季膦盐型双功能金属Salen配合物催化二氧化碳转化为高附加值化学品

随着全球“温室效应”和能源危机的加剧,近几年二氧化碳作为一种丰富、无毒、廉价的碳一原料广受关注.目前,在温和条件下实现二氧化碳的化学转化仍然是一个十分具有挑战性的课题,其关键的科学问题是二氧化碳分子的有效活化.本文发现,在不添加任何助催化剂的条件下,季膦盐型双功能金属Salen配合物不仅能够以有机胺、含氢硅烷和二氧化碳为原料,在温和条件下通过N-甲酰化反应实现系列甲酰胺类衍生物的高效合成,而且能够催化二氧化碳和环氧化合物的环加成反应,从而实现环状碳酸酯的宏量制备.催化实验及动力学研究结果表明,该双功能催化剂通过金属活性中心和卤素阴离子之间的分子内协同催化作用,既可利用高活性锌氢键调控含氢硅烷中的硅氢键,又能通过高活性铝氧键激活环氧化物的三元环,进而导致二氧化碳的方便插入及高效活化.譬如:当使用1.0 mol％锌催化剂时,仅加入1倍当量的苯硅烷,在25℃C和0.5 MPa的条件下,反应6h后N-甲酰苯胺收率高达99％;而当使用0.5 mol％铝催化剂时,在100℃C和2.0 MPa的条件下反应2h,环加成反应转化率接近100％,环状碳酸酯选择性可达99％.另外,上述两个反应都表现出优异的底物扩展性,具有良好的官能团相容性.在此基础上通过构建反应动力学模型,采用在线红外跟踪技术,阐明了协同活化机制在二氧化碳催化转化过程中的作用原理及共性/个性规律,丰富并发展了二氧化碳活化的基本理论.最后,单组分催化剂可通过溶剂调变的方式很容易实现回收及再利用,表现出“均相催化,两相分离”的特点.循环使用五次后催化活性和选择性未见明显下降.

Comparative kinetic studies of the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and propylene oxide with carbon dioxide in the presence of chromium salen derivatives. In situ FTIR measurements of copolymer vs cyclic carbonate production

The catalysis of the reaction of carbon dioxide with epoxides (cyclohexene oxide or propylene oxide) using the (salen)Cr(III)Cl complex as catalyst, where H(2)salen = N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexenediimine (1), to provide copolymer and cyclic carbonate has been investigated by in situ infrared spectroscopy. As previously demonstrated for the cyclohexene oxide/CO(2) reaction in the presence of complex 1, coupling of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide was found to occur by way of a pathway first-order in catalyst concentration. Unlike the cyclohexene oxide/carbon dioxide reaction catalyzed by complex 1, which affords completely alternating copolymer and only small quantities of trans-cyclic cyclohexyl carbonate, under similar conditions propylene oxide/carbon dioxide produces mostly cyclic propylene carbonate. Comparative kinetic measurements were performed as a function of reaction temperature to assess the activation barrier for production of cyclic carbonates and polycarbonates for the two different classes of epoxides, i.e., alicyclic (cyclohexene oxide) and aliphatic (propylene oxide). As anticipated in both instances the unimolecular pathway for cyclic carbonate formation has a larger energy of activation than the bimolecular enchainment pathway. That is, the energies of activation determined for cyclic propylene carbonate and poly(propylene carbonate) formation were 100.5 and 67.6 kJ.mol(-1), respectively, compared to the corresponding values for cyclic cyclohexyl carbonate and poly(cyclohexylene carbonate) production of 133 and 46.9 kJ.mol(-1). The small energy difference in the two concurrent reactions for the propylene oxide/CO(2) process (33 kJ.mol(-1)) accounts for the large quantity of cyclic carbonate produced at elevated temperatures in this instance.     

Inter- and intramolecular phosphonium salt cocatalysis in cyclic carbonate synthesis catalysed by a bimetallic aluminium(salen) complex

Quaternary phosphonium salts can be used as cocatalysts for the conversion of epoxides and carbon dioxide into cyclic carbonates catalysed by bimetallic aluminium(salen) complexes at ambient temperature and one atmosphere pressure. The phosphonium groups could also be attached onto the salen ligands of the bimetallic aluminium(salen) complex to form one-component catalysts, and in this case the catalytic activity was heavily influenced by the solubility of the catalyst in the epoxide substrate. The results are consistent with a previously proposed catalytic cycle for cyclic carbonate synthesis catalysed by bimetallic aluminium(salen) complexes.     

