Understanding Ligand-Directed Heterogeneous Catalysis: When the Dynamically Changing Nature of the Ligand Layer Controls the Hydrogenation Selectivity.

ABSTRACT: We present a mechanistic study on the formation and dynamic changes of a ligand-based heterogeneous Pd catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde acrolein. Deposition of allyl cyanide as a precursor of a ligand layer renders Pd highly active and close to 100 % selective toward propenol formation by promoting acrolein adsorption in a desired configuration via the C=O end. Employing a combination of real-space microscopic and in-operando spectroscopic surface-sensitive techniques, we show that an ordered active ligand layer is formed under operational conditions, consisting of stable N-butylimine species. In a competing process, unstable amine species evolve on the surface, which desorb in the course of the reaction. Obtained atomistic-level insights into the formation and dynamic evolution of the active ligand layer under operational conditions provide important input required for controlling chemoselectivity by purposeful surface functionalization.

Role of Intermediate Dynamics in Controlling Hydrogenation Selectivity by Heterogeneous Catalysis.

Project description:Selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis is essential while being the most difficult parameters to obtain from theoretical simulations. Although theory holds the key for catalytic design, in the search of complex reaction networks, intermediates are considered static and different configurations for addition reactions are not considered. Here, we present the crucial role of intermediate dynamics to understand reaction selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts by studying the dynamic properties. The hydrogenation of two different intermediates hydroperoxide (OOH) and vinyl (HCCH2) is crucial to in the direct synthesis of water peroxide and alkyne semi-hydrogenation are taken as examples on the bare and alloyed surfaces. For them, the reaction network is studied by density functional theory coupled to molecular dynamics to present the role of rotations and how they affect paths for the addition of atomic hydrogen to lead to the products. In summary, the thermodynamic selectivity can be mapped to the dynamic control in the kinetics of the process.

Dynamically driven ligand selectivity in cyclic nucleotide binding domains.

Project description:One of the mechanisms that minimize the aberrant cross-talk between cAMP- and cGMP-dependent signaling pathways relies on the selectivity of cAMP binding domains (CBDs). For instance, the CBDs of two critical eukaryotic cAMP receptors, i.e. protein kinase A (PKA) and the exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC), are both selectively activated by cAMP. However, the mechanisms underlying their cAMP versus cGMP selectivity are quite distinct. In PKA this selectivity is controlled mainly at the level of ligand affinity, whereas in EPAC it is mostly determined at the level of allostery. Currently, the molecular basis for these different selectivity mechanisms is not fully understood. We have therefore comparatively analyzed by NMR the cGMP-bound states of the essential CBDs of PKA and EPAC, revealing key differences between them. Specifically, cGMP binds PKA preserving the same syn base orientation as cAMP at the price of local steric clashes, which lead to a reduced affinity for cGMP. Unlike PKA, cGMP is recognized by EPAC in an anti conformation and generates several short and long range perturbations. Although these effects do not alter significantly the structure of the EPAC CBD investigated, remarkable differences in dynamics between the cAMP- and cGMP-bound states are detected for the ionic latch region. These observations suggest that one of the determinants of cGMP antagonism in EPAC is the modulation of the entropic control of inhibitory interactions and illustrate the pivotal role of allostery in determining signaling selectivity as a function of dynamic changes, even in the absence of significant affinity variations.

Ligand Postsynthetic Functionalization with Fluorinated Boranes and Implications in Hydrogenation Catalysis.

Project description:The incorporation of boron functionalities into transition-metal catalysts has become a promising strategy to improve catalytic performance, although their synthesis typically entails the preparation of sophisticated bifunctional ligands. We report here the facile and direct postsynthetic functionalization of rhodium(I) compound [(η5-C9H7)Rh(PPh3)2] (1) by treatment with perfluorinated boranes. Borane addition to 1 results in an unusual C(sp2)-H hydride migration from the indenyl ligand to the metal with the concomitant formation of a C-B bond. In the case of Piers' borane [HB(C6F5)2], this is followed by a subsequent hydride migration that leads to an unprecedented 1,2-hydrogen shift reminiscent of Milstein's cooperative dearomatization pathways. Computational investigations provide a mechanistic picture for the successive hydride-migration steps, which enriches the non-innocent chemistry of widespread indenyl ligands. Moreover, we demonstrate that the addition of Piers' borane is highly beneficial for catalysis, increasing catalyst efficiency up to 3 orders of magnitude.

