Computations with a large enzyme model describe the coordination chemistry and protein involvement that could support the proposed dissociation of S2B from FeMo-co as part of the mechanism of nitrogenase.

<p></p><p></p><p>Switchable catalysis offers opportunities to control the rate or selectivity of a reaction <i>via</i> a stimulus such as pH or light. However, few examples of switchable catalytic systems that can facilitate multiple processes exist. Here we report a rare example of such dual-functional, switchable catalysis. Featuring an easily prepared, bench-stable cobalt(I) hydride complex in conjunction with pinacolborane, we can completely alter the reaction outcome between two widely employed transformations – olefin migration and hydroboration – with visible light as the sole trigger. This dichotomy arises from ligand photodissociation which leads to metamorphosis of the active catalytic site, resulting in divergent mechanistic pathways.</p><p></p><p></p>

We report the synthesis of two isomeric Pt(II) complexes ligated by doubly deprotonated 1,1′-bis(<i>o</i>-carborane) (<b>bc</b>). This work provides a potential route to fine-tune the electronic properties of luminescent metal complexes by virtue of vertex-differentiated coordination chemistry of carborane-based ligands.
