Electrocatalytic synthesis of multicarbon (C2+) products from CO2 reduction suffers from poor selectivity and low energy efficiency. Herein, a facile oxidation–reduction cycling method is adopted to reconstruct the Cu electrode surface with the help of halide anions. The surface composed of entangled Cu nanowires with hierarchical pores is synthesized in the presence of I, exhibiting a C2 faradaic efficiency (FE) of 80% at −1.09 V vs. RHE. A partial current density of 21 mA cm−2 is achieved with a C2 half-cell power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 39% on this electrode. Such high selective C2 production is found to mainly originate from CO intermediate enrichment inside hierarchical pores rather than the surface lattice effect of the Cu electrode.

The Cu electrode surface is reconstructed by a halide anion assisted method for promoting CO2 reduction.  相似文献

The mono- and dianions of CO2 (i.e., CO2 and CO22−) have been studied for decades as both fundamentally important oxycarbanions (anions containing only C and O atoms) and as critical species in CO2 reduction and fixation chemistry. However, CO2 anions are highly unstable and difficult to study. As such, examples of stable compounds containing these ions are extremely limited; the unadulterated alkali salts of CO2 (i.e., MCO2, M2CO2, M = alkali metal) decompose rapidly above 15 K, for example. Herein we report the chemical reduction of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) adduct of CO2 at room temperature by alkali metals, which results in the formation of CAAC-stabilized alkali CO2 and CO22− clusters. One-electron reduction of CAAC–CO2 adduct (1) with lithium, sodium or potassium metal yields stable monoanionic radicals [M(CAAC–CO2)]n (M = Li, Na, K, 2–4) analogous to the alkali CO2 radical, and two-electron alkali metal reduction affords dianionic clusters of the general formula [M2(CAAC–CO2)]n (5–8) with reduced CO2 units which are structurally analogous to the carbonite anion CO22−. It is notable that crystalline clusters of these alkali–CO2 salts may also be isolated via the “one-pot” reaction of free CO2 with free CAAC followed by the addition of alkali metals – a process which does not occur in the absence of carbene. Each of the products 2–8 was investigated using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods.

The direct chemical reduction of CAACCO2 adducts by alkali metals to yield multinuclear clusters is reported. The mono- and dianions of CO2 have been studied for decades and are fundamentally important oxycarbanions and critical species in CO2 fixation chemistry.  相似文献

Herein, we report a novel amino acid based reaction system for CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) to produce formates in the presence of the naturally occurring amino acid l-lysine. Utilizing a specific ruthenium-based catalyst system, hydrogenation of absorbed carbon dioxide occurs with high activity and excellent productivity. Noteworthy, following the CCU concept, CO2 can be captured from ambient air in the form of carbamates and converted directly to formates in one-pot (TON > 50 000). This protocol opens new potential for transforming captured CO2 from ambient air to C1-related products.

A novel amino acid based reaction system for CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) to produce formates is presented applying a ruthenium-based catalyst. Noteworthy, CO2 can be captured from ambient air and converted to formates in one-pot (TON > 50 000).  相似文献

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions at carbon center are well known to proceed with the stereospecific Walden-inversion mechanism. Reaction dynamics simulations on a newly developed high-level ab initio analytical potential energy surface for the F + NH2Cl nitrogen-centered SN2 and proton-transfer reactions reveal a hydrogen-bond-formation-induced multiple-inversion mechanism undermining the stereospecificity of the N-centered SN2 channel. Unlike the analogous F + CH3Cl SN2 reaction, F + NH2Cl → Cl + NH2F is indirect, producing a significant amount of NH2F with retention, as well as inverted NH2Cl during the timescale within the unperturbed NH2Cl molecule gets inverted with only low probability, showing the important role of facilitated inversions via an FH…NHCl-like transition state. Proton transfer leading to HF + NHCl is more direct and becomes the dominant product channel at higher collision energies.

Multiple-inversion, the analogue of the double-inversion pathway recently revealed for SN2@C, is the key mechanism in SN2 at N center undermining stereospecificity.  相似文献

Electronic interactions can radically enhance the performance of supported metal catalysts and are critical for fundamentally understanding the nature of catalysts. However, at the microscopic level, the details of such interactions tuning the electronic properties of the sites on the metal particle''s surface and metal–support interface remain obscure. Herein, we found polarized electronic metal–support interaction (pEMSI) in oxide-supported Pd nanoparticles (NPs) describing the enhanced accumulation of electrons at the surface of NPs (superficial Pdδ) with positive Pd atoms distributed on the interface (interfacial Pdδ+). More superficial Pdδ species mean stronger pEMSI resulting from the synergistic effect of moderate Pd–oxide interaction, high structural fluxionality and electron transport activity of Pd NPs. The surface Pdδ species are responsible for improved catalytic performance for H2 evolution from metal hydrides and formates. These extensive insights into the nature of supported-metal NPs may open new avenues for regulating a metal particle''s electronic structure precisely and exploiting high-performance catalysts.

