Activation by oxidation and ligand exchange in a molecular manganese vanadium oxide water oxidation catalyst.

Project description:Despite their technological importance for water splitting, the reaction mechanisms of most water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) are poorly understood. This paper combines theoretical and experimental methods to reveal mechanistic insights into the reactivity of the highly active molecular manganese vanadium oxide WOC [Mn4V4O17(OAc)3]3- in aqueous acetonitrile solutions. Using density functional theory together with electrochemistry and IR-spectroscopy, we propose a sequential three-step activation mechanism including a one-electron oxidation of the catalyst from [Mn2 3+Mn2 4+] to [Mn3+Mn3 4+], acetate-to-water ligand exchange, and a second one-electron oxidation from [Mn3+Mn3 4+] to [Mn4 4+]. Analysis of several plausible ligand exchange pathways shows that nucleophilic attack of water molecules along the Jahn-Teller axis of the Mn3+ centers leads to significantly lower activation barriers compared with attack at Mn4+ centers. Deprotonation of one water ligand by the leaving acetate group leads to the formation of the activated species [Mn4V4O17(OAc)2(H2O)(OH)]- featuring one H2O and one OH ligand. Redox potentials based on the computed intermediates are in excellent agreement with electrochemical measurements at various solvent compositions. This intricate interplay between redox chemistry and ligand exchange controls the formation of the catalytically active species. These results provide key reactivity information essential to further study bio-inspired molecular WOCs and solid-state manganese oxide catalysts.

Stable Non-Covalent Co(Salphen)-Based Polymeric Catalyst for Highly Efficient and Selective Oxidation of 2,3,6-Trimethylphenol.

Project description:Developing highly efficient catalyst systems for phenol-quinone transformation is of great significance in the chemical/biological industries. Herein, we reported a novel heterogenous catalytic system based on Co(Salphen) supramolecular polymers (CSP), which delivered an excellent catalytic performance in the oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol (TMP) under mild conditions. The CSP were constructed through a simple self-assembled process between BiCo(Salphen) complex and 4,4-dipyridine. By applying BiCo-BiPy1:1 CSP as the catalyst, 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (TMBQ) could be obtained with an excellent conversion (>99%) and selectivity over 99% under mild reaction conditions (30 °C, 0.1 MPa). In addition, it can be recycled at least five times without substantial decline in catalytic activities (conversion and selectivity), suggesting its excellent stability and recyclability. This work may provide guidance on designing and building valuable catalysts for environmentally friendly and cost-effective oxidation reactions.

Highly Dispersed RuOOH Nanoparticles on Silica Spheres: An Efficient Photothermal Catalyst for Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol.

Project description:Photothermal catalysis represents a promising strategy to utilize the renewable energy source (e.g., solar energy) to drive chemical reactions more efficiently. Successful and efficient photothermal catalysis relies on the availability of ideal photothermal catalysts, which can provide both large areas of catalytically active surface and strong light absorption power simultaneously. Such duplex requirements of a photothermal catalyst exhibit opposing dependence on the size of the catalyst nanoparticles, i.e., smaller size is beneficial for achieving higher surface area and more active surface, whereas larger size favors the light absorption in the nanoparticles. In this article, we report the synthesis of ultrafine RuOOH nanoparticles with a size of 2-3 nm uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of silica (SiOx) nanospheres of hundreds of nanometers in size to tackle this challenge of forming an ideal photothermal catalyst. The ultrasmall RuOOH nanoparticles exhibit a large surface area as well as the ability to activate adsorbed molecular oxygen. The SiOx nanospheres exhibit strong surface light scattering resonances to enhance the light absorption power of the small RuOOH nanoparticles anchored on the SiOx surface. Therefore, the RuOOH/SiOx composite particles represent a new class of efficient photothermal catalysts with a photothermal energy conversion efficiency of 92.5% for selective aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzylaldehyde under ambient conditions.

Selective carboxylation of reactive benzylic C-H bonds by a hypervalent iodine(III)/inorganic bromide oxidation system.

Project description:An oxidation system comprising phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) and iodosobenzene with inorganic bromide, i.e., sodium bromide, in an organic solvent led to the direct introduction of carboxylic acids into benzylic C-H bonds under mild conditions. The unique radical species, generated by the homolytic cleavage of the labile I(III)-Br bond of the in situ-formed bromo-λ3-iodane, initiated benzylic carboxylation with a high degree of selectivity for the secondary benzylic position.

Quadruple perovskite ruthenate as a highly efficient catalyst for acidic water oxidation.

