Article Abstract
We present a DFT analysis of the role of the Cu-Ni synergistic effect for the CO reduction to CH, in comparison to the pure Cu catalyst. The analysis is focused on the thermodynamic stability of reactive intermediates along the proposed pathway of C species formation. We have observed that the potential needed for the reaction decreases with the addition of Ni in the investigated model. In addition, we have observed the differences in the preferred pathway based on the significant differences in stability of the reactive intermediates depending on th Cu:Ni ratio. The results suggest that despite the fact the Cu surface is always exposed, and it is the only one that is able to directly interact with the intermediates, the presence of the Ni in the underlying sections of the crystal is significant enough to change the mechanism of the reaction.

This study presents an eco-friendly approach for the green synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) using () (einkorn wheat) seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized MnONPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET, and zeta potential analyses, which confirmed their crystalline nature, spherical morphology, and mesoporous structure with a surface area of 41.50 m/g.

The super bulky sodium phosphanide, NaP(SiPr), was reacted with amidinatotetrylenes LECl (L = PhC(NBu), E = Si, Ge), resulting in the formation of phosphasilene LSi(SiPr) = PSiPr () and phosphanido germylene LGeP(SiPr) (), respectively. Investigation on the reactivity of and toward elemental sulfur was carried out, where a stepwise reaction yielding the silanethione LSi(=S)SiPr () and the silicon thioester analogue LSi(=S)SSiPr () was observed in the case of , while the treatment of with sulfur exclusively afforded the germanium thioester analogue. In addition, the reactions of with Fe(CO) and GeCl·1,4-dioxane led to the germylene-coordinated iron carbonyl and the asymmetric Ge-Ge-bonded complex, respectively, exhibiting the reactivity of the lone pair as well as a weak Ge-P bond.

In this study, we seek to deepen the understanding of the Fe effect in Ni-oxyhydroxide-mediated oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysis in alkaline conditions, where extremely small amounts of Fe can have a dramatic impact on catalytic performance. For this purpose, Density Functional Theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations with implicit solvation description is employed in a constant pH/potential simulation framework. Nanoparticle models are considered for the nickel-based oxyhydroxide material with different degrees of Fe incorporation, and the pH/U-dependent interface structure is studied.

The reactivity of the redox-active metal crown complex (BDI*)MgNaN'' (VI), formally containing a Mg centre, with phosphine chalcogenides, RPCh (Ch = O, S, Se, Te; R = Me, Et) was investigated (BDI* = HC[BuCN(DIPeP)] with DIPeP = 2,6-EtCH-phenyl). While all RPCh reagents could be reduced, only the heavier ones led to clean reduction to S, Se and Te anions which were captured in the metalla-cycle. The smaller S anion can be stabilized by the tetrametallic MgNa-crown but the larger Se and Te require a pentametallic MgNa-crown.
