Abstract In this article, Lewis acid–base complex of lithium 12-hydroxystearate (LHS) with diboron compound is formed by the introduction of bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2Pin2) into lithium grease. The interaction between Lewis acid B2Pin2 and Lewis base RCO2− of LHS is characterized by various techniques. Moreover, the rheological and tribological behaviors of the base grease are evaluated at low and moderate temperature, and the results indicate that the addition of B2Pin2 noticeably enhanced the rheological, friction-reducing, and anti-wear (AW) properties of the base grease, which likely owing to the fact that the formation of Lewis acid–base complex is beneficial for improving the soap fiber structure strength, helping to prevent the mechanical degradation of the lithium grease during mechanical aging process.

Redox Active

The hydrogen evolution reaction, as catalyzed by two electrocatalysts [M(N2S2)·Fe(NO)2]+, [Fe-Fe]+ (M = Fe(NO)) and [Ni-Fe]+ (M = Ni) was investigated by computational chemistry. As nominal models of hydrogenase active sites, these bimetallics feature two kinds of actor ligands: Hemilabile, MN2S2 ligands and redox-active, nitrosyl ligands, whose interplay guides the H2 production mechanism. The requisite base and metal open site are masked in the resting state but revealed within the catalytic cycle by cleavage of the MS–Fe(NO)2 bond from the hemilabile metallodithiolate ligand. Introducing two electrons and two protons to [Ni-Fe]+ produces H2 from coupling a hydride temporarily stored on Fe(NO)2 (Lewis acid) and a proton accommodated on the exposed sulfur of the MN2S2 thiolate (Lewis base). This Lewis acid–base pair is initiated and preserved by disrupting the dative donation through protonation on the thiolate or reduction on the thiolate-bound metal. Either manipulation modulates the electron density of the pair to prevent it from reestablishing the dative bond. The electron-buffering nitrosyl’s role is subtler as a bifunctional electron reservoir. With more nitrosyls as in [Fe-Fe]+, accumulated electronic space in the nitrosyls’ π*-orbitals makes reductions easier, but redirects the protonation and reduction to sites that postpone the actuation of the hemilability. Additionally, two electrons donated from two nitrosyl-buffered irons, along with two external electrons, reduce two protons into two hydrides, from which reductive elimination generates H2.

UiO-67-bpydc-Zn with isolated multi-catalytic active sites was fabricated as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate as a DNA model. The enhanced activity may likely be attributed to the cooperation effects between the Lewis acid from the zirconium center at the node and the zinc hydroxide Lewis base in the linkers.

Quantum mechanical methods were adopted to study the surface reaction mechanisms of 1, 3-cyclohexadiene and acrylonitrile on the Si(100)-2x1 surface. According to the computed potential energy surfaces, both ⌊4+2⌋ and ⌊2+2⌋ cycloaddition products resulting from the reactions of surface dimers are possible due to the negligible activation barriers at the surface. Isomerization reactions among the surface products are very unlikely due to the predicted large activation barriers preventing thermal redistributions of the surface products. As a result, the distribution of the final surface products is kinetically controlled leading to a reinterpretation of recent experiments. An intermediate Lewis acid-base type complex appears in both the ⌊4+2⌋ and ⌊2+2⌋ cycloadditions of acrylonitrile entrance channels, indicating that the surface may act as an electrophile/Lewis acid towards a strong Lewis base substrate.

The interaction between Lewis acid B2Pin2 and Lewis base RCO2− of LHS is characterized by various techniques. Moreover, the rheological and tribological behaviors of the base grease are evaluated at low and moderate temperature. The results indicate that the addition of B2Pin2 can noticeably enhance the rheological property of the base grease because the formation of Lewis acid–base complex is beneficial for improving the soap fiber structure strength, and B2Pin2 could also help reduce the friction and wear of the grease during the sliding process, which likely owing to the boundary lubrication film generated by B2Pin2 adsorption on the rubbing surface and tribochemical reaction between borate esters and steel surfaces. The improvement of mechanical stability and tribological properties is beneficial to increasing the grease service life. Graphical Abstract
