NHC-Coordinated Diphosphene-Stabilized Gold(I) Hydride and Its Reversible Conversion to Gold(I) Formate with CO2.

ABSTRACT: An NHC-coordinated diphosphene is employed as ligand for the synthesis of a hydrocarbon-soluble monomeric AuI hydride, which readily adds CO2 at room temperature yielding the corresponding AuI formate. The reversible reaction can be expedited by the addition of NHC, which induces ?-hydride shift and the removal of CO2 from equilibrium through the formation of an NHC-CO2 adduct. The AuI formate is alternatively formed by dehydrogenative coupling of the AuI hydride with formic acid (HCO2 H), thus in total establishing a reaction sequence for the AuI hydride mediated dehydrogenation of HCO2 H as chemical hydrogen storage material.

Oxo-functionalised mesoionic NHC nickel complexes for selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate.

Project description:Strategies for the conversion of CO2 to valuable products are paramount for reducing the environmental risks associated with high levels of this greenhouse gas and offer unique opportunities for transforming waste into useful products. While catalysts based on nickel as an Earth-abundant metal for the sustainable reduction of CO2 are known, the vast majority produce predominantly CO as a product. Here, efficient and selective CO2 reduction to formate as a synthetically valuable product has been accomplished with novel nickel complexes containing a tailored C,O-bidentate chelating mesoionic carbene ligand. These nickel(ii) complexes are easily accessible and show excellent catalytic activity for electrochemical H+ reduction to H2 (from HOAc in MeCN), and CO2 reduction (from CO2-saturated MeOH/MeCN solution) with high faradaic efficiency to yield formate exclusively as an industrially and synthetically valuable product from CO2. The most active catalyst precursor features the 4,6-di-tert-butyl substituted phenolate triazolylidene ligand, tolerates different proton donors including water, and reaches an unprecedented faradaic efficiency of 83% for formate production, constituting the most active and selective Ni-based system known to date for converting CO2 into formate as an important commodity chemical.

Enhanced Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to Formate on Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-Modified Copper and Gold Electrodes.

Project description:Developing active and selective catalysts that convert CO2 into valuable products remains a critical challenge for further application of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Catalytic tuning with organic additives/films has emerged as a promising strategy to tune CO2RR activity and selectivity. Herein, we report a facile method to significantly change CO2RR selectivity and activity of copper and gold electrodes. We found improved selectivity toward HCOOH at low overpotentials on both polycrystalline Cu and Au electrodes after chemical modification with a poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) layer. In situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared reflection-adsorption spectroscopy and contact angle measurements indicate that the hydrophobic nature of the P4VP layer limits mass transport of HCO3- and H2O, whereas it has little influence on CO2 mass transport. Moreover, the early onset of HCOOH formation and the enhanced formation of HCOOH over CO suggest that P4VP modification promotes a surface hydride mechanism for HCOOH formation on both electrodes.

Ultrathin tin monosulfide nanosheets with the exposed (001) plane for efficient electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into formate.

Project description:Current Sn-based materials are ideal catalysts developed to drive the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to formate, but competing proton reduction to hydrogen is an ever-present drain on catalytic selectivity. Herein, we report a reliable electrochemical exfoliation route, with the assistance of alternating voltage, for large-scale preparation of two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin tin monosulfide nanosheets (SnS NSs), which feature a large lateral size of 1.0 μm with a thickness of ∼5.0 nm. Systematic electrochemical studies demonstrated that the achieved SnS NSs exhibited an outstanding electrocatalytic activity towards the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to the formate product, as evidenced by a considerable faradaic efficiency (F.E.) of 82.1%, a high partial current density of 18.9 mA cm-2 at -1.1 V, and a low Tafel slope of 180 mV dec-1. Further, using an electrode prepared from the resulting SnS NSs by the particle transfer method, a remarkably high formate F.E. over 91% was achieved in a wide potential window. Such high performance renders the SnS NSs among the best reported tin sulfide-based CO2RR electrocatalysts. Theoretical calculations coupled with comprehensive experimental studies demonstrated that the synergistic effect between the ultrathin layered architecture and dominantly exposed (001) plane of SnS NSs accounted for the uniquely efficient catalytic activity for the CO2RR.

Hyper crosslinked polymer supported NHC stabilized gold nanoparticles with excellent catalytic performance in flow processes.

Project description:Highly active and selective heterogeneous catalysis driven by metallic nanoparticles relies on a high degree of stabilization of such nanomaterials facilitated by strong surface ligands or deposition on solid supports. In order to tackle these challenges, N-heterocyclic carbene stabilized gold nanoparticles (NHC@AuNPs) emerged as promising heterogeneous catalysts. Despite the high degree of stabilization obtained by NHCs as surface ligands, NHC@AuNPs still need to be loaded on support structures to obtain easily recyclable and reliable heterogeneous catalysts. Therefore, the combination of properties obtained by NHCs and support structures as NHC bearing "functional supports" for the stabilization of AuNPs is desirable. Here, we report the synthesis of hyper-crosslinked polymers containing benzimidazolium as NHC precursors to stabilize AuNPs. Following the successful synthesis of hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCP), a two-step procedure was developed to obtain HCP·NHC@AuNPs. Detailed characterization not only revealed the successful NHC formation but also proved that the NHC functions as a stabilizer to the AuNPs in the porous polymer network. Finally, HCP·NHC@AuNPs were evaluated in the catalytic decomposition of 4-nitrophenol. In batch reactions, a conversion of greater than 99% could be achieved in as little as 90 s. To further evaluate the catalytic capability of HCP·NHC@AuNP, the catalytic decomposition of 4-nitrophenol was also performed in a flow setup. Here the catalyst not only showed excellent catalytic conversion but also exceptional recyclability while maintaining the catalytic performance.