Project description:Development of highly active and durable oxygen-evolving catalysts in acid media is a major challenge to design proton exchange membrane water electrolysis for producing hydrogen. Here, we report a quadruple perovskite oxide CaCu3Ru4O12 as a superior catalyst for acidic water oxidation. This complex oxide exhibits an ultrasmall overpotential of 171 mV at 10 mA cm-2geo, which is much lower than that of the state-of-the-art RuO2. Moreover, compared to RuO2, CaCu3Ru4O12 shows a significant increase in mass activity by more than two orders of magnitude and much better stability. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the quadruple perovskite catalyst has a lower Ru 4d-band center relative to RuO2, which effectively optimizes the binding energy of oxygen intermediates and thereby enhances the catalytic activity.

Selective oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols using Mn(OAc)3/catalytic 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone.

Project description:A practical, chemoselective oxidation of alcohols employing catalytic quantities of DDQ as the oxidant and Mn(OAc)(3) as the co-oxidant is described. Electron-rich benzylic alcohols are oxidized efficiently to their corresponding carbonyls, but less electron-rich benzylic alcohols remain unchanged. Allylic alcohols are rapidly oxidized to their corresponding aldehyde or ketone counterparts in high yields. This protocol is operationally simple, employs an inexpensive source of Mn(OAc)(3), has short reaction times, and exhibits a significant chemoselectivity favoring allylic alcohols over benzylic alcohols. This procedure also avoids the use of very large excesses of reagents and sometimes poor reproducibility that characterize previously developed reagents such as MnO(2).

Synthesis of Benzylic Alcohols by C-H Oxidation.

Project description:Selective methylene C-H oxidation for the synthesis of alcohols with a broad scope and functional group tolerance is challenging due to the high proclivity for further oxidation of alcohols to ketones. Here, we report the selective synthesis of benzylic alcohols employing bis(methanesulfonyl) peroxide as an oxidant. We attempt to provide a rationale for the selectivity for monooxygenation, which is distinct from previous work; a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism (PCET) may account for the difference in reactivity. We envision that our method will be useful for applications in the discovery of drugs and agrochemicals.

Hierarchical palladium catalyst for highly active and stable water oxidation in acidic media.

Project description:Acidic water electrolysis is of great importance for boosting the development of renewable energy. However, it severely suffers from the trade-off between high activity and long lifespan for oxygen evolution catalysts on the anode side. This is because the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction necessitates the application of a high overpotential to achieve considerable current, which inevitably drives the catalysts far away from their thermodynamic equilibrium states. Here we demonstrate a new oxygen evolution model catalyst-hierarchical palladium (Pd) whose performance even surpasses the benchmark Ir- and Ru-based materials. The Pd catalyst displays an ultralow overpotential (196 mV), excellent durability and mitigated degradation (66 μV h-1) at 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M HClO4. Tensile strain on Pd (111) facets weakens the binding of oxygen species on electrochemical etching-derived hierarchical Pd and thereby leads to two orders of magnitudes of enhancement of mass activity in comparison to the parent Pd bulk materials. Furthermore, the Pd catalyst displays the bifunctional catalytic properties for both oxygen and hydrogen evolutions and can deliver a current density of 2 A cm-2 at a low cell voltage of 1.771 V when fabricated into polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser.

Selective Oxidation by H5[PV2Mo10O40] in a Highly Acidic Medium.

Project description:Dissolution of the polyoxometalate (POM) cluster anion H5[PV2Mo10O40] (1; a mixture of positional isomers) in 50% aq H2SO4 dramatically enhances its ability to oxidize methylarenes, while fully retaining the high selectivities typical of this versatile oxidant. To better understand this impressive reactivity, we now provide new information regarding the nature of 1 (115 mM) in 50% (9.4 M) H2SO4. Data from 51V NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry reveal that as the volume of H2SO4 in water is incrementally increased to 50%, V(V) ions are stoichiometrically released from 1, generating two reactive pervanadyl, VO2+, ions, each with a one-electron reduction potential of ca. 0.95 V (versus Ag/AgCl), compared to 0.46 V for 1 in 1.0 M aq H2SO4. Phosphorus-31 NMR spectra obtained in parallel reveal the presence of PO43-, which at 50% H2SO4 accounts for all the P(V) initially present in 1. Addition of (NH4)2SO4 leads to the formation of crystalline [NH4]6[Mo2O5(SO4)4] (34% yield based on Mo), whose structure (from single-crystal X-ray diffraction) features a corner-shared, permolybdenyl [Mo2O5]2+ core, conceptually derived by acid condensation of two MoO3 moieties. While 1 in 50% aq H2SO4 oxidizes p-xylene to p-methylbenzaldehyde with conversion and selectivity both greater than 90%, reaction with VO2+ alone gives the same high conversion, but at a significantly lower selectivity. Importantly, selectivity is fully restored by adding [NH4]6[Mo2O5(SO4)4], suggesting a central role for Mo(VI) in attenuating the (generally) poor selectivity achievable using VO2+ alone. Finally, 31P and 51V NMR spectra show that intact 1 is fully restored upon dilution to 1 M H2SO4.
