Abstract
The pre-transmetalation intermediates are critically important in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions and have become a hot spot of the current research. However, the pre-transmetalation intermediates under base-free conditions have not been clear. Herein, a comprehensive theoretical study is performed on the base-free Pd-catalyzed desulfonative SMC reaction. The fragile coordination feature and the acceleration role of the RuPhos chelate ligand are revealed. The hydrogen-bond complex between the Pd-F complex and aryl boronic acid is identified as an important pre-transmetalation intermediate, which increases the energy span to 32.5 kcal/mol. The controlling factor for the formation of the hydrogen-bond complexes is attributed to the electronegativities of halogen atoms in the metal halide complexes. What is more, other reported SMC reaction systems involving metal halide complexes and aryl boronic acids are reconsidered and suggest that the hydrogen-bond complexes widely exist as stable pre-transmetalation intermediates with influencing the catalytic activities. The earth-abundant Ni-catalyzed desulfonative SMC reaction is further designed and predicted to have a higher activity than the original Pd-catalyzed SMC reaction.

Abstract
The metal-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of polymers is important in waste recycling; however, it is limited by the harsh reaction conditions and the low activities of catalysts, especially for earth-abundant metal-based catalysts. Herein, we perform a comprehensive study on the hydrogenolysis of polyurethane model catalyzed by Fe-, Mn-, Ru-, and Ir-iPrMACHO pincer complexes and propose a cascade mechanism comprising two-level hydrogenolysis and the hydrogenation of formaldehyde. In addition, the substrates and ligands are modulated to improve the activities of chemical recycling to monomer. It is found that the pincer ligands could dissociate from the metal centers at high reaction temperatures and further result in the deactivation of catalysts. The rigid Fe and Mn catalysts with tetradentate cyclic ligands are designed following the guidance, and the computations suggest that those designed catalysts could have high stabilities and activities.
