Two novel ternary air-stable transition-metal carbodiimides, MnHf(NCN) and FeHf(NCN), were synthesized via solid-state metathesis using either ZnNCN or NaNCN as the carbodiimide source and the corresponding binary metal chlorides. These two phases are the first examples of transition-metal carbodiimides with an (NCN) composition, akin to ubiquitous O perovskite oxides. The crystal structure of MnHf(NCN) was determined and refined from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data in the non-centrosymmetric space group 622 allowing for chirality, the assignment of which is supported by second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements.

The field of nickel catalysis has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years. However, the use of nickel catalysts in enantioselective C-H activation remains a daunting challenge because of their variable oxidation states, intricate coordination chemistry, and unpredictable reactivity patterns. Herein, we report an enantioselective C-H activation reaction catalyzed by commercially available and air-stable nickel(II) catalyst.

Magnetic materials are widely used for many technologies in energy, health, transportation, computation, and data storage. For the latter, the readout of the magnetic state of a medium is crucial. Optical readout based on the magneto-optical Faraday effect was commercialized but soon abandoned because of the need for a complex circular polarization-sensitive readout.

The Weyl semimetals represent a distinct category of topological materials wherein the low-energy excitations appear as the long-sought Weyl Fermions. Exotic transport and optical properties are expected because of the chiral anomaly and linear energy-momentum dispersion. While three-dimensional Weyl semimetals have been successfully realized, the quest for their two-dimensional (2D) counterparts is ongoing.

Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of air-stable, cost-effective, and readily synthesizable iron(III) salen complexes ( and ) for facilitating the selective hydroboration of ketones and unactivated imines with pinacolborane in the absence of any additive. These catalyst systems exhibited good yields, chemoselectivity, high atom economy, and a broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions with a minimal catalyst loading of 0.2 mol %.
