Carbon-Fluorine (C-F) bonds are considered the most inert organic functionality and their selective transformation under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly active Pt-Pd nanoalloy as a robust catalyst for the transformation of C-F bonds into C-H bonds at low temperature, a reaction that often required harsh conditions. The alloying of Pt with Pd is crucial to activate C-F bond. The reaction profile kinetics revealed that the major source of hydrogen in the defluorinated product is the alcoholic proton of 2-propanol, and the rate-determining step is the reduction of the metal upon transfer of the <i>beta</i>-H from 2-propanol. DFT calculations elucidated that the key step is the selective oxidative addition of the O-H bond of 2-propanol to a Pd center prior to C-F bond activation at a Pt site, which crucially reduces the activation energy of the C-F bond. Therefore, both Pt and Pd work independently but synergistically to promote the overall reaction

<p>To mitigate global problems related to energy and global warming, it is helpful to develop an ammonia synthesis process using catalysts that are highly active under mild conditions. Here we show that the ammonia synthesis activity of Ru/Ba/LaCeO<i><sub>x</sub></i> pre-reduced at 700 °C is the highest reported among oxide-supported Ru catalysts. Our results indicate that low crystalline oxygen-deficient composite oxides, which include Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Ce<sup>3+</sup> and La<sup>3+</sup>, with strong electron-donating ability, accumulate on Ru particles and thus promote N≡N bond cleavage, which is the rate determining step for ammonia synthesis.</p>

<div>The synthesis and characterization of an iridium polyhydride complex (Ir-H4)</div><div>supported by an electron-rich PCP framework is described. This complex readily loses molecular</div><div>hydrogen allowing for rapid room temperature hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) at the hydridic</div><div>positions and the α-C-H site of the ligand with deuterated solvents such as benzene-d6, toluene-d8</div><div>and THF-d8. The removal of 1-2 equivalents of molecular H2 forms unsaturated iridium carbene</div><div>trihydride (Ir-H3) or monohydride (Ir-H) compounds that are able to create further unsaturation</div><div>by reversibly transferring a hydride to the ligand carbene carbon. These species are highly active</div><div>hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) catalysts using C6D6 or D2O as deuterium sources for the</div><div>deuteration of a variety of substrates. By modifying conditions to influence the Ir-Hn speciation,</div><div>deuteration levels can range from near exhaustive to selective only for sterically accessible sites.</div><div>Preparative level deuterations of select substrates were performed allowing for procurement of</div><div>>95% deuterated compounds in excellent isolated yields; the catalyst can be regenerated by</div><div>treatment of residues with H2 and is still active for further reactions.</div>