A new type of electronic effect, polarized metal-support interaction (pEMSI), in oxide-supported Pd nanoparticles describing the enhanced accumulation of electrons at the superficial surface is responsible for improved catalytic H2 evolution.  相似文献

High proton conducting electrolytes with mechanical moldability are a key material for energy devices. We propose an approach for creating a coordination polymer (CP) glass from a protic ionic liquid for a solid-state anhydrous proton conductor. A protic ionic liquid (dema)(H2PO4), with components which also act as bridging ligands, was applied to construct a CP glass (dema)0.35[Zn(H2PO4)2.35(H3PO4)0.65]. The structural analysis revealed that large Zn–H2PO4/H3PO4 coordination networks formed in the CP glass. The network formation results in enhancement of the properties of proton conductivity and viscoelasticity. High anhydrous proton conductivity (σ = 13.3 mS cm−1 at 120 °C) and a high transport number of the proton (0.94) were achieved by the coordination networks. A fuel cell with this CP glass membrane exhibits a high open-circuit voltage and power density (0.15 W cm−2) under dry conditions at 120 °C due to the conducting properties and mechanical properties of the CP glass.

A proton-conducting coordination polymer glass derived from a protic ionic liquid works as a moldable solid electrolyte and the anhydrous fuel cell showed IV performance of 0.15 W cm−2 at 120 °C.  相似文献

Here, we report the nitric oxide monooxygenation (NOM) reactions of a CoIII-nitrosyl complex (1, {Co-NO}8) in the presence of mono-oxygen reactive species, i.e., a base (OH, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) or NaOH/15-crown-5), an oxide (O2− or Na2O/15-crown-5) and water (H2O). The reaction of 1 with OH produces a CoII-nitrito complex {3, (CoII-NO2)} and hydrogen gas (H2), via the formation of a putative N-bound Co-nitrous acid intermediate (2, {Co-NOOH}+). The homolytic cleavage of the O–H bond of proposed [Co-NOOH]+ releases H2via a presumed CoIII-H intermediate. In another reaction, 1 generates CoII-NO2 when reacted with O2−via an expected CoI-nitro (4) intermediate. However, complex 1 is found to be unreactive towards H2O. Mechanistic investigations using 15N-labeled-15NO and 2H-labeled-NaO2H (NaOD) evidently revealed that the N-atom in CoII-NO2 and the H-atom in H2 gas are derived from the nitrosyl ligand and OH moiety, respectively.

Base-induced hydrogen (H2) gas evolution in the nitric oxide monoxygenation reaction.

