This tutorial review showcases recent (2015–2021) work describing ligand construction as it
relates to the design of secondary coordination spheres (SCSs). Metalloenzymes, for …

Electrocatalysis enables the formation or cleavage of chemical bonds by a genuine use of
electrons or holes from an electrical energy input. As such, electrocatalysis offers resource …

The ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and propene oxide is a useful means
to valorize waste into commercially attractive poly (propylene carbonate)(PPC) polyols. The …

Electric fields underlie all reactions and impact reactivity by interacting with the dipoles and
net charges of transition states, products, and reactants to modify the free energy landscape …

Next-generation energy technologies require improved methods for rapid and efficient
chemical-to-electrical energy transformations. One new approach has been to include …

Despite decades of effort, no earth-abundant homogeneous catalysts have been discovered
that can selectively oxidize methane to methanol. We exploit active learning to …

The electrocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction is greatly enhanced for Co complexes with
pyridyldiimine-based ligands through the stepwise integration of three synergistic …

The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising strategy for converting
CO2 to fuels and value-added chemicals using renewable energy sources. Molecular …

The power of oriented electrostatic fields (ESFs) to influence chemical bonding and reactivity
is a phenomenon of rapidly growing interest. The presence of strong ESFs has recently …

Transition metal complexes that incorporate crown ethers into the supporting ligands have
emerged as a powerful class of catalysts capable of cation-tunable reactivity. Cations held in …
