Pendant amines play an invaluable role in chemical reactivity, especially for molecular
catalysts based on earth-abundant metals. As inspired by [FeFe]-hydrogenases, which …

While hydrogen plays an ever-increasing role in modern society, nature has utilized
hydrogen since a very long time as an energy carrier and storage molecule. Among the …

Hydrogenase enzymes efficiently process H2 and protons at organometallic FeFe, NiFe, or
Fe active sites. Synthetic modeling of the many H2ase states has provided insight into …

The reaction takes place at a specialized metal center that dramatically increases the acidity
of H2 and leads to a heterolytic splitting of the molecule which is strongly accelerated by the …

Improving the proton transfer rate in the proton-coupled electron transfer process is the key
to accelerating the reaction kinetics of CO2 electroreduction (CO2ER). However, the …

Over the last 15 years, a plethora of research has provided major insights into the structure
and function of hydrogenase enzymes. This has led to the important development of …

This article sets out to review the chemistry relating to the synthesis of structural and
functional analogues of the three classes of hydrogenases. This chemistry has grown …

Conspectus Hydrogen has been labeled the fuel of the future since it contains no carbon,
has the highest specific enthalpy of combustion of any chemical fuel, yields only water upon …

Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

Ein Muster an Ausdauer: Der abgebildete biomimetische Nickelthiolatkomplex zeigt in der
Titelreaktion eine unerreichte Aktivität. Bei Verwendung geringer Konzentrationen des …