As a radical species, nitric oxide (NO) has attracted great interest from the scientific community due to its major role in various physiological processes such as neurotransmission, vascular regulation, platelet disaggregation and immune responses to multiple infections.1 Nitric oxide synthase (NOS),2 and nitrite reductase (NiR)3 enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of NO. NOSs produce NO by the oxidation of the guanidine nitrogen in l-arginine.4 However, in mammals and bacteria, NO2 is reduced to NO by NiRs in the presence of protons, i.e., NO2 + e + 2H+ → NO + H2O.5 Biological dysfunctions may cause overproduction of NO, and being radical it leads to the generation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS), i.e., peroxynitrite (PN, OONO)6 and nitrogen dioxide (˙NO2),7 upon reaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2˙),8 peroxide (H2O2),9 and dioxygen (O2).10 Hence, it is essential to maintain an optimal level of NO. In this regard, nitric oxide dioxygenases (NODs)11 are available in bio-systems to convert excess NO to biologically benign nitrate (NO3).12NO2 + FeII + H+ ↔ NO + FeIII + OH1[M–NO]n + 2OH → [M–NO2](n−2) + H2O2NOD enzymes generate NO3 from NO;11b,12−13 however, the formation of NO2 from NO is still under investigation. Clarkson and Bosolo reported NO2 formation in the reaction of CoIII-NO and O2.14 Nam and co-workers showed the generation of CoII-NO2 from CoIII-NO upon reaction with O2˙.15 Recently, Mondal and co-workers reported NO2 formation in the reaction of CoII-NO with O2.16 Apart from cobalt, the formation of CuII-NO2 was also observed in the reaction of CuI-NO and O2.17 For metal-dioxygen adducts, i.e., CrIII-O2˙ and MnIV-O22−, NOD reactions led to the generation of CrIII-NO2 (ref. 18) and MnV Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 O + NO2,19 respectively. However, the NOD reaction of FeIII-O2˙ and FeIII-O22− with NO and NO+, respectively, generated FeIII-NO3via FeIV Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 O and ˙NO2.20 Ford suggested that the reaction of ferric-heme nitrosyl with hydroxide leads to the formation of NO2 and H+.12 Lehnert and co-workers reported heme-based Fe-nitrosyl complexes21 showing different chemistries due to the FeII-NO+ type electronic structures. On the other hand, Bryan proposed that the one-electron reduction of NO2 to NO in ferrous heme protein is reversible (eqn (1)).22 Also, it is proposed that excess NO in biological systems is converted to NO2 and produces one equivalent of H+ upon reaction with ˙OH.23 Previously reported reactivity of M–NOs of Fe24 with OH suggested the formation of NO2 and one equivalent of H+, where H+ further reacts with one equivalent of OH and produces H2O (eqn (2)).25Here in this report, we explore the mechanistic aspects of nitric oxide monooxygenation (NOM) reactions of the CoIII-nitrosyl complex, [(12TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+/{Co(NO)}8 (1),15,26 bearing the 12TMC ligand (12TMC = 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) with mono-oxygen reactive species (O2−, OH and H2O) (Scheme 1). Complex 1 reacts with the base (OH, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)/or NaOH in the presence of 15-crown-5 as the OH source) and generates the corresponding CoII-nitrito complex, [(12TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (3), with the evolution of hydrogen gas (H2) via the formation of a plausible N-bound Co-nitrous acid intermediate ([Co-NOOH]+, 2) in CH3CN at 273 K (Scheme 1, reaction (I)). Also, when 1 reacts with the oxide (O2− or Na2O in the presence of 15-crown-5), it generates the CoII-nitrito complex (3) via a probable CoI-nitro, [(12TMC)CoI(NO2)] (4), intermediate (Scheme 1, reaction (II)); however, 1 does not react with water (Scheme 1, reaction (III)). Mechanistic investigations using 15N-labeled-15NO, D-labeled-NaOD and 18O-labelled-18OH demonstrated, unambiguously, that the N and O-atoms in the NO2 ligand of 3 resulted from NO and OH moieties; however, the H-atoms of H2 are derived from OH. To the extent of our knowledge, the present work reports the very first systematic study of CoIII-nitrosyl complex reactions with H2O, OH and O2−. This new finding presents an alternative route for NO2 generation in biosystems, and also illustrates a new pathway of H2 evolution, in addition to the reported literature.12,27Open in a separate windowScheme 1Nitric oxide monooxygenation (NOM) reactions of cobalt-nitrosyl complex (1) in the presence of a base (OH), sodium oxide (Na2O) and water (H2O).To further explore the chemistry of [(12TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ (1),15,26 and the mechanistic insights of NOM reactions, we have reacted it with a base (OH), an oxide (O2−), and water (H2O). When complex 1 was reacted with TBAOH in CH3CN, the color of complex 1 changed to light pink from dark pink. In this reaction, the characteristic absorption band of 1 (370 nm) disappears within 2 minutes (Fig. 1a; ESI, Experimental section (ES) and Fig. S1a), producing a CoII-nitrito complex, [(12TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (3), with H2 (Scheme 1, reaction (Ib)), in contrast to the previous reports on base induced NOM reactions (eqn (2)).12,25,28 The spectral titration data confirmed that the ratio-metric equivalent of OH to 1 was 1 : 1 (ESI, Fig. S1b). 3 was determined to be [(12TMC)CoII(NO2)](BF4) based on various spectroscopic and structural characterization experiments (vide infra).15,26bOpen in a separate windowFig. 