Hydrogen obtained from renewable sources such as water and alcohols is regarded as an efficient clean-burning alternative to non-renewable fuels. The use of the so-called bio-H regardless of its colour will be a significant step towards achieving global net-zero carbon goals. Challenges still persist however with conventional H storage, which include low-storage density and high cost of transportation apart from safety concerns. Global efforts have thus focussed on liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which have shown excellent potential for H storage while allowing safer large-scale transformation and easy on-site H generation. While water could be considered as the most convenient liquid inorganic hydrogen carrier (LIHC) on a long-term basis, the utilization of alcohols as LOHCs to generate on-demand H has tasted instant success. This has helped to draw a road-map of futuristic H storage and transportation. The current review brings to the fore the state-of-the-art developments in hydrogen generation from readily available, feed-agnostic bio-alcohols as LOHCs using molecular transition-metal catalysts.

New tetrakis Eu and Gd β-diketonate complexes containing benzimidazolium (Bzim) as the counterion were synthesized by the one-pot method. The Bzim[Eu(tta)]·HO complex was further incorporated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix (PMMA) at 1, 5, and 10% (w/w), which revealed highly desirable photonic features. The Eu and Gd complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, in addition to ESI-MS spectrometry, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy.

We revisit the naked transition metal cation (Ti) and methanol reaction and go beyond the standard Landau-Zener (LZ) picture when modeling the intersystem crossing (ISC) rate between the lowest doublet and quartet states. We use both (i) unconstrained Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) calculations with an approximate two-state method to estimate population transfer between spin diabats and (ii) constrained dynamics to explore energetically accessible portions of the - 1 crossing seam, where is the total number of internal degrees of freedom. Whereas previous LZ calculations (that necessarily relied on the Condon approximation to be valid) fell short and predicted much slower crossing probabilities than shown in experiment, we show that ISC can occur rapidly because the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between the doublet and quartet surfaces can vary by 2 orders of magnitude (depending on where in the seam the crossing occurs during dynamics) and the crossing region is revisited multiple times during a dynamics run of a few hundred femtoseconds.

Effective light-based cancer treatments, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), rely on compounds that are activated by light efficiently, and absorb within the therapeutic window (600-850Â nm). Traditional prediction methods for these light absorption properties, including Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), are often computationally intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we explore a machine learning (ML) approach to predict the light absorption in the region of the therapeutic window of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, and rhodium complexes, aiming at streamlining the screening of potential photoactivatable prodrugs.
