Beyond Formate Trapping: A Mechanistic Framework for Homogeneous CO2‐to‐Methanol Conversion With First‐Row Transition Metals

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review shows that converting CO2 into methanol with catalysts based on abundant first‐row metals requires more than overcoming formate formation. Success depends on balancing hydrogen activation, intermediate reactivity, product release, and catalyst stability.

Mechanochemical Defluorination of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) With Base Metals

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mechanochemically reacts with safe‐to‐handle, abundant, and inexpensive base metals Zn and Al, as well as with metals like Cd and Pb, to produce sp2‐carbon and industrially important metal fluorides. The reactivity presents PTFE as a mechanochemical fluorination agent, with opportunities for closed‐loop reductive ...

Active‐Site Photothermal Energy Utilization in PET Depolymerization

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photothermal catalysis enables efficient PET depolymerization, yet the role of active‐site temperature remains unclear. A catalytic activity reversal between Pd–CNG and PdPOM–CNG is observed under thermal and photothermal conditions. Efficient nanoscale photothermal energy delivery raises active‐site temperature, compensates for lower intrinsic ...

Lanthanide Separation via Selective Precipitation Under Neutral Aqueous Conditions With a Functionalized EDTA Chelator

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An organic‐solvent‐free approach for efficient recovery of Nd from waste hard‐disk drive NdFeB magnets is achieved via selective precipitation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) substituted by hydrophobic cs‐124, under neutral conditions. Three precipitation cycles lead to 99.7% Nd puritywith 77% recovery yield; the chelator is simply recycled
