Tailored quinones support high-turnover Pd catalysts for oxidative C-H arylation with O₂.

ABSTRACT: Palladium(II)-catalyzed carbon-hydrogen (C-H) oxidation reactions could streamline the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other complex organic molecules. Existing methods, however, commonly exhibit poor catalyst performance with high palladium (Pd) loading (e.g., 10 mole %) and a need for (super)stoichiometric quantities of undesirable oxidants, such as benzoquinone and silver(I) salts. The present study probes the mechanism of a representative Pd-catalyzed oxidative C-H arylation reaction and elucidates mechanistic features that undermine catalyst performance, including substrate-consuming side reactions and sequestration of the catalyst as an inactive species. Systematic tuning of the quinone cocatalyst overcomes these deleterious features. Use of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone enables efficient use of molecular oxygen as the oxidant, high reaction yields, and >1900 turnovers by the Pd catalyst.

Nanometric Iridium Overlayer Catalysts for High-Turnover NH3 Oxidation with Suppressed N2O Formation.

Project description:In the present study, we prepared a 12 nm thick Ir overlayer via pulsed cathodic arc plasma deposition on a 50 μm thick Fe-Cr-Al metal (SUS) foil. Using this thin-film catalyst made NH3-O2 reactions more environmentally benign due to a much lower selectivity for undesirable N2O (<5%) than that of a Pt overlayer (∼70%) at 225 °C. Despite its small surface area, Ir/SUS exhibited promising activity as an ammonia slip catalyst according to a turnover frequency (TOF) >70-fold greater than that observed with conventional Ir nanoparticle catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3. We found that the high-TOF NH3 oxidation was associated with the stability of the metallic Ir surface against oxidation by excess O2 present in simulated diesel exhaust. Additionally, we found that the Ir overlayer structure was thermally unstable at reaction temperatures ≥400 °C and at which point the Ir surface coverage dropped significantly; however, thermal deterioration was substantially mitigated by inserting a 250 nm thick Zr buffer layer between the Ir overlayer and the SUS foil substrate (Ir/Zr/SUS). Although N2O formation was suppressed by NH3 oxidation over Ir/Zr/SUS, other undesired byproducts (i.e., NO and NO2) were readily converted to N2 by coupling with a V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalyst in a second reactor for selective catalytic reduction by NH3. These results demonstrated that this tandem reactor configuration converted NH3 to N2 with nearly complete selectivity at a range of 200-600 °C in the presence of excess O2 (8%) and H2O (10%).

Modulation of the superficial electronic structure via metal-support interaction for H2 evolution over Pd catalysts.

Project description:Electronic interactions can radically enhance the performance of supported metal catalysts and are critical for fundamentally understanding the nature of catalysts. However, at the microscopic level, the details of such interactions tuning the electronic properties of the sites on the metal particle's surface and metal-support interface remain obscure. Herein, we found polarized electronic metal-support interaction (pEMSI) in oxide-supported Pd nanoparticles (NPs) describing the enhanced accumulation of electrons at the surface of NPs (superficial Pd δ-) with positive Pd atoms distributed on the interface (interfacial Pd δ+). More superficial Pd δ- species mean stronger pEMSI resulting from the synergistic effect of moderate Pd-oxide interaction, high structural fluxionality and electron transport activity of Pd NPs. The surface Pd δ- species are responsible for improved catalytic performance for H2 evolution from metal hydrides and formates. These extensive insights into the nature of supported-metal NPs may open new avenues for regulating a metal particle's electronic structure precisely and exploiting high-performance catalysts.

Interpreting Oxidative Addition of Ph-X (X = CH3, F, Cl, and Br) to Monoligated Pd(0) Catalysts Using Molecular Electrostatic Potential.

Project description:A B3LYP density functional theory study on the oxidative addition of halogenobenzenes and toluene to monoligated zerovalent palladium catalysts (Pd-L) has been carried out using the "L" ligands such as phosphines, N-heterocyclic carbenes, alkynes, and alkenes. The electron deficiency of the undercoordinated Pd in Pd-L is quantified in terms of the molecular electrostatic potential at the metal center (V Pd), which showed significant variation with respect to the nature of the L ligand. Further, a strong linear correlation between ΔV Pd and the activation barrier (E act) of the reaction is established. The correlation plots between ΔV Pd and E act suggest that a priori prediction on the ability of the palladium complex to undergo oxidative addition is possible from V Pd analysis. In general, as the electron-donating nature of ligand increases, the suitability of Pd(0) catalyst to undergo oxidative addition increases. V Pd measures the electron-rich/-deficient nature of the metal center and provides a quantitative measure of the reactivity of the catalyst. By tuning the V Pd value, efficient catalysts can be designed.

Hydrodechlorination of 4-Chlorophenol on Pd-Fe Catalysts on Mesoporous ZrO2SiO2 Support.

