Ultra-small cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly-defined Co-salen complexes for catalytic synthesis of amines.

ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.

Tailored cobalt-salen complexes enable electrocatalytic intramolecular allylic C-H functionalizations.

Project description:Oxidative allylic C-H functionalization is a powerful tool to streamline organic synthesis as it minimizes the need for functional group activation and generates alkenyl-substituted products amenable to further chemical modifications. The intramolecular variants can be used to construct functionalized ring structures but remain limited in scope and by their frequent requirement for noble metal catalysts and stoichiometric chemical oxidants. Here we report an oxidant-free, electrocatalytic approach to achieve intramolecular oxidative allylic C-H amination and alkylation by employing tailored cobalt-salen complexes as catalysts. These reactions proceed through a radical mechanism and display broad tolerance of functional groups and alkene substitution patterns, allowing efficient coupling of di-, tri- and even tetrasubstituted alkenes with N- and C-nucleophiles to furnish high-value heterocyclic and carbocyclic structures.

Controlling the nucleophilic properties of cobalt salen complexes for carbon dioxide capture.

Project description:The nucleophilic properties of cobalt salen complexes are examined using density functional theory to investigate its carbon fixing capacity. In particular, carbon dioxide attack on neutral and anionic cobalt salen molecules is considered. Carbon fixation occurs for the anionic cobalt salen complex and is due to the nucleophilic interaction between the cobalt center and carbon dioxide molecule in a Co d z 2 -CO2 π* interaction. A minimum energy path search by a nudged elastic band calculation reveals a lower forward activation energy for the anionic complex than the neutral complex, indicating that the formation of the anionic complex is thermodynamically and kinetically favored. In this case, the CO2 molecule is chemisorbed as partial charge transfer from the cobalt center to carbon dioxide is observed. Proposed reaction mechanisms explain how the Co-C bond energy of the CO2-cobalt salen complex can be tuned by appropriate substitutions of electron donating or withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring.

Adjusting the catalytic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles by pulsed laser fragmentation in water with defined energy dose.

Project description:Highly active, structurally disordered CoFe2O4/CoO electrocatalysts are synthesized by pulsed laser fragmentation in liquid (PLFL) of a commercial CoFe2O4 powder dispersed in water. A partial transformation of the CoFe2O4 educt to CoO is observed and proposed to be a thermal decomposition process induced by the picosecond pulsed laser irradiation. The overpotential in the OER in aqueous alkaline media at 10 mA cm-2 is reduced by 23% compared to the educt down to 0.32 V with a Tafel slope of 71 mV dec-1. Importantly, the catalytic activity is systematically adjustable by the number of PLFL treatment cycles. The occurrence of thermal melting and decomposition during one PLFL cycle is verified by modelling the laser beam energy distribution within the irradiated colloid volume and comparing the by single particles absorbed part to threshold energies. Thermal decomposition leads to a massive reduction in particle size and crystal transformations towards crystalline CoO and amorphous CoFe2O4. Subsequently, thermal melting forms multi-phase spherical and network-like particles. Additionally, Fe-based layered double hydroxides at higher process cycle repetitions emerge as a byproduct. The results show that PLFL is a promising method that allows modification of the structural order in oxides and thus access to catalytically interesting materials.

Aerobic Oxidation Reactivity of Well-Defined Cobalt(II) and Cobalt(III) Aminophenol Complexes.

Project description:This paper describes the synthesis and reactivity studies of three cobalt complexes bearing aminophenol-derived ligands without nitrogen substitution: CoII(tBu2APH)2(tBu2AP)2 (1), CoIII2(tBu2APH)2(tBu2AP)2(μ-tBu2BAP)2 (2), and CoIII(tBu2AP)3 (3), where tBu2APH = 2-amino-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol, tBu2AP = 2-amino-4,6-di-tert-butylphenolate, and μ-tBu2BAP = bridging 2-amido-4,6-di-tert-butylphenolate. Stoichiometric reactivity studies of these well-defined complexes demonstrate the catalytic competency of both cobalt(II) and cobalt(III) complexes in the aerobic oxidative cyclization of tBu2APH with tert-butylisonitrile. Reactions with O2 reveal the aerobic oxidation of the cobalt(II) complex 1 to generate the cobalt(III) species 2 and 3. UV-visible time-course studies and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy indicate that this oxidation proceeds through a ligand-based radical intermediate. These studies represent the first example of well-defined cobalt aminophenol complexes that participate in catalytic aerobic oxidation reactions and highlight a key role for a ligand radical in the oxidation sequence.

