A series of hybrid ligands (H 2 L 1–H 2 L 3) derived from 4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazide and
hydrazinecarbothioic acid O-alkyl esters were synthesized and characterized by NMR. The …

A new method to install a proton relay that enhances the reactivity near an active catalytic
site for H2 production is reported, afforded by the electrochemical reduction and protonation …

Alkyne semihydrogenation is a broadly important transformation in chemical synthesis.
Here, we introduce an electrochemical method for the selective semihydrogenation of …

Quantum chemical approaches today are a powerful tool to study the properties and
