Pyrithione metal (Cu, Ni, Ru) complexes as photo-catalysts for styrene oxide production.

ABSTRACT: Selective photochemical oxidation of styrene was performed in an active acetonitrile medium, using H₂O₂ with or without ultraviolet (UV) light radiation. Pyrithione metal complexes (M-Pth: M = Cu(II), Ni(II), Ru(II); Pth = 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide) were used as catalysts. Catalytic testing measurements were done by varying the time, chemical reaction temperature and H₂O₂ concentration with or without UV energy. Epoxide styrene oxide (SO), benzaldehyde and acetophenone were the major synthesized products. A high batch rate, conversion and selectivity towards SO was shown in the presence of UV. A minor constant formation of CO₂ was observed in the stream. Coordinated Ru-based compounds demonstrated the highest process productivity of SO at 60 °C. The effect of the functional alkyl substituent on the ligand Pth, attached to the specific ruthenium(II) centre, decreased the activity of the substance. Ni-Pth selectively yielded benzaldehyde. The stability of the catalysts was examined by applying nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry. Tested metal complexes with pyrithione (M-Pth) exhibited excellent reuse recyclability up to 3 cycles.

Transition Metal Pyrithione Complexes (Ni, Mn, Fe, and Co) as Electrocatalysts for Proton Reduction of Acetic Acid.

Project description:A series of mononuclear first-row transition metal pyrithione M(pyr) n complexes (M = Ni(II), Mn(II), n = 2; M = Co(III), Fe(III), n = 3) have been prepared from the reaction of the corresponding metal salt with the sodium salt of pyrithione. Using cyclic voltammetry, the complexes have been shown to behave as proton reduction electrocatalysts albeit with varying efficiencies in the presence of acetic acid as the proton source in acetonitrile. The nickel complex displays the optimal overall catalytic performance with an overpotential of 0.44 V. An ECEC mechanism is suggested for the nickel-catalyzed system based on the experimental data and supported by density functional theory calculations.

Pure Acetylene Semihydrogenation over Ni-Cu Bimetallic Catalysts: Effect of the Cu/Ni Ratio on Catalytic Performance.

Project description:Ethylene is an important chemical raw material and with the increasing consumption of petroleum resources, the production of ethylene through the calcium carbide acetylene route has important research significance. In this work, a series of bimetallic catalysts with different Cu/Ni molar ratios are prepared by co-impregnation method for the hydrogenation of calcium carbide acetylene to ethylene. The introduction of an appropriate amount of Cu effectively inhibits not only the formation of ethane and green oil, thus increasing the selectivity of ethylene, but also the formation of carbon deposits, which improves the stability of the catalyst. The ethylene selectivity of the Ni-Cu bimetallic catalyst increases from 45% to 63% compared with the Ni monometallic counterpart and the acetylene conversion still can reach 100% at the optimal conditions of 250 °C, 8000 mL·g-1·h-1 and V(H2)/V(C2H2) = 3. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the metal particles were highly dispersed on the support, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and H2-Temperature programmed reduction proved that there was an interaction between Ni and Cu, combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations results, Cu transferred electrons to Ni changed the Ni electron cloud density in NiCux catalysts, thus reducing the adsorption of acetylene and ethylene, which is favorable to ethylene selectivity.

Synergy in Lignin Upgrading by a Combination of Cu-Based Mixed Oxide and Ni-Phosphide Catalysts in Supercritical Ethanol.

Project description:The depolymerization of lignin to bioaromatics usually requires a hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) step to lower the oxygen content. A mixed Cu-Mg-Al oxide (CuMgAlO x ) is an effective catalyst for the depolymerization of lignin in supercritical ethanol. We explored the use of Ni-based cocatalysts, i.e. Ni/SiO2, Ni2P/SiO2, and Ni/ASA (ASA = amorphous silica alumina), with the aim of combining lignin depolymerization and HDO in a single reaction step. While the silica-supported catalysts were themselves hardly active in lignin upgrading, Ni/ASA displayed comparable lignin monomer yield as CuMgAlO x . A drawback of using an acidic support is extensive dehydration of the ethanol solvent. Instead, combining CuMgAlO x with Ni/SiO2 and especially Ni2P/SiO2 proved to be effective in increasing the lignin monomer yield, while at the same time reducing the oxygen content of the products. With Ni2P/SiO2, the lignin monomer yield was 53 wt %, leading to nearly complete deoxygenation of the aromatic products.

