Photoswitchable Ambiphilicity: Light‐Gated Frustrated Lewis Pair Reactivity and Z‐Type Interaction
Light‐controlled ambiphilicity is realized in photoswitchable intramolecular phosphorus/boron Lewis pairs. Reversible switching modulates both the thermodynamics and kinetics of frustrated Lewis‐pair reactivity, enabling light‐gated CO2 binding and release.

One‐Pot Biphasic Photocatalytic CO2‐to‐Carbonylation Cascades
Bioinspired biphasic compartmentalization enables one‐pot cascades where photocatalytic CO2 reduction generates CO for carbonylative cross‐couplings to synthesize complex organic products, including a pharmaceutical. ABSTRACT Photosynthesis compartmentalizes reactions across the thylakoid membrane in vivo to upcycle CO2 into complex chemicals that are ...

Proton‐Induced Perthionitrite‐Mediated Zinc Thiolate Persulfidation
A thiolate‐supported zinc thionitrite complex reacts with S8 to insert sulfur at both Zn–S bonds. Although SNO− persulfidation to SSNO− is facile, thiolate persulfidation is less favored in comparison. These thermodynamic differences between S–S‐containing moieties are also observed for free perthiolate and SSNO− anions.

Anion Engineering of Surface Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Light‐Assisted CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol
Anion engineering through nitrogen incorporation regulates the local coordination environment and promotes the formation of defect‐associated Ga–O/N frustrated Lewis pairs in non‐stoichiometric zinc gallium oxide. The engineered surface sites facilitate heterolytic H2 splitting, while the modified electronic structure enhances light utilization ...

Hydride addition to coinage‐metal diphosphine–borane complexes gives unprecedented Cu(I), Ag(I), and Au(I) hydridoborates featuring agostic σ(B–H)→M interactions. While, Cu and Ag derivatives are inert toward CO2, the Au analogue reversibly fixes CO2 and catalyzes its hydroboration as well as formic acid dehydrogenation through a cooperative B─H─Au ...
