Abstract
Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) demonstrate promising potential in the photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 owing to favorable light absorption, superior charge separation, and considerable surface area. However, the efficiency of H2O2 photosynthesis is impeded by insufficient O2 [...] Read more.
Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) demonstrate promising potential in the photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 owing to favorable light absorption, superior charge separation, and considerable surface area. However, the efficiency of H2O2 photosynthesis is impeded by insufficient O2 adsorption sites and a high reaction barrier. In this work, various metal single atoms (Fe, Co, Ni) are introduced onto covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) with N-N coordination sites to significantly enhance O2 adsorption and optimize H2O2 synthesis. Computational findings suggest that the presence of Fe, Co, and Ni not only enhances O2 adsorption but also exerts an influence on the reaction pathway of H2O2. Significantly, Fe exhibits a distinct advantage in modulating O2 adsorption through its unique electron spin state when compared to Co and Ni, as confirmed by crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) analysis. Additionally, this integration of metal atoms also improves light absorption and charge separation in CTFs. The study provides strategic insight into elevating H2O2 production by incorporating tailored metal single atoms into COFs. Full article

Since the discovery of classical chiral oxazoline ferrocene ligands in 1995, they have become pivotal in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations. Over the past decade, a notable evolution has been observed with the emergence of siloxane-substituted oxazoline ferrocenes, demonstrating significant potential as chiral ligands and catalysts. These compounds have consistently delivered exceptional results in diverse and mechanistically distinct transformations, surpassing the capabilities of classical oxazoline ferrocene ligands. This review meticulously delineates the research progress on siloxane-substituted oxazoline ferrocene compounds. It encompasses the synthesis of crucial precursors and desired products, highlights their achievements in asymmetric catalysis reactions, and delves into the exploration of the derivatization of these compounds, emphasizing the introduction of ionophilic groups and their impact on the recovery of transition metal catalysts. In addition to presenting the current state of knowledge, this review propels future research directions by identifying potential topics for further investigation concerning the siloxane-tagged derivatives. These derivatives are poised to be promising candidates for the next generation of highly efficient ligands and catalysts. Full article
