Abstract: The effects of primary and second coordination spheres on molecular electrocatalysis have been extensively studied, yet investigations of third functional spheres are rarely reported. Here we report an electrocatalyst (ZnPEG8T) with a hydrophilic channel as… read more here.

Abstract: Selective Au-C bond cleavage and arene-C-H activation in (C^N^C)Au(iii) pincer complexes are reversible, leading to a solvent-dependent proton shuttling process. The ether-free cleavage products are non-fluxional and show weak gold(iii)-arene interactions commensurate with intermediates postulated… read more here.
