Four derivatives of a hydrogen oxidation catalyst, [Ni(PCy2NBn‑R2)2]2+ (Cy = cyclohexyl, Bn = benzyl, R = OMe, COOMe, CO-alanine-methyl ester, CO-phenylalanine-methyl ester), have been prepared to in
In this study, we present a new comprehensive methodology to quantify the catalytic activity of heterogeneous materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using ab initio simulations. The model
Highly active yttrium phosphasalen initiators for the stereocontrolled ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide are reported. The initiators are coordinated by a new class of ancillary ligand: an im
A novel homogeneous catalytic system has been developed for the regioselective hydrothiolation of alkynes based on CpNi(NHC)Cl complexes (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). The designed catalyst was effic
