A practical and effective nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative [4 + 2] annulation of 1-indanones with alkynes was reported. In this protocol, nickel-catalyzed desaturation of 1-indanones and nickel hydride catalyzed coupling with alkynes were first incorporated. A cyclopentadiene-type nickel hydride species was generated in situ via β-H elimination, and they subsequently reacted with a wide variety of alkynes to afford various benzo[a]fluorenone derivatives in good yields and regioselectivity.

Unraveling the electronic structure of metal complexes can bring various catalytic possibilities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the electronic effect of metal and ligands modulating and switching the reaction center for HER has yet to be comprehensively analyzed. Herein, we report nickel selenoether electrocatalysts which show tunable reaction centers (nickel or ligand) for HER using mild weak acetic acid in less deprotonating DMF solvent.

There is still much to be learned about the properties of siderophores and their applications. This study was designed to characterize and optimize the production of the siderophore produced by a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ASA235 and then evaluate their use in bioleaching of rare earth elements (REEs) from spent Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

The second 3d-transition metal incorporation in Ni-(oxy)hydroxide has a drastic effect on alkaline OER and alcohol dehydrogenation reactivity. While Mn incorporation suppresses the alkaline OER, it greatly improves the alcohol dehydrogenation reactivity. A complete reversal of reactivity is obtained when Fe is incorporated, which shows better performance for alkaline OER with poor alcohol dehydrogenation reactivity.

Using amines in catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) is challenging, despite their potential availability as a hydrogen source. Here, we describe a photoredox/nickel-catalyzed TH of alkyne through an intermediary aminoalkyl Ni species. This reaction successfully provided functionalized ()-alkenes, such as (homo)allyl ethers, alcohols, and amides (/ = up to >99:1), and the reaction thus bypasses a limitation of substrate scope in TH using amine and a Lindlar catalyst.

Divergent catalysis represents an exciting frontier for unlocking molecular structural diversity and exploring new activation modes. Here, we report the unexpected discovery of polarity-reversed divergent activation and functionalization of aliphatic aldehydes, where enolizable aliphatic aldehydes are selectively activated by nickel hydride to form two distinct alkylnickel intermediates divergently. This mild and operationally simple process enables the transformation of a wide variety of readily available aliphatic aldehydes, along with alkyl or aryl electrophiles, into the corresponding secondary alcohols or more challenging deoxygenated alkanes with excellent chemoselectivity.
