Covalent organic frameworks are a class of extended crystalline organic materials that
possess unique architectures with high surface areas and tuneable pore sizes. Since the …

In recent years, both-organic frameworks (MOFs) based and covalent-organic frameworks
(COFs) based materials have been extensively utilized for catalysis because of their specific …

Globally increasing energy demands and environmental concerns related to the use of fossil
fuels have stimulated extensive research to identify new energy systems and economies that …

Conventional water electrolyzers produce H2 and O2 simultaneously, such that additional
gas separation steps are needed to prevent H2/O2 mixing. The sluggish anodic O2 …

Utilization of O2 as an abundant and environmentally benign oxidant is of great interest in
the design of bioinspired synthetic catalytic oxidation systems. Metalloenzymes activate O2 …

All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water
oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that …

Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their
surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these …

The ability to selectively functionalize ubiquitous C–H bonds streamlines the construction of
complex molecular architectures from easily available precursors. Here we report enzyme …

Selective functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds, water oxidation, and dioxygen
reduction are extremely important reactions in the context of finding energy carriers and …

Enzymatic haem and non-haem high-valent iron–oxo species are known to activate strong C–
H bonds, yet duplicating this reactivity in a synthetic system remains a formidable challenge …
