Role of geochemical protoenzymes (geozymes) in primordial metabolism: specific abiotic hydride transfer by metals to the biological redox cofactor NAD+

Delfina P. Henriques Pereira et al.

Summary: Hydrogen gas generated in serpentinizing hydrothermal systems has provided energy and electrons for microbial communities. Minerals in these systems may have acted as inorganic hydride donors. Experiments show that iron, cobalt, and nickel can reduce NAD(+) to biologically relevant form in the presence of hydrogen gas, indicating a possible role of these metals in the origin of metabolism.

Modulation of the Naked-Eye and Fluorescence Color of a Protonated Boron-Doped Thiazolothiazole by Anion-Dependent Hydrogen Bonding

Stephan Hagspiel et al.

Summary: The reaction of a cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized thiazaborolo[5,4-d]thiazaborole (TzbTzb) with strong Bronsted acids results in the protonation of both TzbTzb nitrogen atoms. The coordination of counteranions or solvent molecules to the doubly protonated fused heterocycle via hydrogen-bonding interactions influences the visible and fluorescence colors of these salts. DFT calculations show that the hydrogen bonding affects the charge transfer character, enabling fine-tuning of absorption and emission spectral features.

Ligand Effects on the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalyzed by Au13 and Pt@Au12: Alkynyl vs Thiolate

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: The effects of alkynyl and thiolate ligands on the catalytic activities of Au-25 and PtAu24 nanoparticles for the hydrogen evolution reaction were studied. It was found that alkynyl ligands significantly enhanced the HER activity of Au-25, while the effect on PtAu24 was negligible.

Active-Site Tailoring of Gold Cluster Catalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Yongnan Sun et al.

Summary: Research identified reaction sites of gold nanoclusters by selectively cleaving the Au-S or C-S bonds, showing that cleaving the C-S bonds creates open sulfur sites for CO2 reduction, while breaking the Au-S bonds favors H-2 evolution. Reactivities of these reaction sites can be further tailored by derivatizing ligands, showing promise in rational design of high-performance catalysts.
