Conspectus The functions of metal complexes are directly linked to the local environment in
which they are housed; modifications to the local environment (or secondary coordination …

The direct activation of C–H bonds has been a rich and active field of organometallic
chemistry for many years. Recently, incredible progress has been made and important …

The development of efficient and robust earth‐abundant electrocatalysts for the oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) is an ongoing challenge. Here, a novel and stable trimetallic …

Electric fields underlie all reactions and impact reactivity by interacting with the dipoles and
net charges of transition states, products, and reactants to modify the free energy landscape …

Within photosynthetic organisms, the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II
generates dioxygen from water using a catalytic Mn4CaO n cluster (n varies with the …

Novel chiral iron phosphate complexes were prepared as catalysts for asymmetric oxidative
coupling reactions. These catalysts were applied for the synthesis of enantio-enriched C 1 …

Redox-inactive metals are found in biological and heterogeneous water oxidation catalysts,
but, at present, their roles in catalysis are not well understood. Here, we report a series of …

Mixed metal oxides comprise a diverse class of materials that are appealing as potential
water oxidation electrocatalysts. Here we report combinatorial screening of nearly 3500 …

Understanding the effect of redox-inactive metals on the properties of biological and
heterogeneous water oxidation catalysts is important both fundamentally and for …

An electron rich Ni (I)–Ni (I) bond supported by a doubly reduced naphthyridine–diimine
(NDI) ligand reacts rapidly and reversibly with Ph2SiH2 and Et2SiH2 to form stable adducts …
