Supported σ-Complexes of Li-C Bonds from Coordination of Monomeric Molecules of LiCH₃ , LiCH₂ CH₃ and LiC₆ H₅ to Mo≣Mo Bonds.

ABSTRACT: LiCH₃ and LiCH₂ CH₃ react with the complex [Mo₂ (H)₂ (μ-Ad^Dipp2 )₂ (thf)₂ ] (1⋅thf) with coordination of two molecules of LiCH₂ R (R=H, CH₃ ) and formation of complexes [Mo₂ {μ-HLi(thf)CH₂ R}₂ (Ad^Dipp2 )₂ ], 5⋅LiCH₃ and 5⋅LiCH₂ CH₃ , respectively (Ad^Dipp2 =HC(NDipp)₂ ; Dipp=2,6-ⁱ Pr₂ C₆ H₃ ; thf=C₄ H₈ O). Due to steric hindrance, only one molecule of LiC₆ H₅ adds to 1⋅thf generating the complex [Mo₂ (H){μ-HLi(thf)C₆ H₅ }(μ-Ad^Dipp2 )₂ ], (4⋅LiC₆ H₅ ). Computational studies disclose the existence of five-center six-electron bonding within the H-Mo≣Mo-C-Li metallacycles, with a mostly covalent H-Mo≣Mo-C group and predominantly ionic Li-C and Li-H interactions. However, the latter bonds exhibit non-negligible covalency, as indicated by X-ray, computational data and the large one-bond ^6,7 Li,¹ H and ^6,7 Li,¹³ C NMR coupling constants found for the three-atom H-Li-C chains. By contrast, the phenyl group in 4⋅LiC₆ H₅ coordinates in an η² fashion to the lithium atom through the ipso and one of the ortho carbon atoms.

Formation of toroidal Li2O2 in non-aqueous Li-O2 batteries with Mo2CT x MXene/CNT composite.

Project description:Due to the growing demand for high energy density devices, Li-O2 batteries are considered as a next generation energy storage system. The battery performance is highly dependent on the Li2O2 morphology, which arises from formation pathways such as the surface growth and the solution growth models. Thus, controlling the formation pathway is important in designing cathode materials. Herein for the first time, we controlled the Li2O2 formation pathway by using Mo2CT x MXene on a catalyst support. The cathode was fabricated by mixing the positively charged CNT/CTAB solution with the negatively charged Mo2CT x solution. After introducing Mo2CT x , important battery performance metrics were considerably enhanced. More importantly, the discharge product analysis showed that the functional groups on the surface of Mo2CT x inhibit the adsorption of O2 on the cathode surface, resulting in the formation of toroidal Li2O2 via the solution growth model. It was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations that adsorption of O2 on the Mo2CT x surface is implausible due to the large energy penalty for the O2 adsorption. Therefore, the introduction of MXene with abundant functional groups to the cathode surface can provide a cathode design strategy and can be considered as a universal method in generating toroidal Li2O2 morphology.

Ionic Association in CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3(PVDF)-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1, 4: A Computational Approach.

Project description:The ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes is governed by the ionic association caused by the polymer···Li+ and the anion···Li+ interactions. We performed the density functional calculation to analyze the molecular interactions in the CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1,4 systems. The gauche conformation is predicted in the lowest energy conformer of pure polymer except for n = 1. The lithium coordination number with the polymer is changed from 3 to 2 in the presence of anion for n = 2, 4 systems. The consequences of the Li+ ion and Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- to the vibrational spectrum are studied to understand the ionic association at the molecular level.

Multielectron transportation of polyoxometalate-grafted metalloporphyrin coordination frameworks for selective CO2-to-CH4 photoconversion.

