[η5:σ-Me2C(C5H4)(C2B10H10)]Ru(NCCH3)2与中间炔的反应—— 钌环丁二烯和钌杂环戊三烯配合物的合成与结构

钌可以促使炔烃通过亚乙烯基钌卡宾金属配合物或钌金属杂环配合物的形式发生碳-碳偶联反应, 它的化学性质很大程度上取决于配体的电子和立体特征. 普通环戊二烯基钌配合物可以促使炔烃三聚生成苯环衍生物或使两分子炔烃和一分子含C=X键(X = C, O, S, N等)的不饱和底物发生环加成反应得到杂环化合物. 含桥联碳硼烷–环戊二烯基配体的钌乙腈配合物[η⁵:σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(NCCH₃)₂ (1)表现出与环戊二烯基钌不同的反应性质. 例如, 配合物1与三甲基硅基取代的端炔或中间炔反应可生成含有单或双亚乙烯基有机钌卡宾配合物; 与末端芳炔则通过三分子炔和桥联配体中的环戊二烯基发生加成反应得到含有独特三环结构的有机钌配合物. 以上结果表明, 配体的位阻效应和炔烃的种类都可以影响产物的类型. 本文进一步研究了此钌乙腈配合物1与烷基或芳基取代的中间炔及中间二炔的反应. 配合物1与3-己炔或二苯乙炔在甲苯中于 80 ℃反应可以生成对空气和水稳定的η⁴-钌-环丁二烯配合物[η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(η⁴-C4Et4) (2) 或 [η⁵:σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru(η4-C₄Ph₄) (3), 此反应相信是通过一个钌杂环戊三烯中间体进行的. 由于这个中间体既不能在反应中被分离到也不能在核磁反应中被监测到, 我们接下来尝试了1和1,6-二炔的反应. 在 1与2,7-壬二炔或3,8-十一碳二炔的反应中成功分离到钌杂环戊三烯配合物[η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru[=C₂- (Me)₂C₂(CH₂)₃] (4) 或 [η⁵: σ-Me₂C(C₅H₄)(C₂B₁₀H₁₀)]Ru[=C₂(Et)₂C₂(CH₂)₃] (5). 化合物4与5 在甲苯回流温度仍然稳定. 由于位阻效应, 它们也不与苯乙炔、3-己炔、苯基异氰酸酯、二硫化碳以及叔丁基异腈反应. 以上新化合物通过了核磁和元素分析表征, 其中化合物2和4的结构得到了单晶X射线衍射确定. 在化合物2的晶体结构中, 钌原子通过η⁵-键与环戊二烯基配位, σ-键与硼笼相连, 以及η⁴-键与环丁二烯配位, 形成一个平面三角形结构. 在化合物4的晶体结构中, 钌原子通过η⁵-键与环戊二烯基配位, σ-键与硼笼相连, 以及与两个碳卡宾原子配位, 形成一个扭曲四面体构型. 钌与碳卡宾原子之间的键长显示其为Ru=C双键. 在以上实验结果基础上我们提出了1与炔烃反应生成2和3的反应机理: 钌-乙腈配合物通过与炔烃的配体交换反应得到钌-二炔配合物, 进一步氧化偶联得到钌杂环戊三烯中间体, 还原消除反应得到最终产物?钌-环丁二烯配合物. 在1与二炔的反应中, 4和5中的并环结构可以阻止还原消除反应, 从而起到稳定钌杂环戊三烯中间体的作用. 上述实验结果表明, 桥联碳硼烷配体和底物(炔烃)的空间位阻效应都对反应有很大的影响.

Carbon Dioxide as a Raw Material: The Synthesis of Formic Acid and Its Derivatives from CO2

The use of carbon dioxide as a raw material for chemical syntheses is an ecologically and economically valuable extension to the carbon sources used at the present time. In order to convert the thermodynamically stable and comparatively unreactive CO₂ molecule into the desired product in an efficient manner, suitable reaction conditions and activation mechanisms must be found. The catalytic reduction of CO₂ to formic acid and its derivatives has been intensively studied in recent years. A number of new approaches to the synthesis of formic acid from CO₂ have reached such a state of knowledge that continuing development may well lead to industrial-scale operation in the near future. This can to a large extent be attributed to the fruitful interaction between investigative work into reaction mechanisms and the development of new catalytic systems.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation: Efficient catalysis by an NHC-amidate Pd(II) complex

The utilization of carbon dioxide as a carbon source has long been a challenge in modern organic chemistry due to its low reactivity, yet high abundance. Herein we demonstrate the highly efficient hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into formic acid in the presence of an NHC-amidate Pd(II) complex. Excellent turnover number was observed when the catalyst was used under heterolytic conditions. This catalytic system provides a new and efficient carbon dioxide hydrogenation method.     

Contribution of the ligand to the electroreduction of CO2 catalyzed by a cobalt(II) macrocyclic complex

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide using hexa-aza-macrocycles derived from the condensation of 1,10-phenanthroline and its Co(II) complex as an electrocatalyst dissolved in dimethylformamide has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy. The ligand does not show catalytic activity and only generates hydrogen when it is reduced under carbon dioxide. The cobalt complex shows electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of carbon dioxide, generating carbon monoxide and formic acid. Cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy show that the active site for the reduction is the metal center in oxidation state (I), although the reduced cobalt center alone is not enough to promote reduction of the carbon dioxide. Electrolysis at controlled potential shows that only at potentials corresponding to reduction of the ligand (second reduction) does carbon dioxide reduction occur. Cobalt(I) probably reacts with CO₂ forming a non-isolated intermediate which, when reduced, gives CO and formic acid. The second reduction that takes place on the ligand regenerates the catalyst and gives products, thus becoming the rate-determining step of the reaction.     