A pendant proton shuttle on [Fe4N(CO)12]- alters product selectivity in formate vs. H2 production via the hydride [H-Fe4N(CO)12].

Project description:Proton relays are known to increase reaction rates for H2 evolution and lower overpotentials in electrocatalytic reactions. In this report we describe two electrocatalysts, [Fe4N(CO)11(PPh3)]- (1-) which has no proton relay, and hydroxyl-containing [Fe4N(CO)11(Ph2P(CH2)2OH)]- (2-). Solid state structures indicate that these phosphine-substituted clusters are direct analogs of [Fe4N(CO)12]- where one CO ligand has been replaced by a phosphine. We show that the proton relay changes the selectivity of reactions: CO2 is reduced selectively to formate by 1- in the absence of a relay, and protons are reduced to H2 under a CO2 atmosphere by 2-. These results implicate a hydride intermediate in the mechanism of the reactions and demonstrate the importance of controlling proton delivery to control product selectivity. Thermochemical measurements performed using infrared spectroelectrochemistry provided pKa and hydricity values for [HFe4N(CO)11(PPh3)]-, which are 23.7, and 45.5 kcal mol-1, respectively. The pKa of the hydroxyl group in 2- was determined to fall between 29 and 41, and this suggests that the proximity of the proton relay to the active catalytic site plays a significant role in the product selectivity observed, since the acidity alone does not account for the observed results. More generally, this work emphasizes the importance of substrate delivery kinetics in determining the selectivity of CO2 reduction reactions that proceed through metal-hydride intermediates.

NHC-stabilized Parent Arsanylalanes and -gallanes.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of the unprecedented compounds IDipp⋅E'H2 AsH2 (E'=Al, Ga; IDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) are reported, the first monomeric, parent representatives of an arsanylalane and arsanylgallane, respectively, stabilized only by a LB (LB=Lewis Base). They are prepared by a salt metathesis reaction of KAsH2 with IDipp⋅E'H2 Cl (E'=Al, Ga). The H2 -elimination pathway through the reaction of AsH3 with IDipp⋅E'H3 (E'=Al, Ga) was found to be a possible synthetic route with some disadvantages compared to the salt metathesis reaction. The corresponding organo-substituted compounds IDipp⋅GaH2 AsPh2 (1) and IDipp⋅AlH2 AsPh2 (2) were obtained by the reaction of KAsPh2 with IDipp⋅E'H2 Cl (E'=Al, Ga). The novel branched parent compounds IDipp⋅E'H(EH2 )2 (E'=Al, Ga; E=P, As) were synthesized by salt metathesis reactions starting from IDipp⋅E'HCl2 (E'=Al, Ga). Supporting DFT computations give insight into the different synthetic pathways and the stability of the products.

Improving photosensitization for photochemical CO2-to-CO conversion.

Project description:Inspired by nature, improving photosensitization represents a vital direction for the development of artificial photosynthesis. The sensitization ability of photosensitizers (PSs) reflects in their electron-transfer ability, which highly depends on their excited-state lifetime and redox potential. Herein, for the first time, we put forward a facile strategy to improve sensitizing ability via finely tuning the excited state of Ru(II)-PSs (Ru-1-Ru-4) for efficient CO2 reduction. Remarkably, [Ru(Phen)2(3-pyrenylPhen)]2+ (Ru-3) exhibits the best sensitizing ability among Ru-1-Ru-4, over 17 times higher than that of typical Ru(Phen)3 2+. It can efficiently sensitize a dinuclear cobalt catalyst for CO2-to-CO conversion with a maximum turnover number of 66 480. Systematic investigations demonstrate that its long-lived excited state and suitable redox driving force greatly contributed to this superior sensitizing ability. This work provides a new insight into dramatically boosting photocatalytic CO2 reduction via improving photosensitization.

Plasmonic colloidosomes of black gold for solar energy harvesting and hotspots directed catalysis for CO2 to fuel conversion.

Project description:In this work, we showed the tuning of the catalytic behavior of dendritic plasmonic colloidosomes (DPCs) by plasmonic hotspots. A cycle-by-cycle solution-phase synthetic protocol yielded high-surface-area DPCs by controlled nucleation-growth of gold nanoparticles. These DPCs, which had varying interparticle distances and particle-size distribution, absorb light over the entire visible region as well as in the near-infrared region of the solar spectrum, transforming gold into black gold. They produced intense hotspots of localized electric fields as well as heat, which were quantified and visualized by Raman thermometry and electron energy loss spectroscopy plasmon mapping. These DPCs can be effectively utilized for the oxidation reaction of cinnamyl alcohol using pure oxygen as the oxidant, hydrosilylation of aldehydes, temperature jump assisted protein unfolding and purification of seawater to drinkable water via steam generation. Black gold DPCs also convert CO2 to methane (fuel) at atmospheric pressure and temperature, using solar energy.

Monomers from CO2 : Superbases as Catalysts for Formate-to-Oxalate Coupling.

Project description:An interesting contribution to solving the climate crisis involves the use of CO2 as a feedstock for monomers to produce sustainable plastics. In the European Horizon 2020 project "OCEAN" a continuous multistep process from CO2 to oxalic acid and derivatives is developed, starting with the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to potassium formate. The subsequent formate-to-oxalate coupling is a reaction that has been studied and commercially used for over 150 years. With the introduction of superbases as catalysts under moisture-free conditions unprecedented improvements were shown for the formate coupling reaction. With isotopic labelling experiments the presence of carbonite as an intermediate was proven during the reaction, and with a unique operando set-up the kinetics were studied. Ultimately, the required reaction temperature could be dropped from 400 to below 200 °C, and the reaction time could be reduced from 10 to 1 min whilst achieving 99 % oxalate yield.
