Facile Solvent-Free Synthesis of Metal Thiophosphates and Their Examination as Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalysts.

Project description:The facile solvent-free synthesis of several known metal thiophosphates was accomplished by a chemical exchange reaction between anhydrous metal chlorides and elemental phosphorus with sulfur, or combinations of phosphorus with molecular P2S5 at moderate 500 °C temperatures. The crystalline products obtained from this synthetic approach include MPS3 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) and Cu3PS4. The successful reactions benefit from thermochemically favorable PCl3 elimination. This solvent-free route performed at moderate temperatures leads to mixed anion products with complex heteroatomic anions, such as P2S64-. The MPS3 phases are thermally metastable relative to the thermodynamically preferred separate MPx/ MSy and more metal-rich MPxSy phases. The micrometer-sized M-P-S products exhibit room-temperature optical and magnetic properties consistent with isolated metal ion structural arrangements and semiconducting band gaps. The MPS3 materials were examined as electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) under acidic conditions. In terms of HER activity at lower applied potentials, the MPS3 materials show the trend of Co > Ni >> Fe. Extended time constant potential HER experiments show reasonable HER stability of ionic and semiconducting MPS3 (M = Co, Ni) structures under acidic reducing conditions.

Demonstration of Green Solvent Performance on O,S,N-Heterocycles Synthesis: Metal-Free Click Chemistry and Buchwald-Hartwig Coupling.

Project description:The development of new and greener approaches to organic synthesis has been a trend in recent years. Continuing the latest publications of our team, in this work, we demonstrate the efficiency of three solvents: eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) for the synthesis of O,S,N-heterocyclic compounds.

Solvent-Free C-3 Coupling of Azaindoles with Cyclic Imines.

Project description:By direct coupling 7-azaindole and cyclic imines, such as 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline, 6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine, 3,4-dihydro-β-carboline, and 4,5-dihydro-3H-benz[c]azepine, new 3-substituted 7-azaindole derivatives have been synthesized. The reaction was extended to 4-azaindoles and 6-azaindoles, as electron-rich aromatic compounds. The lowest reactivity was observed in the case of C-3 substitution of 5-azaindole. In this case, the aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction took place by using 10 mol % of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) as the catalyst. The role of the acid catalyst can be explained by the different pKa values of the azaindoles. All reactions were performed in solvent-free conditions by using both classical heating and microwave irradiation. In all cases, microwave heating proved to be more convenient to synthesize new C-3-substituted azaindole derivatives.

Solvent-Free Coupling Reaction of Carbon Dioxide and Epoxides Catalyzed by Quaternary Ammonium Functionalized Schiff Base Metal Complexes under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A series of bifunctional Schiff base metal catalysts (Zn-NPClR, Zn-NPXH, and M-NPClH) with two quaternary ammonium groups were prepared for carbon dioxide (CO2) and epoxide coupling reactions. The effects of the reaction variables on the catalytic activity were systematically investigated, and the optimal reaction conditions (120 °C, 1 MPa CO2, 3 h) were screened. The performances of different metal-centered catalysts were evaluated, and Co-NPClH showed excellent activity. This kind of bifunctional catalyst has a wide range of substrate applicability, excellent stability, and can be reused for more than five runs. A relatively high TOF could reach up to 1416 h-1 with Zn-NPClH as catalyst by adjusting reaction factors. In addition, the kinetic study of the coupling reaction catalyzed by three catalysts (Zn, Co, and Ni) was carried out to obtain the activation energy (Ea) for the formation of cyclic carbonates. Finally, a possible mechanism for this cyclization reaction was proposed.

Stealth polymeric vesicles via metal-free click coupling.

Project description:The strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition represents an optimal metal-free method for the modular coupling of amphiphilic polymer blocks. Hydrophilic poly(oxazoline) (PMOXA) or poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) A-blocks were coupled with a hydrophobic poly(siloxane) B-block to provide triblock copolymers capable of self-assembling into vesicular nanostructures. Stealth properties investigated via a complement activation assay revealed the superior in vitro stealth attributes of polymeric vesicles synthesized via a metal-free approach to those coupled via the widely used copper-catalyzed click method. Furthermore, the ability to change a single parameter, such as the hydrophilic block, allowed the direct comparison of the biocompatibility properties of triblock copolymers containing PMOXA or PEG. Our studies convincingly demonstrate the need for a metal-free approach, both in preventing cytotoxicity while imparting optimal stealth properties for potential biomedical applications.

Light-enabled metal-free pinacol coupling by hydrazine.

Project description:Efficient carbon-carbon bond formation is of great importance in modern organic synthetic chemistry. The pinacol coupling discovered over a century ago is still one of the most efficient coupling reactions to build the C-C bond in one step. However, traditional pinacol coupling often requires over-stoichiometric amounts of active metals as reductants, causing long-lasting metal waste issues and sustainability concerns. A great scientific challenge is to design a metal-free approach to the pinacol coupling reaction. Herein, we describe a light-driven pinacol coupling protocol without use of any metals, but with N2H4, used as a clean non-metallic hydrogen-atom-transfer (HAT) reductant. In this transformation, only traceless non-toxic N2 and H2 gases were produced as by-products with a relatively broad aromatic ketone scope and good functional group tolerance. A combined experimental and computational investigation of the mechanism suggests that this novel pinacol coupling reaction proceeds via a HAT process between photo-excited ketone and N2H4, instead of the common single-electron-transfer (SET) process for metal reductants.

Facile Synthesis of Enzyme-Embedded Metal-Organic Frameworks for Size-Selective Biocatalysis in Organic Solvent.

Project description:In situ immobilization of enzyme into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is performed through a one-step and facile method. Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) is directly embedded in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 by simply mixing an aqueous solution of 2-methylimidazole and zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2?6H2O] containing CalB at room temperature. Due to the intrinsic micropores of ZIF-8, the obtained CalB@ZIF composite is successfully applied in size-selective transesterification reaction in organic solvent. CalB@ZIF not only shows much higher catalytic activity but also exhibits higher thermal stability than free CalB. Besides, the robust ZIF-8 shell also offers the hybrid composites excellent reusability.

Metal-Free Aryl Cross-Coupling Directed by Traceless Linkers.

Project description:The metal-free, highly selective synthesis of biaryls poses a major challenge in organic synthesis. The scope and mechanism of a promising new approach to (hetero)biaryls by the photochemical fusion of aryl substituents tethered to a traceless sulfonamide linker (photosplicing) are reported. Interrogating photosplicing with varying reaction conditions and comparison of diverse synthetic probes (40 examples, including a suite of heterocycles) showed that the reaction has a surprisingly broad scope and involves neither metals nor radicals. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the C-C bond is formed by an intramolecular photochemical process that involves an excited singlet state and traversal of a five-membered transition state, and thus consistent ipso-ipso coupling results. These results demonstrate that photosplicing is a unique aryl cross-coupling method in the excited state that can be applied to synthesize a broad range of biaryls.

Mechanochemical and solvent-free assembly of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:We develop the first mechanochemical and solvent-free routes for zirconium metal-organic frameworks, making the frameworks UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 accessible on the gram scale without strong acids, high temperatures or excess reactants. The frameworks form either by milling, or spontaneous self-assembly by simply exposing solid mixtures of reactants to organic vapour. The generated frameworks exhibit high porosity and catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of model nerve agents, on par with their solvothermally generated counterparts.
