Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

Impact of Organo‐Functionalization on the Light‐Driven Hydrogen Evolution Reactivity of Molecular Molybdenum Sulfides

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Organo‐functionalized molecular molybdenum sulfides were synthesized using bidentate N‐donor ligands and investigated as light‐driven homogeneous hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. Trends observed in the HER activity of these catalysts were elucidated by combining photophysical, electrochemical and computational studies.