1(a) UV-vis spectral changes of 1 (0.50 mM, black line) upon addition of OH (1 equiv.) in CH3CN under Ar at 273 K. Black line (1) changed to red line (3) upon addition of OH. Inset: IR spectra of 3-14NO2 (blue line) and 3-15NO2 (red line) in KBr. (b) ESI-MS spectra of 3. The peak at 333.2 is assigned to [(12TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (calcd m/z 333.1). Inset: isotopic distribution pattern for 3-14NO2 (red line) and 3-15NO2 (blue line).The FT-IR spectrum of 3 showed a characteristic peak for nitrite stretching at 1271 cm−1 (CoII-14NO2) and shifted to 1245 cm−1 (CoII-15NO2) when 3 was prepared by reacting 15N-labeled NO (CoIII-15NO) with OH (Inset, Fig. 1a and Fig. S2). The shifting of NO2 stretching (Δ = 30 cm−1) indicates that the N-atom in the NO2 ligand is derived from CoIII-15NO. The ESI-MS spectrum of 3 showed a prominent peak at m/z 333.2, [(12TMC)CoII(14NO2)]+ (calcd m/z 333.2), which shifted to 334.2, [(12TMC)CoII(15NO2)]+ (calcd m/z 334.2), when the reaction was performed with CoIII-15NO (Inset, Fig. 1b; ESI, Fig. S3a); indicating clearly that NO2 in 3 was derived from the NO moiety of 1. In addition, we have reacted 1 with Na18OH (ES and ESI), in order to follow the source of the second O-atom in 3-NO2. The ESI-MS spectrum of the reaction mixture, obtained by reacting 1 with Na18OH, showed a prominent peak at m/z 335.2, [(12TMC)CoII(18ONO)]+ (calcd m/z 335.2), (SI, Fig. S3b) indicating clearly that NO2 in 3 was derived from 18OH. The 1H NMR spectrum of 3 did not show any signal for aliphatic protons of the 12TMC ligand, suggesting a bivalent cobalt center (Fig. S4).26b Furthermore, we have determined the magnetic moment of 3, using Evans'' method, and it was found to be 4.62 BM, suggesting a high spin Co(ii) metal center with three unpaired electrons (ESI and ES).29 The exact conformation of 3 was provided by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis (Fig. 2b, ESI, ES, Fig. S5, and Tables T1 and T2) and similar to that of previously reported CoII-NO2/MII-NO2.15,26b Also, we have quantified the amount of nitrite (90 ± 5%), formed in the above reaction, using the Griess reagent (ESI, ES, and Fig. S6).Open in a separate windowFig. 2Displacement ellipsoid plot (20% probability) of 3 at 100 K. Disordered C-atoms of the TMC ring, anion and H-atoms have been removed for clarity.As is known from the literature, a metal-nitrous acid intermediate may form either by the reaction of a metal-nitrosyl with a base27 or by the metal-nitrite reaction with an acid (nitrite reduction chemistry);26b however, the products of both the reactions are different. Here, for the first time, we have explored the reaction of CoIII-nitrosyl (1) with a base. In this reaction, it is clear that the formation of CoII-nitrito would be accomplished by the release of H2 gas via the generation of a transient N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate (Scheme 2, reaction (II)). The formation of CoII-NO2 (3) from the [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate is likely to proceed by either (i) homolytic cleavage of the O–H bond and release of H2via the proposed CoIII-H transient species (CoIII-H = CoII + 1/2H2)30 (Scheme 2, reaction (III)), as reported in previous literature where the reduced cobalt, in a number of different ligand environments, is a good H+ reduction catalyst and generates H2 gas via a CoIII-H intermediate31 or (ii) heterolytic cleavage of the O–H bond and the formation of CoI-NO2 + H+.27 In the present study, we observed the formation of 3 and H2via the plausible homolytic cleavage of the NOO–H moiety of 2 as shown in Scheme 2, in contrast to the previous reports on base-induced reactions on metal-nitrosyls (eqn (3)).27 Taking together both possibilities, (i) is the most reasonable pathway for the NOM reaction of complex 1 in the presence of a base (as shown in Scheme 2, reaction (III)). And the reaction is believed to go through a CoIII-H intermediate as reported previously in CoI-induced H+ reduction in different ligand frameworks and based on literature precedence, we believe that complex 1 acts in a similar manner.31Open in a separate windowScheme 2NOM reaction of complex 1 in the presence of OH, showing the generation of CoII-nitrito (3) and H2via a Co(iii)-hydrido intermediate.In contrast to an O-bound CoII-ONOH intermediate, where N–O bond homolysis of the ON-OH moiety generates H2O2 (Scheme 2, reaction (IV)),26b the N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate decomposes to form NO2 and a Co(iii)-H transient species, arising from β-hydrogen transfer from the NOO–H moiety to the cobalt-center (Scheme 2, reaction (II)).30a,c,32 The Co(iii)-hydrido species may generate H2 gas either (a) by its transformation to the Co(ii)-nitrito complex (2) and H2 gas as observed in the case of CoIII-H intermediate chemistry30a,c,e−g as proposed in the chemistry of the CoI complex with H+ reduction31 and other metal-hydrido intermediates32 and also explained in O2 formation in PN chemistry17,33 or (b) by the reacting with another [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate (Scheme 2, reaction (III)).Furthermore, we have confirmed the H2 formation in the NOM reaction of 1 with OH by headspace gas mass spectrometry (Fig. 3a). Also, carrying out the reaction of 1 with NaOD leads to the formation of the [Co-(NOOD)]+ intermediate, which then transforms to a CoIII-D transient species. Further, as described above, the CoIII-D species releases D2 gas, detected by headspace gas mass spectrometry (Fig. 3b), which evidently established that H2 gas formed in the reaction of 1 with OH. In this regard, we have proposed that in the first step of this reaction, the nucleophilic addition of OH to {Co-NO}8 generates a transient N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate that is generated by an internal electron transfer to CoIII (Scheme 2, reaction (I)). By following the mechanism proposed in the case of CoIII-H,30a−c O2,15 and H2O2(ref. 26b) formation, we have proposed the sequences of the NOM reaction of 1, which leads to the generation of CoII-nitrito and H2 (Scheme 2, reaction (I)–(III) and Scheme 3). In the second step, O–H bond homolytic cleavage generates a CoIII-H transient species + NO2via a β-hydrogen elimination