Project description:Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into energy carriers is of utmost importance due to the rising concentrations of CO2 and the depleting energy resource. However, the highly selective generation of desirable hydrocarbon fuel, such as methane (CH4), from CO2 remains extremely challenging. Herein, we present two stable polyoxometalate-grafted metalloporphyrin coordination frameworks (POMCFs), which are constructed with reductive Zn-ϵ-Keggin clusters and photosensitive tetrakis(4-carboxylphenyl)porphyrin (H2TCPP) linkers, exhibiting high selectivity (>96%) for CH4 formation in a photocatalytic CO2-reduction system. To our knowledge, the high CH4 selectivity of POMCFs has surpassed all of the reported coordination-framework-based heterogeneous photocatalysts for CO2-to-CH4 conversion. Significantly, the introduction of a Zn-ϵ-keggin cluster with strong reducing ability is the important origin for POMCFs to obtain high photocatalytic selectivity for CH4 formation, considering that eight MoV atoms can theoretically donate eight electrons to fulfill the multielectron reduction process of CO2-to-CH4 transformation.

A one-dimensional porous carbon-supported Ni/Mo2C dual catalyst for efficient water splitting.

Project description:The development of active, stable and low-cost electrocatalysts towards both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for overall water splitting remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a new porous carbon-supported Ni/Mo2C (Ni/Mo2C-PC) composite catalyst derived by thermal treatment of nickel molybdate nanorods coated with polydopamine, which efficiently and robustly catalyses the HER and OER with striking kinetic metrics in alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst affords low onset potentials of -60 mV for the HER and 270 mV for the OER, as well as small overpotentials of 179 mV for the HER and 368 mV for the OER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. These results compare favorably to Mo2C-PC, Ni-PC, and most other documented Ni- and Mo-based catalysts. The high activity of Ni/Mo2C-PC is likely due to electron transfer from Ni to Mo2C, leading to a higher Ni valence and a lower Mo valence in the Ni/Mo2C-PC catalyst, as these are HER and OER active species and thus account for the enhanced activity. Remarkably, our home-made alkaline electrolyser, assembled with Ni/Mo2C-PC as a bifunctional catalyst, can enable a water-splitting current density of 10 mA cm-2 to be achieved at a low cell voltage of 1.66 V.

Silica-Supported PdGa Nanoparticles: Metal Synergy for Highly Active and Selective CO2-to-CH3OH Hydrogenation.

Project description:The direct conversion of CO2 to CH3OH represents an appealing strategy for the mitigation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Here, we report that small, narrowly distributed alloyed PdGa nanoparticles, prepared via surface organometallic chemistry from silica-supported GaIII isolated sites, selectively catalyze the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH. At 230 °C and 25 bar, high activity (22.3 molMeOH molPd -1 h-1) and selectivity for CH3OH/DME (81%) are observed, while the corresponding silica-supported Pd nanoparticles show low activity and selectivity. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), IR, NMR, and scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray provide evidence for alloying in the as-synthesized material. In situ XAS reveals that there is a dynamic dealloying/realloying process, through Ga redox, while operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy demonstrates that, while both methoxy and formate species are observed in reaction conditions, the relative concentrations are inversely proportional, as the chemical potential of the gas phase is modulated. High CH3OH selectivities, across a broad range of conversions, are observed, showing that CO formation is suppressed for this catalyst, in contrast to reported Pd catalysts.

Structural Properties of Gas-Phase Molybdenum Oxide Clusters [Mo4O13]2-, [HMo4O13]-, and [CH3Mo4O13]- Studied by Collision-Induced Dissociation.

Project description:Molybdenum oxide-based catalysts are widely used for the ammoxidation of toluene, methanation of CO, or hydrodeoxygenation. As a first step towards a gas-phase model system, we investigate here structural properties of mass-selected [Mo4O13]2-, [HMo4O13]-, and [CH3Mo4O13]- by a combination of collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments and quantum chemical calculations. According to calculations, the common structural motif is an eight-membered ring composed of four MoO2 units and four O atoms. The 13th O atom is located above the center of the ring and connects two to four Mo centers. For [Mo4O13]2- and [HMo4O13]-, dissociation requires opening or rearrangement of the ring structure, which is quite facile for the doubly charged [Mo4O13]2-, but energetically more demanding for [HMo4O13]-. In the latter case, the hydrogen atom is found to stay preferentially with the negatively charged fragments [HMo2O7]- or [HMoO4]-. The doubly charged species [Mo4O13]2- loses one MoO3 unit at low energies while Coulomb explosion into the complementary fragments [Mo2O6]- and [Mo2O7]- dominates at elevated collision energies. [CH3Mo4O13]- affords rearrangements of the methyl group with low barriers, preferentially eliminating formaldehyde, while the ring structure remains intact. [CH3Mo4O13]- also reacts efficiently with water, leading to methanol or formaldehyde elimination.

