The vibrational frequencies of “dangling” water O─H bonds can be determined by Raman hydration‐ shell spectroscopy and used to differentiate chaotropes from kosmotropes and hydrophobes. Dangling O─H bonds are also detected around superchaotropic anions of the borate cluster type (B12X122−; X = H, F, Cl, Br, and I) but their frequencies do not directly ...

1,7‐Digallatetracarborane: Between Nucleophilic closo‐Cluster and “Inverse Sandwich” Digallylene
A dianionic π‐ligand is used to make a Janus‐type twofold complex with low‐valent gallium Ga(+I). The resulting compound can be seen as and reveals the reactivity of both: a Wade‐type closo‐carborane cluster with nucleophilic Ga‐sites, as well as π‐ligand stabilized Ga(I) atoms in an inverse sandwich compound.

Nucleophilic Gallyl Anions Enable Ga─Au Bimetallic Ammonia Activation
Unlocking gallyl nucleophiles: Counterion control enables formation of an unsupported gallyl─gold complex. Gold coordination induces a polarity switch at gallium, enabling cooperative activation of NH3 and related N─H/O─H substrates under mild conditions.

Potassium‐Ligand Cooperation Facilitated Chemical Bond Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation
A new strategy for alkali metal‐mediated catalysis based on metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) is presented. Potassium pincer complexes exhibit remarkable reactivity toward a range of molecules via an unprecedented potassium–ligand cooperative mechanism. This reactivity enables potassium‐catalyzed hydrogenation, providing efficient reduction of ketones and

Coordination‐Driven Direct C─H Metalation of N‐Heterocycles With a Superbasic Co(II) Amide Co(TMP)2
By enabling regioselectivities that are inaccessible with conventional bases, this study introduces a Co(II) amide platform for the deprotonative C─H metalation of sensitive N‐heterocycles. Subsequent interception of the resulting Co(II) intermediates with external oxidants affords a family of sterically congested, TMP‐substituted heterocycles via C─N ...

Cobalt‐Catalyzed Radical Ligand Transfer (RLT) Enables Remote‐Markovnikov Hydroamination of Alkenes
A cobalt‐catalyzed remote‐Markovnikov 1,3‐hydroamination of allyl carboxylates proceeds through MHAT, 1,2‐radical acyloxy migration (1,2‐RAM), and radical ligand transfer (RLT) from a Co‐N intermediate, providing protected amino alcohols. ABSTRACT Amino alcohols are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials, yet ...

This work establishes a laterally homogeneous organic–inorganic hybrid interphase for soft‐short‐free anode‐free sodium metal batteries under extended cycling at high current density and high plating capacity. In contrast to conventional strategies that evolve into laterally heterogeneous interphases and induce localized Na filament growth, the pDFHA ...

Controlling the Guanidinium Cation Rotation by Cation–π Interactions
A lanthanide π‐container has been employed to trap a guanidinium cation inside the aromatic cavity by cation–π interactions. X‐ray crystallography and solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at fast magic‐angle spinning (MAS) frequencies have been utilized to probe the underlying host–guest interactions.