reaction of the [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate.32 The CoIII-H intermediate may undergo the following reactions to generate H2 gas and CoII-nitrito either (a) by the natural decomposition of the CoIII-H transient species to generate H2,30a,c,e−g or (b) by the H-atom abstraction from another [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate (Scheme 3). Also, to validate our assumption that the reaction goes through a plausible N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate followed by its transformation to the CoIII-H species (vide supra), we have performed the reaction of 1 with NaOH/NaOD (in 1 : 1 ratio). In this reaction, we have observed the formation of a mixture of H2, D2, and HD gases, which indicates clearly that the reaction goes through the formation of CoIII-H and CoIII-D transient species via the aforementioned mechanism (Fig. 3c). This is the only example where tracking of the H atoms has confirmed the H2 generation from an N-bound NOO–H moiety as proposed for H2 formation from CoIII-H.30Open in a separate windowFig. 3Mass spectra of formation of (a) H2 in the reaction of 1 (5.0 mM) with NaOH (5.0 mM), (b) D2 in the reaction of 1 (5.0 mM) with NaOD (5.0 mM), (c) D2, HD, and H2 in the reaction of 1 (5.0 mM) with NaOD/NaOH (1 : 1), and (d) H2 in the reaction of 1 (5.0 mM) with NaOH in the presence of 2,4 DTBP (50 mM).Open in a separate windowScheme 3NOM reaction of complex 1 in the presence of OH, showing the different steps of the reaction.While, we do not have direct spectral evidence to support the formation of the transient N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate and its decomposition to the CoIII-H transient species via β-hydrogen transfer from the NOOH moiety to the cobalt center, support for its formation comes from our finding that the reactive hydrogen species can be trapped by using 2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenol (2,4-DTBP).34 In this reaction, we observed the formation of 2,4-DTBP-dimer (2,4-DTBP-D, ∼67%) as a single product (ESI, ES, and Fig. S7). This result can readily be explained by the H-atom abstraction reaction of 2,4-DTBP either by [Co-(NOOH)]+ or CoIII-H, hence generating a phenoxyl-radical and 3 with H2 (Fig. 3d and Scheme 2, reaction (a)). Also, we have detected H2 gas formation in this reaction (ESI, ES, and Fig. 3d). In the next step, two phenoxyl radicals dimerized to give 2,4-DTBP-dimer (Scheme 2c, reaction (II)). Thus, the observation of 2,4-DTBP-dimer in good yield supports the proposed reaction mechanism (Scheme 2, reaction (a) and (b)). Further, the formation of 2,4 DTBP as a single product also rules out the formation of the hydroxyl radical as observed in the case of an O-bound nitrous acid intermediate.26bFurthermore, we have explored the NOM reactivity of 1 with Na2O/15-crown-5 (as the O2− source) and observed the formation of the CoII-nitrito complex (3) via a plausible CoI-nitro (4) intermediate (Scheme 1, reaction (IIa); also see the ESI and ES); however, 1 was found to be inert towards H2O (Scheme 1, reaction (III); also see the ESI, ES and Fig. S8). The product obtained in the reaction of 1 with O2− was characterized by various spectroscopic measurements.15,26b The UV-vis absorption band of 1 (λmax = 370 nm) disappears upon the addition of 1 equiv. of Na2O and a new band (λmax = 535 nm) forms, which corresponds to 3 (ESI, Fig. S9). The FT-IR spectrum of the isolated product of the above reaction shows a characteristic peak for CoII-bound nitrite at 1271 cm−1, which shifts to 1245 cm−1 when exchanged with 15N-labeled-NO (15N16O) (ESI, ES, and Fig. S10), clearly indicating the generation of nitrite from the NO ligand of complex 1.26b The ESI-MS spectrum recorded for the isolated product (vide supra) shows a prominent ion peak at m/z 333.1, and its mass and isotope distribution pattern matches with [(12-TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (calc. m/z 333.1) (ESI, Fig. S11). Also, we quantified the amount of 3 (85 ± 5%) by quantifying the amount of nitrite (85 ± 5%) using the Griess reagent test (ESI, ES, and Fig. S6).In summary, we have demonstrated the reaction of CoIII-nitrosyl, [(12-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+/{CoNO}8 (1), with mono-oxygen reactive species (O2−, OH and H2O) (Scheme 1). For the first time, we have established the clear formation of a CoII-nitrito complex, [(12TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (3), and H2 in the reaction of 1 with one equivalent of OHvia a transient N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ (2) intermediate. This [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate undergoes the O–H bond homolytic cleavage and generates a CoIII-H transient species with NO2, via a β-hydrogen elimination reaction of the [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate, which upon decomposition produces H2 gas. This is in contrast to our previous report, where acid-induced nitrite reduction of 3 generated 1 and H2O2via an O-bound CoII-ONOH intermediate.26b Complex 1 was found to be inert towards H2O; however, we have observed the formation of 3 when reacted with O2−. It is important to note that H2 formation involves a distinctive pathway of O–H bond homolytic cleavage in the [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate, followed by the generation of the proposed CoIII-H transient species (CoII + 1/2H2)30 prior to H2 evolution as described in CoI chemistry with H+ in many different ligand frameworks.31 The present study is the first-ever report where the base induced NOM reaction of CoIII-nitrosyl (1) leads to CoII-nitrito (3) with H2 evolution via an N-bound [Co-(NOOH)]+ intermediate, in contrast to the chemistry of O-bound CoII-ONOH26b, hence adding an entirely new mechanistic insight of base induced H2 gas evolution and an additional pathway for NOM reactions.  相似文献

