Amphiphilic Oxo-Bridged Ruthenium "Green Dimer" for Water Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: In 1982, an oxo-bridged dinuclear ruthenium(III) complex, known as "blue dimer," was discovered to be active for water oxidation. In this work, a new amphiphilic ruthenium "green dimer" 2, obtained from an amphiphilic mononuclear Ru(bda) (N-OTEG) (L1) (1; N-OTEG = 4-(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)-pyridine; L1 = vinylpyridine) is reported. An array of mechanistic studies identifies "green dimer" 2 as a mixed valence of Ru^II-O-Ru^III oxo-bridged structure. Bearing the same bda^2- and amphiphilic axial ligands, monomer 1 and green dimer 2 can be reversibly converted by ascorbic acid and oxygen, respectively, in aqueous solution. More importantly, the oxo-bridged "green dimer" 2 was found to take water nucleophilic attack for oxygen evolution, in contrast to monomer 1 via radical coupling pathway for O-O bond formation. This is the first report of an amphiphilic oxo-bridged catalyst, which possesses a new oxygen evolution pathway of Ru-bda catalysts.

Mechanism of Catalytic Water Oxidation by the Ruthenium Blue Dimer Catalyst: Comparative Study in D₂O versus H₂O.

Project description:Water oxidation is critically important for the development of energy solutions based on the concept of artificial photosynthesis. In order to gain deeper insight into the mechanism of water oxidation, the catalytic cycle for the first designed water oxidation catalyst, cis,cis-[(bpy)₂(H₂O)RuIIIORuIII(OH₂)(bpy)₂]4+ (bpy is 2,2-bipyridine) known as the blue dimer (BD), is monitored in D₂O by combined application of stopped flow UV-Vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and resonance Raman spectroscopy on freeze quenched samples. The results of these studies show that the rate of formation of BD[4,5] by Ce(IV) oxidation of BD[3,4] (numbers in square bracket denote oxidation states of the ruthenium (Ru) centers) in 0.1 M HNO₃, as well as further oxidation of BD[4,5] are slower in D₂O by 2.1-2.5. Ce(IV) oxidation of BD[4,5] and reaction with H₂O result in formation of an intermediate, BD[3,4]', which builds up in reaction mixtures on the minute time scale. Combined results under the conditions of these experiments at pH 1 indicate that oxidation of BD[3,4]' is a rate limiting step in water oxidation with the BD catalyst.

Ambient methane functionalization initiated by electrochemical oxidation of a vanadium (V)-oxo dimer.

Project description:The abundant yet widely distributed methane resources require efficient conversion of methane into liquid chemicals, whereas an ambient selective process with minimal infrastructure support remains to be demonstrated. Here we report selective electrochemical oxidation of CH4 to methyl bisulfate (CH3OSO3H) at ambient pressure and room temperature with a molecular catalyst of vanadium (V)-oxo dimer. This water-tolerant, earth-abundant catalyst possesses a low activation energy (10.8?kcal mol?1) and a high turnover frequency (483 and 1336?hr-1 at 1-bar and 3-bar pure CH4, respectively). The catalytic system electrochemically converts natural gas mixture into liquid products under ambient conditions over 240?h with a Faradaic efficiency of 90% and turnover numbers exceeding 100,000. This tentatively proposed mechanism is applicable to other d0 early transition metal species and represents a new scalable approach that helps mitigate the flaring or direct emission of natural gas at remote locations.

Highly efficient and robust molecular ruthenium catalysts for water oxidation.

Project description:Water oxidation catalysts are essential components of light-driven water splitting systems, which could convert water to H(2) driven by solar radiation (H(2)O + h? ? 1/2O(2) + H(2)). The oxidation of water (H(2)O ? 1/2O(2) + 2H(+) + 2e(-)) provides protons and electrons for the production of dihydrogen (2H(+) + 2e(-) ? H(2)), a clean-burning and high-capacity energy carrier. One of the obstacles now is the lack of effective and robust water oxidation catalysts. Aiming at developing robust molecular Ru-bda (H(2)bda = 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid) water oxidation catalysts, we carried out density functional theory studies, correlated the robustness of catalysts against hydration with the highest occupied molecular orbital levels of a set of ligands, and successfully directed the synthesis of robust Ru-bda water oxidation catalysts. A series of mononuclear ruthenium complexes [Ru(bda)L(2)] (L = pyridazine, pyrimidine, and phthalazine) were subsequently synthesized and shown to effectively catalyze Ce(IV)-driven [Ce(IV) = Ce(NH(4))(2)(NO(3))(6)] water oxidation with high oxygen production rates up to 286 s(-1) and high turnover numbers up to 55,400.

Water co-catalysis in aerobic olefin epoxidation mediated by ruthenium oxo complexes.

Project description:We report the development of a versatile Ru-porphyrin catalyst system which performs the aerobic epoxidation of aromatic and aliphatic (internal) alkenes under mild conditions, with product yields of up to 95% and turnover numbers (TON) up to 300. Water is shown to play a crucial role in the reaction, significantly increasing catalyst efficiency and substrate scope. Detailed mechanistic investigations employing both computational studies and a range of experimental techniques revealed that water activates the RuVI di-oxo complex for alkene epoxidation via hydrogen bonding, stabilises the RuIV mono-oxo intermediate, and is involved in the regeneration of the RuVI di-oxo complex leading to oxygen atom exchange. Distinct kinetics are obtained in the presence of water, and side reactions involved in catalyst deactivation have been identified.

Highly Cooperative Tetrametallic Ruthenium-mu-Oxo-mu-Hydroxo Catalyst for the Alcohol Oxidation Reaction.