A New Mechanism of Metal-Ligand Cooperative Catalysis in Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones.

Project description:We report iridium catalysts IrCl(η5-Cp*)(κ2-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2C6H4X) (1-Me, X = CH3 and 1-F, X = F) for transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol that operate by a previously unseen metal-ligand cooperative mechanism. Under the reaction conditions, complexes 1 (1-Me and 1-F) derivatize to a series of catalytic intermediates: Ir(η5-Cp*)(κ2-(C5H4N)CHNSO2Ar) (2), IrH(η5Cp*)(κ2-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2Ar) (3), and Ir(η5-Cp*)(κ3-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2Ar) (4). The structures of 1-Me and 4-Me were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A rate-determining, concerted hydrogen transfer step (2 + R2CHOH ⇄ 3 + R2CO) is suggested by kinetic isotope effects, Eyring parameters (ΔH ≠ = 29.1(8) kcal mol-1 and ΔS ≠ = -17(19) eu), proton-hydride fidelity, and DFT calculations. According to DFT, a nine-membered cyclic transition state is stabilized by an alcohol molecule that serves as a proton shuttle.

Silicalite-1 Layer Secures the Bifunctional Nature of a CO<sub>2</sub> Hydrogenation Catalyst.

Project description:Close proximity usually shortens the travel distance of reaction intermediates, thus able to promote the catalytic performance of CO2 hydrogenation by a bifunctional catalyst, such as the widely reported In2O3/H-ZSM-5. However, nanoscale proximity (e.g., powder mixing, PM) more likely causes the fast deactivation of the catalyst, probably due to the migration of metals (e.g., In) that not only neutralizes the acid sites of zeolites but also leads to the reconstruction of the In2O3 surface, thus resulting in catalyst deactivation. Additionally, zeolite coking is another potential deactivation factor when dealing with this methanol-mediated CO2 hydrogenation process. Herein, we reported a facile approach to overcome these three challenges by coating a layer of silicalite-1 (S-1) shell outside a zeolite H-ZSM-5 crystal for the In2O3/H-ZSM-5-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation. More specifically, the S-1 layer (1) restrains the migration of indium that preserved the acidity of H-ZSM-5 and at the same time (2) prevents the over-reduction of the In2O3 phase and (3) improves the catalyst lifetime by suppressing the aromatic cycle in a methanol-to-hydrocarbon conversion step. As such, the activity for the synthesis of C2 + hydrocarbons under nanoscale proximity (PM) was successfully obtained. Moreover, an enhanced performance was observed for the S-1-coated catalyst under microscale proximity (e.g., granule mixing, GM) in comparison to the S-1-coating-free counterpart. This work highlights an effective shielding strategy to secure the bifunctional nature of a CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.

Catalysis beyond frontier molecular orbitals: Selectivity in partial hydrogenation of multi-unsaturated hydrocarbons on metal catalysts.

Project description:The mechanistic understanding and control over transformations of multi-unsaturated hydrocarbons on transition metal surfaces remains one of the major challenges of hydrogenation catalysis. To reveal the microscopic origins of hydrogenation chemoselectivity, we performed a comprehensive theoretical investigation on the reactivity of two α,β-unsaturated carbonyls-isophorone and acrolein-on seven (111) metal surfaces: Pd, Pt, Rh, Ir, Cu, Ag, and Au. In doing so, we uncover a general mechanism that goes beyond the celebrated frontier molecular orbital theory, rationalizing the C═C bond activation in isophorone and acrolein as a result of significant surface-induced broadening of high-energy inner molecular orbitals. By extending our calculations to hydrogen-precovered surface and higher adsorbate surface coverage, we further confirm the validity of the "inner orbital broadening mechanism" under realistic catalytic conditions. The proposed mechanism is fully supported by our experimental reaction studies for isophorone and acrolein over Pd nanoparticles terminated with (111) facets. Although the position of the frontier molecular orbitals in these molecules, which are commonly considered to be responsible for chemical interactions, suggests preferential hydrogenation of the C═O double bond, experiments show that hydrogenation occurs at the C═C bond on Pd catalysts. The extent of broadening of inner molecular orbitals might be used as a guiding principle to predict the chemoselectivity for a wide class of catalytic reactions at metal surfaces.

