Ligated hydrido-coinage-metal clusters M x H y L z (M= Cu/Ag/Au, L= ligand; where x, y, and
z are positive integers) often exhibit interesting catalytic properties, and serve as ideal …

Hydride complexes of copper, silver, and gold encompass a broad array of structures, and
their distinctive reactivity has enabled dramatic recent advances in synthesis and catalysis …

Photochemical reactivity associated with metal–hydrogen bonds is widespread among
metal hydride complexes and has played a critical part in opening up C–H bond activation. It …

While the ability to crystallize metal nanoclusters has revealed their geometric structure, the
lack of a similarly precise measure of their electronic structure has hampered the …

Metalloenzymes preorganize the reaction environment to steer substrate (s) along the
required reaction coordinate. Here, we show that phosphine ligands selectively facilitate …
