    Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of two similar electrophiles (XEC) to construct C(sp2)–C(sp2) bonds is a powerful emerging synthetic methodology. However, efficient and selective XEC to create heterocoupled C*(sp2)–C(sp2) linkages from equimolar reagents while suppressing competing homocoupling, presents a synthetic challenge. Here, we describe a promising approach to address this challenge via electrocatalytic synthesis. This approach utilizes renewable and readily available electricity to replace traditional redox reagents, minimizing chemical use and chemical waste generation, while controlling the reaction pathway by the applied potential. This highly selective and general electrocatalytic eXEC process to construct C*(sp2)–C(sp2) bonds is enabled by sequential and controllable eXEC oxidative addition processes, and supported mechanistically by experiment and DFT computation. Generality and efficacy are demonstrated by more than 80 examples, including important biaryl, fluorophore, and pharmaceutical products. Notably, the stoichiometric precision of eXEC enables the first synthesis of solution-processable low polydispersity conjugated opto-electronic polymers. Therefore, this report provides a conceptually attractive method to selectively create diverse and useful C*(sp2)–C(sp2) coupled molecules and macromolecules.

    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.

    Joint photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles theory investigations indicate that the Pb-doped PbB2(BO)n−clusters (n= 0−2) undergo a transformation from σ + π doubly aromatic triangle PbB2−to PbB4(BO)2−/0complexes with a B≡B triple bond.

    Attractive London dispersion effects were found to be responsible forca.half of the dissociation energy of the thiolate ligands in the first examples of M(EAriPr6)3complexes of any metal with any donor [AriPr6= C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2].

    Abstract Careful analysis of the crystals formed in the reduction of AriPr8AlI2(AriPr8=C6H‐2,6‐(C6H2‐2,4,6‐iPr3)2‐3,5‐iPr2) with sodium on sodium chloride showed them to contain the long sought‐after dialuminene AriPr8AlAlAriPr8(1) that forms alongside the previously characterized alanediyl :AlAriPr8. The single crystal X‐ray structure of1revealed a nearly planar,trans‐bent C(ipso)AlAlC(ipso) core with an Al−Al distance of 2.648(2) Å. The molecular and electronic structure of1are consistent with an Al−Al double dative interaction augmented with diradical character and stabilized by dispersion interactions. Density functional theory calculations showed that the reactivity of :AlAriPr8with dihydrogen involves1, not :AlAriPr8, as the reactive species. In contrast, the reaction of :AlAriPr8with ethylene gave two products, the 1,4‐dialuminacyclohexane AriPr8Al(C2H4)2AlAriPr8(2) and the aluminacyclopentane AriPr8Al(C4H8) (3), that can both form from the aluminacyclopropane intermediate AriPr8Al(C2H4). Although the [2+2+2] cycloaddition of1with two equivalents of ethylene was also calculated to be exergonic, it is likely to be kinetically blocked by the numerous isopropyl substituents surrounding the Al−Al bond. Attempts to fine‐tune the steric bulk of the terphenyl ligand to allow stronger Al−Al bonding were unsuccessful, leading to the isolation of the sodium salt of a cyclotrialuminene, Na2[AlAriPr6]3(4), instead of AriPr6AlAlAriPr6.