Two-phenoxy walled calix[4]pyrroles 1 and 2 strapped with small rigid linkers containing pyridine and benzene, respectively, have been synthesized. 1H NMR spectroscopic analyses carried out in CDCl3 revealed that both of receptors 1 and 2 recognize only F and HCO3 among various test anions with high preference for HCO3 (as the tetraethylammonium, TEA+ salt) relative to F (as the TBA+ salt). The bound HCO3 anion was completely released out of the receptors upon the addition of F (as the tetrabutylammonium, TBA+ salt) as a result of significantly enhanced affinities and selectivities of the receptors for F once converted to the TEAHCO3 complexes. Consequently, relatively stable TEAF complexes of receptors 1 and 2 were formed via anion metathesis occurring within the receptor cavities. By contrast, the direct addition of TEAF to receptors 1 and 2 produces different complexation products initially, although eventually the same TEAF complexes are produced as via sequential TEAHCO3 and TBAF addition. These findings are rationalized in terms of the formation of different ion pair complexes involving interactions both inside and outside of the core receptor framework.

The inherent selectivity of anion receptors can be reversed by ion pairing occurring both inside and outside of the receptor cavity.  相似文献

Oxide-derived copper (OD-Cu) has been discovered to be an effective catalyst for the electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products. The structure of OD-Cu and its surface species during the reaction process are interesting topics, which have not yet been clearly discussed. Herein, in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and 18O isotope labeling experiments were employed to investigate the surface species and structures of OD-Cu catalysts during CO2 electroreduction. It was found that the OD-Cu catalysts were reduced to metallic Cu(0) in the reaction. CuOx species existed on the catalyst surfaces during the CO2RR, which resulted from the adsorption of preliminary intermediates (such as *CO2 and *OCO) on Cu instead of on the active sites of the catalyst. It was also found that abundant interfaces can be produced on OD-Cu, which can provide heterogeneous CO adsorption sites (strong binding sites and weak binding sites), leading to outstanding performance for obtaining C2+ products. The Faradaic efficiency (FE) for C2+ products reached as high as 83.8% with a current density of 341.5 mA cm−2 at −0.9 V vs. RHE.

CuOx species were shown to exist on OD-Cu during the CO2RR, which resulted from the adsorption of preliminary intermediates (such as *CO2 and *OCO) on Cu instead of on the active sites of the catalyst.  相似文献

Designing solid-state electrolytes for proton batteries at moderate temperatures is challenging as most solid-state proton conductors suffer from poor moldability and thermal stability. Crystal–glass transformation of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) via melt-quenching offers diverse accessibility to unique properties as well as processing abilities. Here, we synthesized a glassy-state CP, [Zn3(H2PO4)6(H2O)3](1,2,3-benzotriazole), that exhibited a low melting temperature (114 °C) and a high anhydrous single-ion proton conductivity (8.0 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 120 °C). Converting crystalline CPs to their glassy-state counterparts via melt-quenching not only initiated an isotropic disordered domain that enhanced H+ dynamics, but also generated an immersive interface that was beneficial for solid electrolyte applications. Finally, we demonstrated the first example of a rechargeable all-solid-state H+ battery utilizing the new glassy-state CP, which exhibited a wide operating-temperature range of 25 to 110 °C.

Melt-quenched coordination polymer glass shows exclusive H+ conductivity (8.0 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 120 °C, anhydrous) and optimal mechanical properties (42.8 Pa s at 120 °C), enables the operation of an all-solid-state proton battery from RT to 110 °C.  相似文献

Loading Ag and Co dual cocatalysts on Al-doped SrTiO3 (AgCo/Al-SrTiO3) led to a significantly improved CO-formation rate and extremely high selectivity toward CO evolution (99.8%) using H2O as an electron donor when irradiated with light at wavelengths above 300 nm. Furthermore, the CO-formation rate over AgCo/Al-SrTiO3 (52.7 μmol h−1) was a dozen times higher than that over Ag/Al-SrTiO3 (4.7 μmol h−1). The apparent quantum efficiency for CO evolution over AgCo/Al-SrTiO3 was about 0.03% when photoirradiated at a wavelength at 365 nm, with a CO-evolution selectivity of 98.6% (7.4 μmol h−1). The Ag and Co cocatalysts were found to function as reduction and oxidation sites for promoting the generation of CO and O2, respectively, on the Al-SrTiO3 surface.