Metal-Free Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Mediated by Cyclic(Alkyl)(Amino) Carbenes

Carbenes are known to activate carbon dioxide to form zwitterionic adducts. Their inherent metal-free redox activity remains understudied. Herein, we demonstrate that zwitterionic adducts of carbon dioxide formed with cyclic(alkyl)(amino) carbenes are not only redox active, but they can mediate the stoichiometric reductive disproportionation of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and carbonate. Infrared spectroelectrochemical experiments show that the reaction proceeds through an intermediate radical anion formed by one-electron reduction, ultimately generating a ketene product and carbonate in the absence of additional organic or inorganic reagents.     

Development of a Halide‐Free Aluminium‐Based Catalyst for the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from Epoxides and Carbon Dioxide

Kinetic studies of the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycidol and carbon dioxide have been carried out. These showed that under suitable reaction conditions, bimetallic aluminium(salen) complex 4 is able to catalyse the conversion of epoxides into the corresponding cyclic carbonates without the need for a co‐catalyst.     

Facile synthesis of polymers bearing cyclic carbonate structure through radical solution and precipitation polymerizations accompanied by concurrent carbon dioxide fixation

The radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was conducted under a carbon dioxide atmosphere (1 atm) in the presence of catalysts for the reaction of carbon dioxide and the oxirane group to afford the five‐membered cyclic carbonate group. The degrees of the carbon dioxide fixation depended on catalysts, concentration, and solvents. In solution reaction, the slower polymerizations resulted in faster carbon dioxide fixation, due to the faster carbon dioxide fixation to GMA than to oxirane moieties in polymers. When the polymerization was conducted in 1,4‐dioxane, which is a good solvent for polyGMA but a poor solvent for the analogous polymer bearing cyclic carbonate moieties, the resulting polymers were precipitated out as the progress of the polymerization and the carbon dioxide fixation. As a result, polymers could be isolated by simple filtration and rinsing with methanol. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 3170–3176, 2009     

Differences in Reactivity of Epoxides in the Copolymerisation with Carbon Dioxide by Zinc-Based Catalysts: Propylene Oxide versus Cyclohexene Oxide

The homogeneous dinuclear zinc catalyst going back to the work of Williams et al. is to date the most active catalyst for the copolymerisation of cyclohexene oxide and CO₂ at one atmosphere of carbon dioxide. However, this catalyst shows no copolymer formation in the copolymerisation reaction of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide, instead only cyclic carbonate is found. This behaviour is known for many zinc‐based catalysts, although the reasons are still unidentified. Within our studies, we focus on the parameters that are responsible for this typical behaviour. A deactivation of the catalyst due to a reaction with propylene oxide turns out to be negligible. Furthermore, the catalyst still shows poly(cyclohexene carbonate) formation in the presence of cyclic propylene carbonate, but the catalyst activity is dramatically reduced. In terpolymerisation reactions of CO₂ with different ratios of cyclohexene oxide to propylene oxide, no incorporation of propylene oxide can be detected, which can only be explained by a very fast back‐biting reaction. Kinetic investigations indicate a complex reaction network, which can be manifested by theoretical investigations. DFT calculations show that the ring strains of both epoxides are comparable and the kinetic barriers for the chain propagation even favour the poly(propylene carbonate) over the poly(cyclohexene carbonate) formation. Therefore, the crucial step in the copolymerisation of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide is the back‐biting reaction in the case of the studied zinc catalyst. The depolymerisation is several orders of magnitude faster for poly(propylene carbonate) than for poly(cyclohexene carbonate).     

Significant rate acceleration in carbonate synthesis from carbon dioxide and oxiranes using dimethyl carbonate as a recyclable medium

The synthesis of cyclic carbonates by the reaction of oxiranes and carbon dioxide in the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide in dimethylcarbonate without any metal catalyst is reported. Significant rate acceleration in the reaction is observed in dimethylcarbonate as compared to the other solvents. Under the reaction conditions of 100 °C and 2.1 MPa in dimethyl carbonate, maximum conversion and selectivity is achieved. The dimethylcarbonate containing tetrabutylammonium bromide catalyst can be easily recovered and reused for at least six recycles with the same selectivity.

Corrosion product formation on zinc-coated steel in wet supercritical carbon dioxide

In a wet supercritical carbon dioxide atmosphere, carbon dioxide is dissolved into water and causes corrosion of zinc-coated steel. The first corrosion products appeared in singular nano-scale initiation sites, which gradually grew in number and size and ultimately covered the whole surface. Zinc hydroxy carbonate was detected as a rapidly forming needle-like corrosion product, which prevailed at short exposure times (from minutes to hours). A prolonged exposure caused conversion of zinc hydroxy carbonate to anhydrous zinc carbonate with high crystallinity and a stable, dense layer was formed on zinc. The chemical transition from zinc hydroxy carbonate to anhydrous carbonate was reported for the first time and is in the light of current literature unique for wet scCO₂ atmosphere.
