Explaining the Advantageous Impact of Tertiary versus Secondary Nitrogen Center on the Activity of PNP-Pincer Co(I)-Complexes for Catalytic Hydrogenation of CO2

Pincer ligated coordination complexes of base metals have shown remarkable catalytic activity for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of CO2. The recently reported MeNCH2CH2(Pr-i(2))Co(I)PNP-pincer complex was shown to exhibit substantially higher catalytic ...

Highly Selective Oxidation and Depolymerization of α,γ-Diol Protected Lignin

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Wu Lan

Lignin oxidation offers a potential sustainable pathway to oxygenated aromatic molecules. However, current methods that use real lignin tend to have low selectivity and a yield that is limited by lignin degradation during its extraction. We developed stoic ...

Reversible Dihydrogen Activation and Hydride Transfer by a Uranium Nitride Complex

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Marta Falcone, Lok Nga Poon

Abstract: Cleavage of dihydrogen is an important step in the industrial and enzymatic transformation of N2 into ammonia. The reversible cleavage of dihydrogen was achieved under mild conditions (room temperature and 1 atmosphere of H2) by the molecular ura ...

Calorimetric and Spectroscopic Studies on the Solvation Energetics for H2 Storage in the CO2/HCOOH System

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink

Solvents play a crucial role in many chemical reactions and additives can be used to shift the reaction equilibrium. Herein we study the enthalpy of mixing for selected solvents (aqueous, organic) and basic additives (amines, aqueous KOH) when mixed with f ...

Iron Complexes for Hydrogen Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation

Simona Mazza

Inspired by Nature several groups have developed structural and functional iron complexes mimicking the active site of the iron-hydrogenases, which show high reactivity in the H2 cleavage. Usually pendant bases have been incorporated onto families of Fe co ...
