TL;DR: In this article, a set of robust molecular cobalt catalysts for the generation of hydrogen from water is reported, supported by the parent pentadentate polypyridyl ligand PY5Me2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early-Transition-Metal-Mediated Activation and Transformation of White Phosphorus
TL;DR: The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available and the public is invited to share how this access benefits you.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow magnetic relaxation in a pseudotetrahedral cobalt(II) complex with easy-plane anisotropy
Joseph M. Zadrozny,Junjie Liu,Nicholas A. Piro,Christopher J. Chang,Christopher J. Chang,Stephen Hill,Jeffrey R. Long +6 more
TL;DR: A pseudotetrahedral cobalt(II) complex with a positive axial zero-field splitting parameter of D = 12.7 cm(-1), as determined by high-field EPR spectroscopy, is shown to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation under an applied dc field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triple-Bond Reactivity of Diphosphorus Molecules
TL;DR: Diph phosphorus stabilized by coordination to tungsten pentacarbonyl can be generated similarly at 25°C, and in this stabilized form it still efficiently consumes two organic diene molecules for every diphosphorus unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electrochemical behavior of cerium(III/IV) complexes: Thermodynamics, kinetics and applications in synthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey the general thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics and reported potentials for molecular cerium redox chemistry, and illustrate the ligand types that most effectively stabilize each oxidation state.
