TL;DR: A dinuclear Copper(I) complex that is oxidized in air by CO2 rather than O2 is described; the product is a tetranuclear copper(II) complex containing two bridging CO2-derived oxalate groups, which can be nearly quantitatively electrochemically reduced at a relatively accessible potential, regenerating the initial dinuclear copper (I) compound.

TL;DR: The controlled and fully reversible crystalline-state reaction of gaseous SO2 with non-porous crystalline materials consisting of organoplatinum molecules is reported, which modifies the structures of these molecules without affecting their crystallinity.

TL;DR: In this article, the bite angle effect on the rhodium diphosphine catalyzed hydroformylation was investigated in detail, and a series of xantphos-type ligands with natural bite angles ranging from 102° to 121° was synthesized, and the effect of the natural bite angle on coordination chemistry and catalytic performance was studied.

TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of a series of iron(II) complexes with pentadentate N5 ligands that react with H( 2)O(2) to generate transient low-spin Fe(III)-OOH intermediates is reported, with first metrical details of the iron-peroxo units in this family of complexes revealed.

TL;DR: In this article, a supramolecular biomimetic approach to form a catalyst that produces molecular hydrogen using light as the energy source is presented, which is composed of an assembly of chromophores to a bis(thiolate)-bridged diiron ([2Fe2S]) based hydrogenase catalyst.
