate complexes [TiCl (L1) ] (I) and [ZrO(L1) ] (II) (where L1 = Potassium phenylacetohydroxamate = C H CH CONHOK) computed by B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method has shown these to be distorted octahedral and square pyramidal, respectively. A comparison of computed characteristic bond lengths (CO, CN, and NO) of complexes with that of free ligand has shown chelation through carbonyl and hydroxamic oxygen atoms (O, O coordination). The TiO/ZrO bond lengths in complexes are suggestive of weak coordination through (carbonyl CO) and strong covalent (hydroxamic NO) bonding of the ligand.

Co(II) mononuclear complex with different coordination geometry would display various of field-induced single-ion magnet (SIM) behaviors. Here, we identify a field-induced single-ion magnet in a mononuclear complex Co(HDPA)·HO (HDPA = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) by the hydrothermal method. The long axial Co-O coordination bond (Co1‧‧‧O3) can be formed by Co1 and O3.

Direct C-H functionalizations by electrocatalysis is dominated by strongly coordinating N(sp )-directing groups. In sharp contrast, direct electrocatalytic transformations of weakly-coordinating phenols remain underdeveloped. Herein, electrooxidative peri C-H alkenylations of challenging 1-naphthols were achieved by versatile rhodium(III) catalysis via user-friendly constant current electrolysis.

It has been reported that aqueous lithium ion batteries (ALIBs) can operate beyond the electrochemical window of water by using a superconcentrated electrolyte aqueous solution. The liquid structure, particularly the local structure of the Li, which is rather different from conventional dilute solution, plays a crucial role in realizing the ALIB. To reveal the local structure around Li, the superconcentrated LiTFSA (TFSA: bis(trifluoromethylsulfonil)amide) aqueous solutions were investigated by means of Raman spectroscopic experiments, high-energy X-ray total scattering measurements, and the neutron diffraction technique with different isotopic composition ratios of Li/Li and H/D.