Deposition Ag and Co dual cocatalysts onto Al-SrTiO3 significantly improves its activity for photoreduction of CO2 by H2O, with extremely high selectivity to CO evolution (99.8%), in which Ag and Co enable CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation, respectively.  相似文献

Metal–organic frameworks constructed from multiple (≥3) components often exhibit dramatically increased structural complexity compared to their 2 component (1 metal, 1 linker) counterparts, such as multiple chemically unique pore environments and a plurality of diverse molecular diffusion pathways. This inherent complexity can be advantageous for gas separation applications. Here, we report two isoreticular multicomponent MOFs, bMOF-200 (4 components; Cu, Zn, adeninate, pyrazolate) and bMOF-201 (3 components; Zn, adeninate, pyrazolate). We describe their structures, which contain 3 unique interconnected pore environments, and we use Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) along with the climbing image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method to predict potential H2/CO2 separation ability of bMOF-200. We examine the H2/CO2 separation performance using both column breakthrough and membrane permeation studies. bMOF-200 membranes exhibit a H2/CO2 separation factor of 7.9. The pore space of bMOF-201 is significantly different than bMOF-200, and one molecular diffusion pathway is occluded by coordinating charge-balancing formate and acetate anions. A consequence of this structural difference is reduced permeability to both H2 and CO2 and a significantly improved H2/CO2 separation factor of 22.2 compared to bMOF-200, which makes bMOF-201 membranes competitive with some of the best performing MOF membranes in terms of H2/CO2 separations.

The surface cation composition of nanoscale metal oxides critically determines the properties of various functional chemical processes including inhomogeneous catalysts and molecular sensors. Here we employ a gradual modulation of cation composition on a ZnO/(Cu1−xZnx)O heterostructured nanowire surface to study the effect of surface cation composition (Cu/Zn) on the adsorption and chemical transformation behaviors of volatile carbonyl compounds (nonanal: biomarker). Controlling cation diffusion at the ZnO(core)/CuO(shell) nanowire interface allows us to continuously manipulate the surface Cu/Zn ratio of ZnO/(Cu1−xZnx)O heterostructured nanowires, while keeping the nanowire morphology. We found that surface exposed copper significantly suppresses the adsorption of nonanal, which is not consistent with our initial expectation since the Lewis acidity of Cu2+ is strong enough and comparable to that of Zn2+. In addition, an increase of the Cu/Zn ratio on the nanowire surface suppresses the aldol condensation reaction of nonanal. Surface spectroscopic analysis and theoretical simulations reveal that the nonanal molecules adsorbed at surface Cu2+ sites are not activated, and a coordination-saturated in-plane square geometry of surface Cu2+ is responsible for the observed weak molecular adsorption behaviors. This inactive surface Cu2+ well explains the mechanism of suppressed surface aldol condensation reactions by preventing the neighboring of activated nonanal molecules. We apply this tailored cation composition surface for electrical molecular sensing of nonanal and successfully demonstrate the improvements of durability and recovery time as a consequence of controlled surface molecular behaviors.

Unexpected features of surface Cu2+ on ZnO/(Cu1−xZnx)O nanowires for molecular transformation and electrical sensing of carbonyl compounds were found.  相似文献

Powered by a renewable electricity source, electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction is a promising solution to facilitate the carbon balance. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a desired product with commercial current density and high efficiency. Herein we designed quasi-square-shaped cadmium hydroxide nanocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction to CO. It was discovered that the catalyst is very active and selective for the reaction. The current density could be as high as 200 mA cm−2 with a nearly 100% selectivity in a commonly used H-type cell using the ionic liquid-based electrolyte. In addition, the faradaic efficiency of CO could reach 90% at a very low overpotential of 100 mV. Density functional theory studies and control experiments reveal that the outstanding performance of the catalyst was attributed to its unique structure. It not only provides low Cd–O coordination, but also exposes high activity (002) facet, which requires lower energy for the formation of CO. Besides, the high concentration of CO can be achieved from the low concentration CO2via an adsorption-electrolysis device.

Heterogeneous biocatalytic hydrogenation is an attractive strategy for clean, enantioselective C Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 X reduction. This approach relies on enzymes powered by H2-driven NADH recycling. Commercially available carbon-supported metal (metal/C) catalysts are investigated here for direct H2-driven NAD+ reduction. Selected metal/C catalysts are then used for H2 oxidation with electrons transferred via the conductive carbon support material to an adsorbed enzyme for NAD+ reduction. These chemo-bio catalysts show improved activity and selectivity for generating bioactive NADH under ambient reaction conditions compared to metal/C catalysts. The metal/C catalysts and carbon support materials (all activated carbon or carbon black) are characterised to probe which properties potentially influence catalyst activity. The optimised chemo-bio catalysts are then used to supply NADH to an alcohol dehydrogenase for enantioselective (>99% ee) ketone reductions, leading to high cofactor turnover numbers and Pd and NAD+ reductase activities of 441 h−1 and 2347 h−1, respectively. This method demonstrates a new way of combining chemo- and biocatalysis on carbon supports, highlighted here for selective hydrogenation reactions.

