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.

Coordination of LiH Molecules to Mo≣Mo Bonds: Experimental and Computational Studies on Mo2LiH2, Mo2Li2H4, and Mo6Li9H18 Clusters.

Project description:The reactions of LiAlH4 as the source of LiH with complexes that contain (H)Mo≣Mo and (H)Mo≣Mo(H) cores stabilized by the coordination of bulky AdDipp2 ligands result in the respective coordination of one and two molecules of (thf)LiH, with the generation of complexes exhibiting one and two HLi(thf)H ligands extending across the Mo≣Mo bond (AdDipp2 = HC(NDipp)2; Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3; thf = tetrahydrofuran, C4H8O). A theoretical study reveals the formation of Mo-H-Li three-center-two-electron bonds, supplemented by the coordination of the Mo≣Mo bond to the Li ion. Attempts to construct a [Mo2{HLi(thf)H}3(AdDipp2)] molecular architecture led to spontaneous trimerization and the formation of a chiral, hydride-rich Mo6Li9H18 supramolecular organization that is robust enough to withstand the substitution of lithium-solvating molecules of tetrahydrofuran by pyridine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine.

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.

Manipulating local coordination of copper single atom catalyst enables efficient CO2-to-CH4 conversion.

Project description:Electrochemical CO2 conversion to methane, powered by intermittent renewable electricity, provides an entrancing opportunity to both store renewable electric energy and utilize emitted CO2. Copper-based single atom catalysts are promising candidates to restrain C-C coupling, suggesting feasibility in further protonation of CO* to CHO* for methane production. In theoretical studies herein, we find that introducing boron atoms into the first coordination layer of Cu-N4 motif facilitates the binding of CO* and CHO* intermediates, which favors the generation of methane. Accordingly, we employ a co-doping strategy to fabricate B-doped Cu-Nx atomic configuration (Cu-NxBy), where Cu-N2B2 is resolved to be the dominant site. Compared with Cu-N4 motifs, as-synthesized B-doped Cu-Nx structure exhibits a superior performance towards methane production, showing a peak methane Faradaic efficiency of 73% at -1.46 V vs. RHE and a maximum methane partial current density of -462 mA cm-2 at -1.94 V vs. RHE. Extensional calculations utilizing two-dimensional reaction phase diagram analysis together with barrier calculation help to gain more insights into the reaction mechanism of Cu-N2B2 coordination structure.

Theoretical Study of the Photochemical Mechanisms of the Electronic Quenching of NO(A2Σ+) with CH4, CH3OH, and CO2.

Project description:The electronic quenching of NO(A2Σ+) with molecular partners occurs through complex non-adiabatic dynamics that occurs on multiple coupled potential energy surfaces. Moreover, the propensity for NO(A2Σ+) electronic quenching depends heavily on the strength and nature of the intermolecular interactions between NO(A2Σ+) and the molecular partner. In this paper, we explore the electronic quenching mechanisms of three systems: NO(A2Σ+) + CH4, NO(A2Σ+) + CH3OH, and NO(A2Σ+) + CO2. Using EOM-EA-CCSD calculations, we rationalize the very low electronic quenching cross-section of NO(A2Σ+) + CH4 as well as the outcomes observed in previous NO + CH4 photodissociation studies. Our analysis of NO(A2Σ+) + CH3OH suggests that it will undergo facile electronic quenching mediated by reducing the intermolecular distance and significantly stretching the O-H bond of CH3OH. For NO(A2Σ+) + CO2, intermolecular attractions lead to a series of low-energy ON-OCO conformations in which the CO2 is significantly bent. For both the NO(A2Σ+) + CH3OH and NO(A2Σ+) + CO2 systems, we see evidence of the harpoon mechanism and low-energy conical intersections between NO(A2Σ+) + M and NO(X2Π) + M. Overall, this work provides the first detailed theoretical study on the NO(A2Σ+) + M potential energy surface of each of these systems and will inform future velocity map imaging experiments.

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.
