<p>Supporting Information for article. </p> <p>Earth-abundant first row transition metal corrole complexes have played an important role in fundamental research due to their unique molecular structures and attractive properties. In comparison to porphyrins, corroles have three inner N-H protons and are ring-contracted with a smaller macrocyclic cavity. First row transition metal corroles have been widely used as effective electrochemical catalysts for small molecule activations, such as hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction/evolution and CO2 reduction reactions (HERs, ORRs/OERs and CO2 RRs) through homogenous and/or heterogenous prodecures. Several strategies have been used to modulate the catalytic efficiency of synthetic metallocorroles.</p>

The layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and transition metal phosphides are low-cost, earth-abundant, and robust electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Integrating them into hybrid nanostructures is potentially promising to further boost the catalytic activity toward HER based on their synergistic effects. Herein, we report a general method for the synthesis of a series of MoSe2-based hybrid nanostructures, including MoSe2-Ni2P, MoSe2-Co2P, MoSe2-Ni, MoSe2-Co, and MoSe2-NiS, by postgrowth of Ni2P, Co2P, Ni, Co, and NiS nanostructures on the presynthesized MoSe2 nanosheet-assembled nanospheres, respectively, via a colloidal synthesis method. As a proof-of-concept application, the as-synthesized hybrid nanostructures are used as electrocatalysts for HER, exhibiting high activity and stability in acidic media. Among them, the MoSe2-Co2P composite shows the highest HER activity with an overpotential of 167 mV at 10 mA cm-2.

An efficient and straightforward protocol to complex indene-based polycyclic compounds via the cascade cyclization of propargylic alcohols and alkenes was developed. The catalyst FeCl3, as an Earth-abundant and environment friendly transition metal salt, is attractive. This reaction proceeded through unusual C–C bond cleavage.
