text: C(sp2)–heteroatom couplings operating via NiI/NiIII catalysis have emerged
as an alternative to canonical Pd0/PdII systems that require complex ligand architectures.
Despite intensive research efforts during the past decade, catalytic methods employing
this approach are still mostly confined to activated starting materials and require
high catalyst loadings due to the low catalytic activity of NiI and undesired
catalyst deactivation events. This article highlights recent advances in the field
toward solving these long-standing challenges. We survey strategies that streamline
the generation of catalytically competent NiI species from bench-stable NiII precatalysts,
and discuss mechanistic studies that shed light on deactivation pathways and the
rate-determining oxidative addition of aryl halides. In the final section, we
highlight recently developed synthetic methodologies, which provide evidence that
limitations can indeed be addressed by working at elevated temperatures, employing
alternative electrophiles, harnessing the benefits of additives, or fine-tuning
the metal’s reactivity through the ligand field.

text: As a bottleneck in the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, the development
of an efficient palladium-based catalyst has garnered great attention. However,
elusive active centers and reaction mechanism issues inhibit further optimization
of its performance. In this work, advanced microkinetic modeling with the adsorbate–adsorbate
interaction and nanoparticle size effect based on first-principles calculations
is developed. A full mechanism uncovering the significance of adsorbate–adsorbate
interaction is determined on Pd nanoparticles. We demonstrate unambiguously that
Pd(100) with main coverage species of O2 and H is beneficial to H2O2 production,
being consistent with experimental operando observation, while H2O forms on Pd(111)
covered by O species and Pd(211) covered by O and OH species. Kinetic analyses
further enable quantitative estimation of the influence of temperature, pressure,
and particle size. Large-size Pd nanoparticles are found to achieve a high H2O2
reaction rate when the operating conditions are moderate temperature and higher
oxygen partial pressure. We reveal that specific facets of the Pd nanoparticles
are crucial factors for their selectivity and activity. Consistent with the experiment,
the production of H2O2 is discovered to be more favorable on Pd nanoparticles
containing Pd(100) facets. The ratio of H2/O2 induces substantial variations in
the coverage of intermediates of O2 and H on Pd(100), resulting in a change in
product selectivity.

text: The implementation of HCN-free transfer hydrocyanation reactions on laboratory
scales has recently been achieved by using HCN donor reagents under nickel- and
Lewis acid co-catalysis. More recently, malononitrile-based HCN donor reagents
were shown to undergo the C(sp3)–CN bond activation by the nickel catalyst in
the absence of Lewis acids. However, there is a lack of detailed mechanistic understanding
of the challenging C(sp3)–CN bond cleavage step. In this work, in-depth kinetic
and computational studies using alkynes as substrates were used to elucidate the
overall reaction mechanism of this transfer hydrocyanation, with a particular
focus on the activation of the C(sp3)–CN bond to generate the active H–Ni–CN transfer
hydrocyanation catalyst. Comparisons of experimentally and computationally derived
13C kinetic isotope effect data support a direct oxidative addition mechanism
of the nickel catalyst into the C(sp3)–CN bond facilitated by the coordination
of the second nitrile group to the nickel catalyst.

text: Photoredox-mediated Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings are powerful transformations
to form carbon–heteroatom bonds and are generally photocatalyzed by noble metal
complexes. Low-cost and easy-to-prepare carbon dots (CDs) are attractive quasi-homogeneous
photocatalyst alternatives, but their applicability is limited by their short
photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes. By tuning the surface and PL properties of CDs,
we designed colloidal CD nano-photocatalysts for a broad range of Ni-mediated
cross-couplings between aryl halides and nucleophiles. In particular, a CD decorated
with amino groups permitted coupling to a wide range of aryl halides and thiols
under mild, base-free conditions. Mechanistic studies suggested dynamic quenching
of the CD excited state by the Ni co-catalyst and identified that pyridinium iodide
(pyHI), a previously used additive in metallaphotocatalyzed cross-couplings, can
also act as a photocatalyst in such transformations.

text: The combination of nickel and photocatalysis has unlocked a variety of cross-couplings.
These protocols rely on a few photocatalysts that can only convert a small portion
of visible light (<500 nm) into chemical energy. The high-energy photons that
excite the photocatalyst can result in unwanted side reactions. Dyes that absorb
a much broader spectrum of light are not applicable because of their short-lived
singlet excited states. Here, we describe a self-assembling catalyst system that
overcomes this limitation. Immobilization of a nickel catalyst on dye-sensitized
titanium dioxide results in a material that catalyzes carbon–heteroatom and carbon–carbon
bond formations. The modular approach of dye-sensitized metallaphotocatalysts
accesses the entire visible light spectrum and allows tackling selectivity issues
resulting from low wavelengths strategically. The concept overcomes current limitations
of metallaphotocatalysis by unlocking the potential of dyes that were previously
unsuitable.

text: 'Bimetallic nanoparticles with tailored size and specific composition have
shown promise as stable and selective catalysts for electrochemical reduction
of CO2 (CO2R) in batch systems. Yet, limited effort was devoted to understand
the effect of ligand coverage and postsynthesis treatments on CO2 reduction, especially
under industrially applicable conditions, such as at high currents (>100 mA/cm2)
using gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) and flow reactors. In this work, Cu–Ag core–shell
nanoparticles (11 ± 2 nm) were prepared with three different surface modes: (i)
capped with oleylamine, (ii) capped with monoisopropylamine, and (iii) surfactant-free
with a reducing borohydride agent; Cu–Ag (OAm), Cu–Ag (MIPA), and Cu–Ag (NaBH4),
respectively. The ligand exchange and removal was evidenced by infrared spectroscopy
(ATR-FTIR) analysis, whereas high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy
(HAADF-STEM) showed their effect on the interparticle distance and nanoparticle
rearrangement. Later on, we developed a process-on-substrate method to track these
effects on CO2R. Cu–Ag (OAm) gave a lower on-set potential for hydrocarbon production,
whereas Cu–Ag (MIPA) and Cu–Ag (NaBH4) promoted syngas production. The electrochemical
impedance and surface area analysis on the well-controlled electrodes showed gradual
increases in the electrical conductivity and active surface area after each surface
treatment. We found that the increasing amount of the triple phase boundaries
(the meeting point for the electron–electrolyte–CO2 reactant) affect the required
electrode potential and eventually the C+2e̅/C2e̅ product ratio. This study highlights
the importance of the electron transfer to those active sites affected by the
capping agents—particularly on larger substrates that are crucial for their industrial
application.'