Synthesis and Catalytic Reactivity of Cobalt Pincer Nitrosyl Hydride Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of low-spin {CoNO}8 pincer complexes of the type [Co(PCP)(NO)(H)] are described. These compounds are obtained either by reacting [Co(PCP)(κ2-BH4)] with NO and Et3N or, alternatively, by reacting [Co(PCP)(NO)]+ with boranes, such as NH3·BH3 in solution. The five-coordinate, diamagnetic Co(III) complex [Co(PCPNMe-iPr)(NO)(H)] was found to be the active species in the hydroboration of alkenes with anti-Markovnikov selectivity. A range of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were efficiently converted with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild conditions in good to excellent yield. Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of isotope labeling, NMR spectroscopy, and APCI/ESI-MS as well as DFT calculations.

A well-defined, versatile photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3 for visible light-initiated living/controlled radical polymerization.

Project description:The control of the polymerization of a wide range of monomers under mild conditions by a single catalyst remains a major challenge in polymer science. We report a versatile, well-defined organocobalt salen complex to control living radical polymerization of different categories of monomers, including acrylates, acrylamides and vinyl acetate, under visible light irradiation at ambient temperature. Both household light and sunlight were effectively applied in the synthesis of polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Narrowly dispersed block copolymers (Mw/Mn < 1.2) were obtained under various conditions. The structures of the polymers were analyzed by 1H NMR, 2D NMR, 13C NMR, GPC, MALDI-TOF-MS and isotopic labeling experiments, which showed that the ? and ? ends of the polymer chains were capped with (salen)Co and -CO2CH3 segments, respectively, from the photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3. The ? end was easily functionalized through oxygen insertion followed by hydrolysis from 18O2 to -18OH. This robust system can proceed without any additives, and offers a versatile and green way to produce well-defined homo and block copolymers.

Here, we describe cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated within graphitic shells prepared via the pyrolysis of a cationic poly-ionic liquid (PIL) with a cobalt(II) chloride anion. The resulting material has a core-shell structure that displays excellent activity and selectivity in the self-dehydrogenation and hetero-dehydrogenation of primary amines to their corresponding imines. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibits excellent activity in the synthesis of secondary imines from substrates with various reducible functional groups (C=C, C?C and C?N) and amino acid derivatives.

Selective cobalt nanoparticles for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes.

Project description:Nitrogen modified cobalt catalysts supported on carbon were prepared by pyrolysis of the mixture generated from cobalt(ii) acetate in aqueous solution of melamine or waste melamine resins, which are widely used as industrial polymers. The obtained nanostructured materials catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes with formic acid in the absence of base. The optimal Co/Melamine-2@C-700 catalyst exhibits high activity and selectivity for the dehydrogenation of formic acid into molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide and allows for the reduction of diverse N-heteroarenes including substrates featuring sensitive functional groups.

Enantioselective intramolecular openings of oxetanes catalyzed by (salen)Co(III) complexes: access to enantioenriched tetrahydrofurans.

Project description:The catalytic enantioselective intramolecular ring-opening of oxetanes with alcohols is catalyzed by (salen)Co(III) complexes. Either a monomeric or oligomeric catalyst can be used successfully in this transformation, providing 3-substituted tetrahydrofurans in both high yield and enantioselectivity. This methodology extends the range of electrophiles that can be activated toward highly enantioselective addition reactions by (salen)metal catalysts to an important new class.

Hepatoblastoma in molecularly defined, congenital diseases.

Project description:Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis and trisomy 18 are the most common congenital conditions associated with an increased incidence of hepatoblastoma (HB). In patients with these genetic disorders, screening protocols for HB are proposed that include periodic abdominal ultrasound and measurement of alpha-fetoprotein levels. Surveillance in these children may contribute to the early detection of HB and possibly improve their chances of overall survival. Therefore, physicians must be aware of the high HB incidence in children with certain predisposing genetic diseases.