Formic acid reduction—XVII : Kinetic studies on the formic acid reduction of N-benzylideneaniline

The formic acid reduction of azomethine which has been reported² to proceed nearly quantitatively by the use of the formate reagent, 5HCO₂H·2NEt₃, was kinetically investigated by the carbon dioxide trapping and UV spectroscopic methods, using N-benzylideneaniline as a representative. Rate data gave the rate equation, v = (k + k′ [NEt₃])[N-benzylideneaniline][HCO₂H], indicating two-path mechanism. By the technique of using deuterated formic acids, it was found that the hydrogen bound to the carbon of formic acid is transferred as hydride to the carbon of the CN double bond in the rate determining step. The reaction is facilitated by the electron-releasing substituents of the two benzene rings of N-benzylideneaniline. On the bases of these results a possible mechanism is proposed.     

Carbon Dioxide to Methanol: The Aqueous Catalytic Way at Room Temperature

Carbon dioxide may constitute a source of chemicals and fuels if efficient and renewable processes are developed that directly utilize it as feedstock. Two of its reduction products are formic acid and methanol, which have also been proposed as liquid organic chemical carriers in sustainable hydrogen storage. Here we report that both the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid and the disproportionation of formic acid into methanol can be realized at ambient temperature and in aqueous, acidic solution, with an iridium catalyst. The formic acid yield is maximized in water without additives, while acidification results in complete (98 %) and selective (96 %) formic acid disproportionation into methanol. These promising features in combination with the low reaction temperatures and the absence of organic solvents and additives are relevant for a sustainable hydrogen/methanol economy.     

Controlling the Product Platform of Carbon Dioxide Reduction: Adaptive Catalytic Hydrosilylation of CO2 Using a Molecular Cobalt(II) Triazine Complex

The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is considered a major pillar of future sustainable energy systems and chemical industries based on renewable energy and raw materials. Typically, catalysts and catalytic systems are transforming CO₂ preferentially or even exclusively to one of the possible reduction levels and are then optimized for this specific product. Here, we report a cobalt‐based catalytic system that enables the adaptive and highly selective transformation of carbon dioxide individually to either the formic acid, the formaldehyde, or the methanol level, demonstrating the possibility of molecular control over the desired product platform.     

Oxidation of formic acid and carbon monoxide on gold electrodes studied by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and DFT.

The oxidation of formic acid and carbon monoxide was studied at a gold electrode by a combination of electrochemistry, in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, and first-principles DFT calculations. Comparison of the SERS results and the (field-dependent) DFT calculations strongly suggests that the relevant surface-bonded intermediate during oxidation of formic acid on gold is formate HCOO- ad*. Formate reacts to form carbon dioxide via two pathways: at low potentials, with a nearby water to produce carbon dioxide and a hydronium ion; at higher potentials, with surface-bonded hydroxyl (or oxide) to give carbon dioxide and water. In the former pathway, the rate-determining step is probably related to the reaction of surface-bonded formate with water, as measurements of the reaction order imply a surface almost completely saturated with adsorbate. The potential dependence of the rate of the low-potential pathway is presumably governed by the potential dependence of formate coverage. There is no evidence for CO formation on gold during oxidation of formic acid. The oxidation of carbon monoxide must involve the carboxyhydroxyl intermediate, but SERS measurements do not reveal this intermediate during CO oxidation, most likely because of its low surface coverage, as it is formed after the rate-determining step. Based on inconclusive spectroscopic evidence for the formation of surface-bonded OH at potentials substantially below the surface oxidation region, the question whether surface-bonded carbon monoxide reacts with surface hydroxyl or with water to form carboxyhydroxyl and carbon dioxide remains open. The SERS measurements show the existence of both atop and bridge-bonded CO on gold from two distinguishable low-frequency modes that agree very well with DFT calculations.     

Metal-Organic Frameworks-derived Indium Clusters/Carbon Nanocomposites for Efficient CO2 Electroreduction

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide into value-added products is a promising way to recycle the greenhouse gas, thus solving the crisis of global warming. Pressing challenges remain in regulating the catalytic selectivity. In this work, we demonstrated a metal-organic frameworks-assisted approach to synthesizing In species loaded on the surface of N doped carbon matrix. By controlling the particle sizes, the catalytic selectivity can be easily altered. The obtained In_c/NC possesses the outstanding capability for converting CO₂ into CO. And 80.09% Faraday efficiency (FE) of CO can be achieved at 0.8 V vs. RHE. While the In₂O₃/C exhibits different catalytic behaviors, the main product is formic acid and the FE is more than 50% at 0.8 V vs. RHE. The selectivity reversal can be attributed to the strong interactions between In clusters and N atoms of carbon supports, which efficiently inhibits the formation of the by-product, formic acid. Our research has paved a new way to modulate catalytic selectivity by manipulating the fine structures of the catalysts.