Project description:A mesoporous support based on silica and zirconia (ZS) was used to prepare monometallic 1 wt% Pd/ZS, 10 wt% Fe/ZS, and bimetallic FePd/ZS catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by TPR-H2, XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, AAS, and DRIFT spectroscopy of adsorbed CO after H2 reduction in situ and tested in hydrodechlorination of environmental pollutant 4-chlorophelol in aqueous solution at 30 °C. The bimetallic catalyst demonstrated an excellent activity, selectivity to phenol and stability in 10 consecutive runs. FePd/ZS has exceptional reducibility due to the high dispersion of palladium and strong interaction between FeOx and palladium, confirmed by TPR-H2, DRIFT spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. Its reduction occurs during short-time treatment with hydrogen in an aqueous solution at RT. The Pd/ZS was more resistant to reduction but can be activated by aqueous phenol solution and H2. The study by DRIFT spectroscopy of CO adsorbed on Pd/ZS reduced in harsh (H2, 330 °C), medium (H2, 200 °C) and mild conditions (H2 + aqueous solution of phenol) helped to identify the reasons of the reducing action of phenol solution. It was found that phenol provided fast transformation of Pd+ to Pd0. Pd/ZS also can serve as an active and stable catalyst for 4-PhCl transformation to phenol after proper reduction.

Insight into the palladium catalyzed oxidative arylation of benzofuran: Heteropoly acid oxidants evoke a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) mechanism.

Project description:The effects of oxidant and organic acid additives on the oxidative cross-coupling reactions of electron rich heterocycles such as benzofuran with benzene were studied. Both regioselectivity and reaction rate could be controlled by varying the condition parameters. Furthermore, mechanistic insight was achieved via kinetic studies which indicate that reactions that are oxidized by the heteropoly acid H4PMo11VO40 operate via a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) mechanisms, while reactions oxidized by either AgOAc or Cu(OAc)2 operate by a Pd(II)/Pd(0) mechanism.

Tailored Alkali Resistance of DeNOx Catalysts by Improving Redox Properties and Activating Adsorbed Reactive Species.

Project description:It is still challenging to develop strongly alkali-resistant catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3. It is generally believed that the maintenance of acidity is the most important factor because of neutral effects of alkali. This work discovers that the redox properties rather than acidity play decisive roles in improving alkali resistance of some specific catalyst systems. K-poisoned Fe-decorated SO42--modified CeZr oxide (Fe/SO42-/CeZr) catalysts show decreased acidity but reserve the high redox properties. The higher reactivity of NHx species induced by K poisoning compensates for the decreased amount of adsorbed NHx, leading to a desired reaction efficiency between adsorbed NHx and nitrate species. This study provides a unique perspective in designing an alkali-resistant deNOx catalyst via improving redox properties and activating the reactivities of NHx species rather than routinely increasing acidic sites for NHx adsorption, which is of significance for academic interests and practical applications.

Oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSI) of supported platinum-group metal catalysts.

Project description:Supported platinum-group metal (PGM) catalysts are widely used in many important industrial processes. Metal-support interaction is of great importance in tailoring their catalytic performance. Here, we report the first example of oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSIs) between PGM and hydroxyapatite (HAP) which can be extended to PGM and ZnO. It occurred under high-temperature oxidation conditions accompanied by the encapsulation of PGM by HAP and electron transfer between PGM and HAP. With this OMSI, the aggregation and leaching of PGMs were significantly inhibited, resulting in an excellent catalytic stability and much improved reusability of supported Pt and Pd catalysts, respectively. This is the first time to find that PGMs can manifest OMSI which benefits the stabilization of PGM catalysts under oxidative reaction conditions. This new type of SMSI not only contributed to a deeper understanding of SMSI but also provided a new way to develop new stable PGM catalysts.

Effect of Particle Size and Support Type on Pd Catalysts for 1,3-Butadiene Hydrogenation.

Project description:Pd nanoparticles supported on SiO2, Si3N4 and Al2O3 were studied to examine the effect of particle size and support type on the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene. Pd nanoparticles were produced using a reverse micelle method resulting in particles with a remarkably small particle size distribution (σ < < 1 nm). The support type and particle size were observed to affect both catalytic activity and product selectivity. All catalysts showed a decrease of their activity with time on stream, paired with an increase in selectivity to butenes (1-butene and cis/trans-2-butene) from a product stream initially dominated by n-butane. In situ XAFS demonstrated a correlation between the formation of palladium hydride and n-butane production in the early stages (~ 1 h) of reaction. The extent of palladium hydride formation, as well as its depletion with time on stream, was dependent on both particle size and support type. Metallic Pd was identified as the species selective towards the production of butenes.

Nanometric NaYF4 as an Unconventional Support for Gold Catalysts for Oxidation Reactions.

Project description:The metal-support interaction plays an important role in gold catalysis. We employ here crystalline cubic (α-) and hexagonal (β-) phases of heterometallic fluoride NaYF4 nanoparticles (NPs), obtained by the decomposition of a single source precursor [NaY(TFA)4(diglyme)] (TFA = trifluoroacetate), as nonoxide supports for gold catalysts. Using an isostructural gadolinium analogue, we also obtained doped α-NaYF4:Gd3+ and β-NaYF4:Gd3+ NPs. A successful deposition of ∼1% by weight gold NPs of average size 5-6.5 nm on these doped and undoped metal fluorides using HAuCl4·3H2O afforded Au/NaYF4 catalysts which were thoroughly characterized by using several physicochemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A comparative study of the above catalysts for different oxidation reactions show that while for the aerobic oxidation of trans-stilbene in solution phase, they are either better (in terms of stilbene conversion) or at par (in terms of trans-stilbene oxide yield) in comparison to the reference catalyst Au/TiO2 of the World Gold Council, their activity toward CO oxidation reactions in gas phase remains much less than that of gold catalysts supported on metal oxides.