Ultra-High Electromagnetic Absorption Property of One-Dimensional Carbon-Supported Ni/Mo2C and Polyvinylidene Fluoride.

Project description:A novel one-dimensional carbon-supported Ni/Mo2C (Ni/Mo2C-C) nanocomposite with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties was successfully synthesized by annealing NiMoO4@PDA directly, and then the (Ni/Mo2C-C)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites were fabricated using a simple blending and hot-molding technique. An excellent reflection loss (RL) of -55.91 dB at 9.28 GHz with a low filler loading (15 wt%) and effective bandwidth (RL < -10 dB) of 14.12 GHz in the thickness range of 1.5-5.0 mm was obtained. Dielectric loss is considered to be the dominant mechanism of (Ni/Mo2C-C)/PVDF, which was confirmed by the Debye relaxation process and attenuation theory.

Emergence of a real-space symmetry axis in the magnetoresistance of the one-dimensional conductor Li0.9Mo6O17.

Project description:We report on an emerging symmetry axis in the magnetoresistance of bulk single crystals of quasi-one-dimensional Li0.9Mo6O17 below T min = 25 K, the temperature at which the electrical resistivity experiences a minimum. Detailed angle-dependent magnetoresistance sweeps reveal that this symmetry axis is induced by the development of a negative magnetoresistance, which is suppressed only for magnetic fields oriented along the poles of the MoO6 octahedra that form the conducting chains. We show that this unusual negative magnetoresistance is consistent with the melting of dark excitons, composed of previously omitted orbitals within the t 2g manifold that order below T min. The unveiled symmetry axis in directional magnetic fields not only provides evidence for the crystallization of these dark excitons but also sheds new light on the long-standing mystery of the metal-insulator transition in Li0.9Mo6O17.

Supported Nanostructured MoxC Materials for the Catalytic Reduction of CO2 through the Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction.

Project description:MoxC-based catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3, SiO2 and TiO2 were prepared, characterized and studied in the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) at 548-673 K and atmospheric pressure, using CO2:H2 = 1:1 and CO2:H2 = 1:3 mol/mol reactant mixtures. The support used determined the crystalline MoxC phases obtained and the behavior of the supported nanostructured MoxC catalysts in the RWGS. All catalysts were active in the RWGS reaction under the experimental conditions used; CO productivity per mol of Mo was always higher than that of unsupported Mo2C prepared using a similar method in the absence of support. The CO selectivity at 673 K was above 94% for all the supported catalysts, and near 99% for the SiO2-supported. The MoxC/SiO2 catalyst, which contains a mixture of hexagonal Mo2C and cubic MoC phases, exhibited the best performance for CO production.

Unsaturated Penta-Coordinated Mo5c5+ Sites Enabled Low-Temperature Oxidation of C-H Bonds in Ethers.

Project description:Selective oxidation of C-H bonds under mild conditions is one of the most important and challenging issues in utilization of energy-related molecules. Molybdenum oxide nanostructures containing Mo5+ species are effective for these reactions, but the accurate identification of the structure of active Mo5+ species and the catalytic mechanism remain unclear. Herein, unsaturated penta-coordinated Mo5c5+ with a high fraction in MoOx fabricated by the hydrothermal method were identified as the active sites for low-temperature oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) by the deep correlation of characterizations, density functional theory calculations, and activity results, giving a methyl formate selectivity of 96.3% and DME conversion of 12.5% at unreported 110 °C. Low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) and quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) with the designed experiments confirm that the Mo5c5+ species can be formed in situ. Molybdenum located at the pentachronic site is preferable to significantly promote the oxidation of the C-H bond in CH3O* at lower temperatures.