Efficient cleavage of aryl ether C-O linkages by Rh-Ni and Ru-Ni nanoscale catalysts operating in water.

Project description:Bimetallic Ru-Ni and Rh-Ni nanocatalysts coated with a phase transfer agent efficiently cleave aryl ether C-O linkages in water in the presence of hydrogen. For dimeric substrates with weaker C-O linkages, i.e. ?-O-4 and ?-O-4 bonds, low loadings of the precious metal (Rh or Ru) in the nanocatalysts quantitatively afford monomers, whereas for the stronger 4-O-5 linkage higher amounts of the precious metal are required to achieve complete conversion. Under the optimized, relatively mild operating conditions, the C-O bonds in a range of substituted ether compounds are efficiently cleaved, and mechanistic insights into the reaction pathways are provided. This work paves the way to sustainable approaches for the hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds.

Development of tethered dual catalysts: synergy between photo- and transition metal catalysts for enhanced catalysis.

Project description:While dual photocatalysis-transition metal catalysis strategies are extensively reported, the majority of systems feature two separate catalysts, limiting the potential for synergistic interactions between the catalytic centres. In this work we synthesised a series of tethered dual catalysts allowing us to investigate this underexplored area of dual catalysis. In particular, Ir(i) or Ir(iii) complexes were tethered to a BODIPY photocatalyst through different tethering modes. Extensive characterisation, including transient absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, suggest that there are synergistic interactions between the catalysts. The tethered dual catalysts were more effective at promoting photocatalytic oxidation and Ir-catalysed dihydroalkoxylation, relative to the un-tethered species, highlighting that increases in both photocatalysis and Ir catalysis can be achieved. The potential of these catalysts was further demonstrated through novel sequential reactivity, and through switchable reactivity that is controlled by external stimuli (heat or light).

Inverse iron oxide/metal catalysts from galvanic replacement.

Project description:Key chemical transformations require metal and redox sites in proximity at interfaces; however, in traditional oxide-supported materials, this requirement is met only at the perimeters of metal nanoparticles. We report that galvanic replacement can produce inverse FeOx/metal nanostructures in which the concentration of oxide species adjoining metal domains is maximal. The synthesis involves reductive deposition of rhodium or platinum and oxidation of Fe2+ from magnetite (Fe3O4). We discovered a parallel dissolution and adsorption of Fe2+ onto the metal, yielding inverse FeOx-coated metal nanoparticles. This nanostructure exhibits the intrinsic activity in selective CO2 reduction that simple metal nanoparticles have only at interfaces with the support. By enabling a simple way to control the surface functionality of metal particles, our approach is not only scalable but also enables a versatile palette for catalyst design.

Support morphology-dependent alloying behaviour and interfacial effects of bimetallic Ni-Cu/CeO2 catalysts.

Project description:The impregnation method is commonly employed to prepare supported multi-metallic catalysts but it is often difficult to achieve homogeneous and stable alloy structures. In this work, we revealed the dependence of alloying behavior on the support morphology by fabricating Ni-Cu over different shaped CeO2. Specifically, nanocube ceria favoured the formation of monometallic Cu and Ni-rich phases whereas polycrystalline and nanorod ceria induced the formation of a mixture of Cu-rich alloys with monometallic Ni. Surprisingly, nanopolyhedron (NP) ceria led to the generation of homogeneous Ni-Cu nanoalloys owing to the equivalent interactions of Ni and Cu species with CeO2 (111) facets which exposed relatively few coordinative unsaturated sites. More importantly, a strong interfacial effect was observed for Ni-Cu/CeO2-NP due to the presence of CeO x adjacent to metal sites at the interface, resulting in excellent stability of the alloy structure. With the aid of CeO x , NiCu nanoalloys showed outstanding catalytic behaviour in acetylene and hexyne hydrogenation reactions. This study provides valuable insights into how fully alloyed and stable catalysts may be prepared by tailoring the support morphology while still employing a universal impregnation method.

