Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Guilin University of Technology Reports Findings in Science (Unveiling a unique outer-sphere pathway in manganese-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation reaction)

Article Description
First-row transition metals are widely used in acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions, making the detailed investigation of their catalytic mechanisms crucial for the rational design of efficient catalysts. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to explore the mechanism of an acceptorless dehydrogenation reaction catalyzed by a bifunctional complex based on a high-spin Mn(ii) center. The computational results reveal that the Mn(ii) catalyst follows a novel dehydrogenation pathway, where the external base KOH first coordinates to the metal center, and dehydrogenation proceeds via an outer-sphere mechanism. The hydride transfer step is identified as the rate-determining step, with an energy barrier of 26.3 kcal mol, consistent with experimental results. To further investigate the selectivity of the mechanism, energy decomposition analysis (EDA) and extended transition state-natural orbitals for chemical valence (ETS-NOCV) analysis were conducted on key transition states. The results show that the small steric hindrance and strong orbital interactions of the external base KOH are the key factors contributing to the selectivity of this mechanism. These findings not only deepen our understanding of the reaction mechanism but also provide valuable theoretical insights for the design and optimization of future acceptorless dehydrogenation catalysts.
