TLDR
In this article, a comparison between the metal-olefin π bonding model first brought to light by Dewar, Chatt, and Duncanson 60 years ago and the bonding model for side-on σ-bond coordination discovered by us 30 years ago is made.

Unravelling the Mechanism of the Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Acetophenone by [RuX2(diphosphine)(1,2-diamine)] Catalysts

TL;DR: The mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of acetophenone by the chiral complex trans-[RuCl2{(S)-binap}{(S,S)-dpen}] and KO-t-C4H9 in propan-2-ol is revised on the basis of DFT computations carried out in dielectric continuum and the most recent experimental observations, suggesting that neither a six-membered pericyclic transition state nor any multibond concerted transition states
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of enantioselective ketone reduction with Noyori and Noyori-Ikariya bifunctional catalysts.

TL;DR: Analysis presented herein expands the concept of "metal-ligand cooperation", redefines the term "cooperative ligand" and introduces "H(-)/H(+) outer-sphere hydrogenation" as a novel paradigm in outer- Spheres hydrogenation.

Powering the planet: Chemical challenges in solar energy utilization

TL;DR: Solar energy is by far the largest exploitable resource, providing more energy in 1 hour to the earth than all of the energy consumed by humans in an entire year, and if solar energy is to be a major primary energy source, it must be stored and dispatched on demand to the end user.

Hydrogen storage in metal–organic frameworks

TL;DR: This critical review of the current status of hydrogen storage within microporous metal-organic frameworks provides an overview of the relationships between structural features and the enthalpy of hydrogen adsorption, spectroscopic methods for probing framework-H(2) interactions, and strategies for improving storage capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen Storage in Microporous Metal-Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: Inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy of the rotational transitions of the adsorbed hydrogen molecules indicates the presence of two well-defined binding sites (termed I and II), which are associated with hydrogen binding to zinc and the BDC linker, respectively.

Activation of c-h bonds by metal complexes

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the same alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) complex is the intermediate in the reaction of ethane with platinum(II) σ-complexes.

X-ray crystal structure of the Fe-only hydrogenase (CpI) from Clostridium pasteurianum to 1.8 angstrom resolution.

TL;DR: A three-dimensional structure for the monomeric iron-containing hydrogenase (CpI) from Clostridium pasteurianum was determined, providing insights into the mechanism of biological hydrogen activation and has broader implications for [Fe-S] cluster structure and function in biological systems.
