The development of homogeneous first–row transition metal (FRTM) catalysts for the water oxidation reaction is considerably more challenging than second and third-row catalysts. Given that FRTM are, in general, labile, additional design principles must be considered to develop robust stable reaction. In this review, we highlight important criteria summarize lessons learned

In this article, in order to demonstrate the pragmatic elements of Rawls’s viewpoint, the developmental path of his A Theory of Justice shall first be investigated. This development has two phases: In the first phase, justice has an ethical-philosophical basis. In A Theory of Justice, this phase is specifically shown under the title of theory of justice. In the second phase, justice has no phil...

Sequences of basis sets that systematically converge towards the complete basis set (CBS) limit have been developed for the first-row transition metal elements Sc-Zn. Two families of basis sets, nonrelativistic and Douglas-Kroll-Hess (-DK) relativistic, are presented that range in quality from triple-zeta to quintuple-zeta. Separate sets are developed for the description of valence (3d4s) elect...

The dramatic differences between the properties of molecules formed from the late p-block elements of the first row of the periodic table (N-F) and those of the corresponding elements in subsequent rows is well recognized as the first row anomaly. Certain properties of the atoms, such as the relative energies and spatial extents of the ns and np orbitals, can explain some of these differences, ...
