An electron bridge strategy is developed to regulate charge polarization in Pd1 and Ni1 dual single‐atom sites, promoting CO2 reduction, nitrate reduction, and C–N coupling simultaneously. The resulting catalyst achieves efficient urea electrosynthesis with high activity and record durability over 1700 h.

Heavy‐Atom Tunneling at Room Temperature Revealed by Instanton Theory
Usually, tunneling does not play a significant role in chemical reactions except at low temperature, especially when heavy atoms are involved. However, using nonadiabatic instanton theory we find that heavy‐atom tunneling dominates the reaction mechanism for spin‐forbidden processes in the synthesis of strained organic molecules even at room ...

Isolated Sn sites on Cu(111) induce a highly asymmetric charge distribution, which promotes water dissociation, accelerates key intermediate hydrogenation, and suppresses competing hydrogen evolution. As a result, SnCu111 delivers NH3 Faradaic efficiencies above 90% over an 800 mV potential window and enables stable direct solar power‐driven NH3 ...

Cobalt‐Catalyzed C─N Bond Formation via Metal‐Hydride Hydrogen Atom Transfer (MHAT)
Cobalt‐catalyzed metal‐hydride hydrogen atom transfer (Co‐MHAT) converts simple alkenes into C─N bonds under mild, near‐neutral conditions. A shared Co─H‐initiated radical/organocobalt intermediate is channeled into radical trapping, radical‐polar crossover, or radical ligand transfer, unifying hydroamination, hydroazidation, hydroamidation, and remote

Hydration‐Gated Photoinduced Electron Transfer in BODIPY Dyes
Hydration switches photoinduced electron transfer (PET) ON in alkoxy‐coordinated BODIPY dyes via specific hydrogen bonding. This gating yields a fluorescence lifetime span of ∼6 ns, enabling fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) contrast in live cells and organoids. ABSTRACT Fluorescent probes based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) are

High‐resolution proton detection is preserved under cryogenic dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) by combining fast MAS, extensive deuteration and selective methyl protonation. This strategy enables proton‐detected structural studies of biomolecular solids with enhanced sensitivity under DNP conditions.

This study demonstrates that indium clusters with 6s2 lone‐pair effect anchored on carbon nitride act as excitonic electron reservoirs to boost charge separation and O2 activation for highly selective direct 2e− oxygen reduction. This work establishes cluster‐mediated electron reservoir engineering as a general strategy for enhancing selective ...

Pt@Cu/CuO heterostructures were designed for electrochemical N─N coupling of 3,5‐diamino‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole. Mechanism investigation revealed that the Pt sites mediated co‐adsorption of substrates and hydroxyl on Cu/CuO sites. The elaborate Pt@Cu/CuO achieved an ultralow working potential of 0.832 VRHE with a high FE of 95%. A long‐term stability of 600

Efficient photocatalytic nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion is achieved over an atomically precise Cu4I4 motif through dual‐site cooperation. Lewis‐acidic Cu centers promote nitrate adsorption and activation, while adjacent I sites facilitate active hydrogen generation for stepwise hydrogenation.

Mesopore geometry programs the working‐state interface of Fe single sites during nitrate electroreduction. Hexagonal channels reorganize interfacial water and accompany the reversible evolution of isolated Fe─O4‐like sites toward Fe─O─Fe‐like motifs, promoting successive hydrogenation toward NH3 with a Faradaic efficiency of 99.1%.
