Stereoselective production of alkenes from the alkyne hydrogenation plays a crucial role in the chemical industry. However, for heterogeneous metal catalysts, the olefins in cis-configuration are usually dominant in the products due to the most important and common Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism involved over the metal surface. In this work, through combined theoretical and experimental investigations, we demonstrate a novel isomerization mechanism mediated by the frustrated hydrogen atoms via the H2 dissociation at the defect on solid surface, which can lead to the switch in selectivity from the cis-configuration to trans-configuration without overhydrogenation. The defective Rh2S3 with exposing facet of (110) exhibits outstanding performance as a heterogeneous metal catalyst for stereoselective production of trans-olefins. With the frustrated hydrogen atoms at spatially separated high-valence Rh sites, the isolated hydrogen mediated cis-to-trans isomerization of olefins can be effectively conducted and the overhydrogenation can be completely inhibited. Furthermore, the bifunctional Rh-S/Pd nanosheets have been synthesized through the surface modification of Pd nanosheets with rhodium and sulfide. With the selective semihydrogenation of alkynes into cis-olefins catalyzed by the small surface PdSx ensembles, the bifunctional Rh-S/Pd nanosheets exhibit excellent activity and stereoselectivity in the one-pot alkyne hydrogenation into trans-olefin, which surpasses the most reported homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.

Olefins are prevalent substrates and functionalities. The synthesis of olefins from readily available starting materials such as alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids is of great significance to address the sustainability concerns in organic synthesis. Metallaphotoredox-catalyzed defunctionalizations were reported to achieve such transformations under mild conditions. However, all these valuable strategies require a transition metal catalyst, a ligand or an expensive photocatalyst, with the challenges of controlling the region- and stereoselectivities remaining. Herein, we present a fundamentally distinct strategy enabled by electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, for the selective synthesis of olefins from these simple and easily available starting materials. The conversions took place via photoactivation of the EDA complexes of the activated substrates with alkali salts, followed by hydrogen atom elimination from in situ generated alkyl radicals. This method is operationally simple and straightforward and free of photocatalysts and transition-metals, and shows high regio- and stereoselectivities.