Heterogeneous Nickel Catalysts Derived from 2D Metal-Organic Frameworks for Regulating the Selectivity of Furfural Hydrogenation.

Project description:Hydrolysis of the biomass platform compound furfural can produce a bulk of fine chemicals because of its multiple functional groups. Developing an efficient catalytic system to regulate the process toward some desirable products has always been a hot research area. Herein, the novel Ni-based catalysts (Ni-MFC-X, X = 300, 400...800) synthesized by pyrolysis of the 2D Ni-based metal-organic framework (MOF) in the temperature range 300-800 °C show good performance for selective hydrogenation of furfural (FUR). Interestingly, the calcination temperature of the MOF precursor plays an important role in hydrogenation of furfural with controllable selectivity toward furfuryl alcohol (FOL) and tetrahydro FOL (THFOL). Ni-MFC-500 affords us 92.5% conversion of furfural and 59.5% selectivity of FOL. Ni-MFC-700 can promote hydrogenation of furfural with 91.8% conversion and 51.0% selectivity of THFOL. Furthermore, the stability of as-obtained Ni-MFC-500 and Ni-MFC-700 was also very impressive in this reaction system.

High-performance light-driven heterogeneous CO2 catalysis with near-unity selectivity on metal phosphides.

Project description:Akin to single-site homogeneous catalysis, a long sought-after goal is to achieve reaction site precision in heterogeneous catalysis for chemical control over patterns of activity, selectivity and stability. Herein, we report on metal phosphides as a class of material capable of realizing these attributes and unlock their potential in solar-driven CO2 hydrogenation. Selected as an archetype, Ni12P5 affords a structure based upon highly dispersed nickel nanoclusters integrated into a phosphorus lattice that harvest light intensely across the entire solar spectral range. Motivated by its panchromatic absorption and unique linearly bonded nickel-carbonyl-dominated reaction route, Ni12P5 is found to be a photothermal catalyst for the reverse water gas shift reaction, offering a CO production rate of 960?±?12?mmol?gcat-1?h-1, near 100% selectivity and long-term stability. Successful extension of this idea to Co2P analogs implies that metal phosphide materials are poised as a universal platform for high-rate and highly selective photothermal CO2 catalysis.

Mediating trade-off between activity and selectivity in alkynes semi-hydrogenation via a hydrophilic polar layer.

Project description:As a crucial industrial process for the production of bulk and fine chemicals, semi-hydrogenation of alkynes faces the trade-off between activity and selectivity due to undesirable over-hydrogenation. By breaking the energy linear scaling relationships, we report an efficient additive-free WO3-based single-atom Pd catalytic system with a vertical size effect of hydrogen spillover. Hydrogen spillover induced hydrophilic polar layer (HPL) with limited thickness on WO3-based support exhibits unconventional size effect to Pd site, in which over-hydrogenation is greatly suppressed on Pd1 site due to the polar repulsive interaction between HPL and nonpolar C=C bonds, whereas this is invalid for Pd nanoparticles with higher altitudes. By further enhancing the HPL through Mo doping, activated Pd1/MoWO3 achieves recorded performance of 98.4% selectivity and 10200 h-1 activity for semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, 26-fold increase in activity of Lindlar catalyst. This observed vertical size effect of hydrogen spillover offers broad potential in catalytic performance regulation.

A general ligand design for gold catalysis allowing ligand-directed anti-nucleophilic attack of alkynes.

Project description:Most homogenous gold catalyses demand ? 0.5 mol% catalyst loading. Owing to the high cost of gold, these reactions are unlikely to be applicable in medium- or large-scale applications. Here we disclose a novel ligand design based on the privileged (1,1'-biphenyl)-2-ylphosphine framework that offers a potentially general approach to dramatically lowering catalyst loading. In this design, an amide group at the 3'-position of the ligand framework directs and promotes nucleophilic attack at the ligand gold complex-activated alkyne, which is unprecedented in homogenous gold catalysis considering the spatial challenge of using ligand to reach anti-approaching nucleophile in a linear P-Au-alkyne centroid structure. With such a ligand, the gold(I) complex becomes highly efficient in catalysing acid addition to alkynes, with a turnover number up to 99,000. Density functional theory calculations support the role of the amide moiety in directing the attack of carboxylic acid via hydrogen bonding.
