Towards [NiFe]-hydrogenase biomimetic models that couple H2 binding with functionally relevant intramolecular electron transfers: a quantum chemical study

Dalton Trans. , 2013, Accepted Manuscript

DOI: 10.1039/C3DT50836F, Paper

Claudio Greco

[FeFe]- and [NiFe]-hydrogenases are dihydrogen-evolving metalloenzymes that share striking structural and functional similarities, despite being phylogenetically unrelated. Most notably, they are able to combine substrate binding and redox functionalities, which...

A Robust Nickel Catalyst for Cyanomethylation of Aldehydes: Activation of Acetonitrile under Base-Free Conditions

A Robust Nickel Catalyst for Cyanomethylation of Aldehydes: Activation of Acetonitrile under Base-Free Conditions: Thumbnail image of graphical abstract
Nick of time: The nickel cyanomethyl complex 1 catalyzes the room temperature coupling of aldehydes with acetonitrile under base-free conditions. The catalytic system is long-lived and remarkably efficient with high turnover numbers (TONs) and turnover frequencies (TOFs) achieved. The mild reaction conditions allow a wide variety of aldehydes, including base-sensitive ones, to catalytically react with acetonitrile.

Catalytic Hydrogen Oxidation: Dawn of a New Iron Age

Catalytic Hydrogen Oxidation: Dawn of a New Iron Age: Thumbnail image of graphical abstract
One metal or two? Recent results in the design of hydrogenase mimics have resulted in NiFe- and Fe-based complexes (see picture) that split molecular H2 into electrons and protons. Although these compounds are still far from technological application they improve our understanding of how nature exploits abundant metals to achieve complex reactions.
