Solvent- and catalyst-free reduction of CO2 with ammonia borane
Andreas Züttel, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong
Ammonia borane (AB) has been extensively studied as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. On the other hand, its reactivity with CO2 is still unclear, especially in the solid state. By carefully controlling the CO2 pressure and temperature, AB efficient ...
Cambridge20241,3,2‐Diazaphospholenes Catalyze the Conjugate Reduction of Substituted Acrylic Acids
Nicolai Cramer, John Henry Reed
The potent nucleophilicity and remarkably low basicity of 1,3,2- diazaphospholenes (DAPs) is exploited in a catalytic, metal-free 1,4-reduction of free ,-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Notably, the reduction occurs without a prior deprotonation of the car ...
2020Pivotal role of the redox-active tyrosine in driving the water splitting catalyzed by photosystem II
Daniele Narzi, Leonardo Guidoni
Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by the Mn4Ca cluster in photosystem II (PSII). The nearby redox-active tyrosine (Y-Z) serves as a direct electron acceptor of the Mn4Ca cluster and it forms a low-barrier H-bond (LBHB) with a neighboring histidin ...
