The iron-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes undergoes two potential energy surfaces, the triplet (red) and quintet (blue) states, where the spin crossover effectively lowers the reaction energy ...

From a spin state perspective, metal complex catalysts are classified into two types: closed-shell catalysts (lacking unpaired electrons, typically based on noble metals like palladium) and open-shell ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...
