The storage of hydrogen is the key technology for a sustainable future. We developed an in silico procedure, which is based on the combination of experimental and quantum-chemical methods. This method was used to evaluate energetic parameters for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions of various pyrazine derivatives as a seminal liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), that are involved in the hydrogen storage technologies. With this in silico tool, the tempo of the reliable search for suitable LOHC candidates will accelerate dramatically, leading to the design and development of efficient materials for various niche applications.

An investigation of electrolyte-assisted hydrogen storage reactions in complex aluminum hydrides (LiAlH4 and NaAlH4) reveals significantly reduced reaction times for hydrogen desorption and uptake in the presence of an electrolyte. LiAlH4 evolves ~7.8 wt% H2 over ~3 h in the presence of a Li-KBH4 eutectic at 130 °C compared to ~25 h for the same material without the electrolyte. Similarly, NaAlH4 exhibits 4.8 wt% H2 evolution over ~4 h in the presence of a diglyme electrolyte at 150 °C compared to 4.4 wt% in ~15 h for the same material without the electrolyte. These reduced reaction times are composed of two effects, an increase in reaction rates and a change in the reaction kinetics. While typical solid state dehydrogenation reactions exhibit kinetics with rates that continuously decrease with the extent of reaction, we find that the addition of an electrolyte results in rates that are relatively constant over the full desorption window. Fitting the kinetics to an Avrami-Erofe’ev model supports these observations. The desorption rate coefficients increase in the presence of an electrolyte, suggesting an increase in the velocities of the reactant-product interfaces. In addition, including an electrolyte increases the growth parameters, primarily for the second desorption steps, resulting in the observed relatively constant reaction rates. Similar effects occur upon hydrogen uptake in NaH/Al where the presence of an electrolyte enables hydrogenation under more practical low temperature (75 °C) and pressure (50 bar H2) conditions.

Slices of whole kidney and kidney cortex from the female guinea pig catalyzed a marked reduction of estrone 3-sulfate (E13S) and estrone (E1) to 17β-estradiol 3-sulfate (E23S) and 17β-estradiol (E2), respectively, as well as the reverse (dehydrogenation) reactions. Slices of medulla did not appear active in E23S–E13S interconversion but did possess the ability to interconvert E2 and E1, besides possessing considerable sulfatase activity. The use of [3H-35S]E13S and [3H-35S]E23S as substrates, together with a demonstrated lack of estrogen sulfate synthesis by the tissue slices, provided ample evidence that the intact sulfates were involved in direct oxidoreduction. Slices of human kidney cortex catalyzed the reduction of E13S to a very limited extent. Slices of whole kidney and of cortex from guinea pig formed small amounts of estrogen glucuronide(s).

The Mallory (photocyclization) and Scholl (thermal cyclohydrogenation) reactions are widely used in the synthesis of extended conjugated π systems of high scientific interest and technological importance, including molecular wires, semiconducting polymers, and nanographenes. While simple electrocyclization reactions obey the Woodward-Hoffman rules, no such simple, general, and powerful model is available for eliminative cyclization reactions due to their increased mechanistic complexity. In this work, detailed mechanistic investigations of prototypical reactions reveal that there is no single rate-determining step for thermal oxidative dehydrogenation reactions, but they are very sensitive to the presence and distribution of heteroatoms around the photocyclizing ring system. Key aspects of reactivity are correlated to the constituent ring oxidation potentials. For photocyclization reactions, planarization occurs readily and/or spontaneously following photo-excitation, and is promoted by heteroatoms within 5-membered ring adjacent to the photocyclizing site. Oxidative photocyclization requires intersystem crossing to proceed to products, while reactants configured to undergo purely eliminative photocyclization could proceed to products entirely in the excited state. Overall, oxidative photocyclization seems to strike the optimal balance between synthetic convenience (ease of preparation of reactants, mild conditions, tolerant to chemical diversity in reactants) and favourable kinetic and thermodynamic properties.

ABSTRACTZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal reduction approach. A considerable amount of α-Fe2O3 was segregated in the as-synthesized sample, which diffused into the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the ZnFe2O4 spinel structure with increasing the annealing temperature. The introduction of Fe3+ into the tetrahedral positions was observed by Mössbauer spectra. Magnetization measurements showed an unusual ferrimagnetic behavior of the ZnFe2O4 phase, even at room temperature, confirming the introduction of Fe3+ into the tetrahedral sites of the spinel structure. Catalytic activity measured in the oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-butene reaction increased with increasing annealing temperature, indicating that those interactions of Fe3+ in tetrahedral and octahedral positions also promotes the activity and selectivity to butadiene formation.
