This study presents the synthesis and electrocatalytic performance of the cobalt(III) complex [Co3(μ1,1,1‐O)(μ1,3‐CH3CO2)(L)3]2(DMF)3 (Cotri), featuring a double deprotonated (N,O)‐donor ligand (L2‐), where the protonated form of it (H2L) is 2,2′‐(hydrazine‐1,2‐diylidenebis(ethan‐1‐yl‐1‐ylidene))diphenol. The X‐ray structure reveals a trinuclear co...

Hydrogen emerges as one of the cleanest and most renewable energy resources for fossil fuel alternatives. Commercial-scale hydrogen production through water-splitting electrocatalysis is considered a cornerstone in which electrocatalysts play a crucial role. The design of active, robust, and cost-effective electrocatalysts is an indispensable prere...

This work deals with using a waste aluminum-based TLC plate to prepare crystalline potash alum, which is subsequently activated for the study of hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline KOH. The structural and morphological characterization of the synthesized potash alum (PA) has been assessed with powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry analy...

A water-stable and structurally-characterized earth-abundant copper(II) complex, [Cu(dpa)2(N3)]Cl.4H2O containing an N,N-chelator, (dpa = 2,2'-dipyridylamine) and an ancillary ligand (N3- =azide ion) has been synthesized and evaluated for electrocatalytic H2 production...

This work highlights an interesting study on lattice-water mediated cis-trans isomerism of hydrated mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dpa)2(N3)2].xH2O (x = 1,2) containing bidentate chelatant 2,2′-dipyridyl amine (dpa) and co-ligand, azide ion (N3−) and their aggregation characteristics. A variation in the water–methanol (v/v) solvent mixture l...

This work highlights the design, synthesis, structural characterization, electrical conductivities, and hydrogen evolution activities of a new pair of hybrid 3d(Ni)-4f(Ce) block metal complex salts, [Ni(phen) 2 (NO 3)] 2 [Ce(NO 3) 6 ] (1) and [Ni(bpy) 3 ]-[Ce(NO 3) 6 ][Ce(NO 3) 2 (H 2 O) 5 ]NO 3 (2) containing phen and bpy ligands; [phen = 1,10-phe...

The coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS) are vital in metal-centered catalysis. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a unique opportunity to generate and stabilize CUS due to their robust structure. Generally, the generation of CUS in MOFs needs prior activation under heat and high vacuum to remove labile molecules occupying the catalytic site...

Scientific and industrial concern on the rational design of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has marked an escalating trend in recent years and rejuvenated. The emergence of C–N cross-coupling reactions gains huge attention for the production of nitrogen-functionalized molecules in value-added pharmaceuticals, tailor-made therapeutics, smart optoele...

Hydrazine functionalized Schiff base, 1,2-di(benzylidene)hydrazine has been synthesized through a condensation between hydrazine and benzaldehyde under reflux, and structurally characterized. The crystal structure analysis reveals that the Schiff base crystallizes in an orthorhombic crystal system with the Pbcn space group. Crystal data for C14H12N...
