Three Stryker-type copper hydride nanoclusters ([CuH]6) were synthesized. Variations in the electron-donating properties of phosphine ligands affect the hydrogenation reaction and reduction process activity of [CuH]6.
A cryoEM structure of ammonia monooxygenase in native membranes reveals for the first time simultaneous occupancy of the active site CuC and CuD centers, facilitated by an endogenous lipid.
A stable Cu(I)-carboxylate MOF is fabricated by ascorbic acid reduction, which breaks HSAB theory and achieves in situ phase transitions. The resultant Cu2H2DOBDC acting as a CuAAC catalyst exhibited superior catalytic performance.
This review provides an overview on recent developments in transition-metal-catalysed intermolecular saturated C(sp3)–N(sp3) bond-forming reactions. Moreover, limitations and perspectives on emerging opportunities in this area are also discussed.
Porphyrin-based covalent organic framework displaying high photocatalytic activity for CO2 to CO reduction with only H2O and without a sacrificial reagent.
