  2. 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.

  3. We report on spectroscopic measurements on the 4f76s28S7/2−4f7(8S)6s6p(1P)8P5/2,7/2transitions at 466.32 nm and 462.85 nm, respectively, in neutral europium-151 and europium-153. The center of gravity frequencies for the 151 and 153 isotopes for both transitions are reported for the first time using saturated absorption spectroscopy. For the 6s6p(1P)8P5/2state, the center of gravity frequencies were found to be 642,894,493.3(4) MHz and 642,891,693.3(9) MHz for the 151 and 153 isotopes, respectively. The hyperfine constants for the upper state were found to beA(151)=−157.01(3)MHz,B(151)=74.5(4)MHz andA(153)=−69.43(14)MHz,B(153)=191.0(26)MHz. These hyperfine values are all consistent with previously published results except forB(151) that has a small discrepancy. The isotope shift was found to be 2799.54(20) MHz, a small discrepancy with previously published results. For the 6s6p(1P)8P7/2state, the center of gravity frequencies were found to be 647,708,930.6(6) MHz and 647,705,958.4(26) MHz for the 151 and 153 isotopes, respectively. The hyperfine constants for the upper state were found to beA(151)=−218.66(4)MHz,B(151)=−293.4(8)MHz andA(153)=−97.15(13)MHz,B(153)=−750(3)MHz. These values are all consistent with previously published results except forA(151) that has a small discrepancy. The isotope shift was found to be 2972.8(5) MHz, a small discrepancy with previously measured results.
