  1. Abstract Three binuclear species [LCoIII2(μ‐Pz)2](ClO4)3(1), [LNiII2(CH3OH)2Cl2]ClO4(2), and [LZnII2Cl2]PF6(3) supported by the deprotonated form of the ligand 2,6‐bis[bis(2‐pyridylmethyl) amino‐methyl]‐4‐methylphenol were synthesized, structurally characterized as solids and in solution, and had their electrochemical and spectroscopic behavior established. Species1–3had their water reduction ability studied aiming to interrogate the possible cooperative catalytic activity between two neighboring metal centers. Species1and2reduced H2O to H2effectively at an applied potential of −1.6 VAg/AgCl, yielding turnover numbers of 2,820 and 2,290, respectively, after 30 minutes. Species3lacked activity and was used as a negative control to eliminate the possibility of ligand‐based catalysis. Pre‐ and post‐catalytic data gave evidence of the molecular nature of the process within the timeframe of the experiments. Species1showed structural, rather than electronic cooperativity, while species2displayed no obvious cooperativity. DFT methods complemented the experimental results determining plausible mechanisms.

  2. Abstract We present13CO(J= 1 → 0) observations for the EDGE-CALIFA survey, which is a mapping survey of 126 nearby galaxies at a typical spatial resolution of 1.5 kpc. Using detected12CO emission as a prior, we detect13CO in 41 galaxies via integrated line flux over the entire galaxy and in 30 galaxies via integrated line intensity in resolved synthesized beams. Incorporating our CO observations and optical IFU spectroscopy, we perform a systematic comparison between the line ratio 12 / 13 I [ 12 CO ( J = 1 0 ) ] / I [ 13 CO ( J = 1 0 ) ] and the properties of the stars and ionized gas. Higher 12 / 13 values are found in interacting galaxies compared to those in noninteracting galaxies. The global 12 / 13 slightly increases with infrared colorF60/F100but appears insensitive to other host-galaxy properties such as morphology, stellar mass, or galaxy size. We also present azimuthally averaged 12 / 13 profiles for our sample up to a galactocentric radius of 0.4r25(∼6 kpc), taking into account the13CO nondetections by spectral stacking. The radial profiles of 12 / 13 are quite flat across our sample. Within galactocentric distances of 0.2r25, the azimuthally averaged 12 / 13 increases with the star formation rate. However, Spearman rank correlation tests show the azimuthally averaged 12 / 13 does not strongly correlate with any other gas or stellar properties in general, especially beyond 0.2r25from the galaxy centers. Our findings suggest that in the complex environments in galaxy disks, 12 / 13 is not a sensitive tracer for ISM properties. Dynamical disturbances, like galaxy interactions or the presence of a bar, also have an overall impact on 12 / 13 , which further complicates the interpretations of 12 / 13 variations.
