Understanding carbon dioxide activation and carbon–carbon coupling over nickel

Carbon dioxide is a desired feedstock for platform molecules, such as carbon monoxide and higher hydrocarbons, but needs improved catalysts. Here, the authors use a combined theoretical and experimental approach to tune the activity and selectivity of CO₂ conversion over nickel towards desired products.

Efficient conversion of syngas to linear α-olefins by phase-pure χ-Fe₅C₂

When used in its phase-pure form, iron carbide catalyses the conversion of syngas to linear α-olefins with high activity and selectivity under industrially relevant conditions.

Water-use efficiency and transpiration across European forests during the Anthropocene

Considering the combined effects of CO₂ fertilization and climate change drivers on plant physiology leads to a modest increase in simulated European forest transpiration in spite of the effects of CO₂-induced stomatal closure.

Ortho-functionalized pyridinyl-tetrazines break the inverse correlation between click reactivity and cleavage yields in click-to-release chemistry

The bioorthogonal tetrazine-triggered cleavage of trans-cyclooctene-linked payloads has strong potential in click-to-release drug delivery, however, an inverse correlation between click reactivity and payload release yield is hampering their clinical translation. Here, the authors develop ortho-substituted bis-pyridinyl-tetrazines with hydrogen-bonding hydroxyl or amido groups for efficient tautomerization and payload elimination, achieving release yields of 96% with 18-fold more reactive tetrazines.

Stability of heterogeneous single-atom catalysts: a scaling law mapping thermodynamics to kinetics

A rapid screening approach is developed to access the stability of single-atom catalysts based on the binding energy of the metal atom to the support and the cohesive energy of the bulk metal.