Cu Promoted the Dynamic Evolution of Ni-Based Catalysts for Polyethylene Terephthalate Plastic Upcycling.

Project description:Upcycling plastic wastes into value-added chemicals is a promising approach to put end-of-life plastic wastes back into their ecocycle. As one of the polyesters that is used daily, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste is employed here as the model substrate. Herein, a nickel (Ni)-based catalyst was prepared via electrochemically depositing copper (Cu) species on Ni foam (NiCu/NF). The NiCu/NF formed Cu/CuO and Ni/NiO/Ni(OH)2 core-shell structures before electrolysis and reconstructed into NiOOH and CuOOH/Cu(OH)2 active species during the ethylene glycol (EG) oxidation. After oxidation, the Cu and Ni species evolved into more reduced species. An indirect mechanism was identified as the main EG oxidation (EGOR) mechanism. In EGOR, NiCu60s/NF catalyst exhibited an optimal Faradaic efficiency (FE, 95.8%) and yield rate (0.70 mmol cm-2 h-1) for formate production. Also, over 80% FE of formate was achieved when a commercial PET plastic powder hydrolysate was applied. Furthermore, commercial PET plastic water bottle waste was employed as a substrate for electrocatalytic upcycling, and pure terephthalic acid (TPA) was recovered only after 1 h electrolysis. Lastly, density functional theory (DFT) calculation revealed that the key role of Cu was significantly reducing the Gibbs free-energy barrier (ΔG) of EGOR's rate-determining step (RDS), promoting catalysts' dynamic evolution, and facilitating the C-C bond cleavage.

Fabrication of Zn-Cu-Ni Ternary Oxides in Nanoarrays for Photo-Enhanced Pseudocapacitive Charge Storage.

Project description:To meet the increasing demands of energy consumption, sustainable energy sources such as solar energy should be better employed to promote electrochemical energy storage. Herein, we fabricated a bifunctional photoelectrode composed of copper foam (CF)-supported zinc-nickel-copper ternary oxides in nanoarrays (CF@ZnCuNiOx NAs) to promote photo-enhanced pseudocapacitive charge storage. The as-fabricated CF@ZnCuNiOx NAs have shown both photosensitive and pseudocapacitive characteristics, demonstrating a synergistic effect on efficient solar energy harvest and conversion. As a result, a high areal specific capacitance of 2741 mF cm-2 (namely 418 μAh cm-2) under light illumination can be calculated at 5 mA cm-2, which delivered photo-enhancement of 38.3% compared to that obtained without light. In addition, the photoelectric and photothermal effects of the light energy on pseudocapacitive charge storage have been preliminarily studied and compared. This work may provide some evidence on the different mechanisms of photoelectric/thermal conversion for developing solar-driven energy storage devices.

Stereogenic-at-metal Zn- and Al-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as bifunctional catalysts in Cu-free enantioselective allylic alkylations.

Project description:Investigations detailed herein demonstrate the ability of chiral bidentate N-heterocyclic carbenes to promote directly-without the need for a Cu salt-site- and enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions. Within this context, catalytic allylic alkylations of various allylic phosphates with dialkylzinc and trialkylaluminum reagents, performed with chiral bidentate imidazolinium salts and in the absence of a Cu salt, are described. The Cu-free transformations deliver products bearing tertiary or (all-carbon) quaternary stereogenic centers with exceptional site- (>98:<2 S(N)2':S(N)2) and high enantioselectivity [up to 97.5:2.5 enantiomer ratio (er)]. A chiral Zn-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex, which serves as the catalyst for the enantioselective allylic alkylation reactions, is isolated and fully characterized. Spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that the sulfonate group within the stereogenic-at-Zn bidentate complexes coordinates syn to the proximal phenyl substituent of the NHC backbone (vs the initially expected anti). Investigations regarding a related NHC-Al complex reveal similar structural attributes. The studies outlined provide a plausible rationale regarding the mechanism of Cu-free allylic alkylation reactions that involve dialkylzinc or trialkylaluminum reagents as well as the previously reported alkylmagnesium halides. On the basis of the research disclosed, it is proposed that bidentate metal-carbene complexes can serve as effective bifunctional catalysts, a critical attribute that differentiates such NHC-based complexes from the corresponding monodentate variants.