Project description:The tetrametallic ruthenium-oxo-hydroxo-hydride complex {[(PCy(3))(CO)RuH](4)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(mu(2)-OH)} (1) was synthesized in two steps from the monomeric complex (PCy(3))(CO)RuHCl (2). The tetrameric complex 1 was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the transfer dehydrogenation of alcohols. Complex 1 showed a different catalytic activity pattern towards primary and secondary benzyl alcohols, as indicated by the Hammett correlation for the oxidation reaction of p-X-C(6)H(4)CH(2)OH (rho = -0.45) and p-X-C(6)H(4)CH(OH)CH(3) (rho = +0.22) (X = OMe, CH(3), H, Cl, CF(3)). Both a sigmoidal curve from the plot of initial rate vs [PhCH(OH)CH(3)] (K(0.5) = 0.34 M; Hill coefficient, n = 4.2+/-0.1) and the phosphine inhibition kinetics revealed the highly cooperative nature of the complex for the oxidation of secondary alcohols.

Spectral Signatures of Oxidation States in a Manganese-Oxo Cubane Water Oxidation Catalyst.

Project description:We report IR and UV/Vis spectroscopic signatures that allow discriminating between the oxidation states of the manganese-based water oxidation catalyst [(Mn4 O4 )(V4 O13 )(OAc)3 ]3- . Simulated IR spectra show that V=O stretching vibrations in the 900-1000 cm-1 region shift consistently by about 20 cm-1 per oxidation equivalent. Multiple bands in the 1450-1550 cm-1 region also change systematically upon oxidation/reduction. The computed UV/Vis spectra predict that the spectral range above 350 nm is characteristic of the managanese-oxo cubane oxidation state, whereas transitions at higher energy are due to the vanadate ligand. The presence of absorption signals above 680 nm is indicative of the presence of MnIII atoms. Spectroelectrochemical measurements of the oxidation from [Mn 2III Mn 2IV ] to [Mn 4IV ] showed that the change in oxidation state can indeed be tracked by both IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy.

Project description:The nature of chemical bonds of ruthenium(Ru)-quinine(Q) complexes, mononuclear [Ru(trpy)(3,5-t-Bu(2)Q)(OH(2))](ClO(4))(2) (trpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone) (1), and binuclear [Ru(2)(btpyan)(3,6-di-Bu(2)Q)(2)(OH(2))](2+) (btpyan = 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene, 3,6-t-Bu(2)Q = 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone) (2), has been investigated by broken-symmetry (BS) hybrid density functional (DFT) methods. BS DFT computations for the Ru complexes have elucidated that the closed-shell structure (2b) Ru(II)-Q complex is less stable than the open-shell structure (2bb) consisting of Ru(III) and semiquinone (SQ) radical fragments. These computations have also elucidated eight different electronic and spin structures of tetraradical intermediates that may be generated in the course of water splitting reaction. The Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian model for these species has been derived to elucidate six different effective exchange interactions (J) for four spin systems. Six J values have been determined using total energies of the eight (or seven) BS solutions for different spin configurations. The natural orbital analyses of these BS DFT solutions have also been performed in order to obtain natural orbitals and their occupation numbers, which are useful for the lucid understanding of the nature of chemical bonds of the Ru complexes. Implications of the computational results are discussed in relation to the proposed reaction mechanisms of water splitting reaction in artificial photosynthesis systems and the similarity between artificial and native water splitting systems.

Identifying MnVII-oxo Species during Electrochemical Water Oxidation by Manganese Oxide.

Project description:Identifying surface active intermediate species is essential to reveal the catalytic mechanism of water oxidation by metal-oxides-based catalysts and to develop more efficient catalysts for oxygen-oxygen bond formation. Here we report, through electrochemical methods and ex situ infrared spectroscopy, the identification of a MnVII = O intermediate during catalytic water oxidation by a c-disordered ?-MnOx with an onset-potential-dependent reduction peak at 0.93 V and an infrared peak at 912 cm-1. This intermediate is proved to be highly reactive and much more oxidative than permanganate ion. Therefore, we propose a new catalytic mechanism for water oxidation catalyzed by Mn oxides, with involvement of the MnVII = O intermediate in a resting state and the MnIV-O-MnVII = O as a real active species for oxygen-oxygen bond formation.

A Ruthenium(II) Water Oxidation Catalyst Containing a pH-Responsive Ligand Framework.

Project description:The synthesis of a new RuII-based water oxidation catalyst is presented, in which a nitrophenyl group is introduced into the backbone of dpp via a pH-sensitive imidazole bridge (dpp = 2,9-di-(2'-pyridyl)-1,10-phenanthroline). This modification had a pronounced effect on the photophysical properties and led to the appearance of a significant absorption band around 441 nm in the UV-vis spectrum upon formation of the monoprotonated species under neutral conditions. Theoretical investigations could show that the main contributions to this band arise from transitions involving the imidazole and nitrophenyl motif, allowing us to determine the pKa value (6.8 ± 0.1) of the corresponding, twofold protonated conjugated acid. In contrast, the influence of the nitrophenyl group on the electrochemical properties of the catalytic center was negligible. Likewise, the catalytic performance of Ru(dppip-NO2) and its parent complex Ru(dpp) was comparable over the entire investigated pH range (dppip-NO2 = 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-6,9-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline). This allowed the original catalytic properties to be retained while additionally featuring a functionalized ligand scaffold, which provides further modification opportunities as well as the ability to report the pH of the catalytic solution via UV-vis spectroscopy.