Biradicaloid compounds with an open-shell ground state have been the subject of intense research in the past decade. Although diindenoacenes are one of the most developed families, only a few examples have been reported as active layers in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with a charge mobility of around 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1 due to a steric disadvantage of the mesityl group to kinetically stabilize compounds. Herein, we disclose our efforts to improve the charge transport of the diindenoacene family based on hexahydro-diindenopyrene (HDIP) derivatives with different annelation modes for which the most reactive position has been functionalized with (triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl (TIPS) groups. All the HDIP derivatives show remarkably higher stability than that of TIPS-pentacene, enduring for 2 days to more than 30 days, which depends on the oxidation potential, the contribution of the singlet biradical form in the ground state and the annelation mode. The annelation mode affects not only the band gap and the biradical character (y0) but also the value of the singlet–triplet energy gap (ΔES–T) that does not follow the reverse trend of y0. A method based on comparison between experimental and theoretical bond lengths has been disclosed to estimate y0 and shows that y0 computed at the projected unrestricted Hartree–Fock (PUHF) level is the most relevant among those reported by all other methods. Thanks to their high stability, thin-film OFETs were successfully fabricated. Well balanced ambipolar transport was obtained in the order of 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1 in the bottom-gate/top-contact configuration, and unipolar transport in the top-gate/bottom-contact configuration was obtained in the order of 10−1 cm2 V−1 s−1 which is the highest value obtained for biradical compounds with a diindenoacene skeleton.

Biradicaloid HDIP derivatives show that the ΔES–T gap does not follow the reverse trend of the biradical character but depends more on the delocalization of the radical centres at the outer rings.  相似文献

The [fac-Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br] complex is capable of catalyzing the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with high selectivity, moderate activity and large overpotential. Several attempts have been made to lower the overpotential and to enhance the catalytic activity of this complex by manipulating the second-coordination sphere of manganese and using relatively stronger acids to promote the protonation-first pathway. We report herein that the complex [fac-Mn(bpy-CONHMe)(CO)3(MeCN)]+ ([1-MeCN]+; bpy-CONHMe = N-methyl-(2,2′-bipyridine)-6-carboxamide) as a pre-catalyst could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with low overpotential and high activity and selectivity. Combined experimental and computational studies reveal that the amide NH group not only decreases the overpotential of the Mn catalyst by promoting the dimer and protonation-first pathways in the presence of H2O but also enhances the CO2 electroreduction activity by facilitating C–OH bond cleavage, making [1-MeCN]+ an efficient CO2 reduction pre-catalyst at low overpotential.

An efficient protocol for the modular synthesis of sulfones and sulfonyl derivatives has been developed utilizing sodium tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethanesulfinate (TBSOMS-Na) as a sulfoxylate (SO22−) equivalent. TBSOMS-Na, easily prepared from the commercial reagents Rongalite™ and TBSCl, serves as a potent nucleophile in S-alkylation and Cu-catalyzed S-arylation reactions with alkyl and aryl electrophiles. The sulfone products thus obtained can undergo the second bond formation at the sulfur center with various electrophiles without a separate unmasking step to afford sulfones and sulfonyl derivatives such as sulfonamides and sulfonyl fluorides.

Electrocatalytic C–N coupling reaction by co-activation of both N2 and CO2 molecules under ambient conditions to synthesize valuable urea opens a new avenue for sustainable development, while the actual catalytic activity is limited by poor adsorption and coupling capability of gas molecules on the catalyst surface. Herein, theoretical calculation predicts that the well-developed built-in electric field in perovskite hetero-structured BiFeO3/BiVO4 hybrids can accelerate the local charge redistribution and thus promote the targeted adsorption and activation of inert N2 and CO2 molecules on the generated local electrophilic and nucleophilic regions. Thus, a BiFeO3/BiVO4 heterojunction is designed and synthesized, which delivers a urea yield rate of 4.94 mmol h−1 g−1 with a faradaic efficiency of 17.18% at −0.4 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M KHCO3, outperforming the highest values reported as far. The comprehensive analysis further confirms that the local charge redistribution in the heterojunction effectively suppresses CO poisoning and the formation of the endothermic *NNH intermediate, which thus guarantees the exothermic coupling of *N Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 N* intermediates with the generated CO via C–N coupling reactions to form the urea precursor *NCON* intermediate. This work opens a new avenue for effective electrocatalytic C–N coupling under ambient conditions.

Functional nanoporous materials are widely explored for CO2 separation, in particular, small-pore aluminosilicate zeolites having a “trapdoor” effect. Such an effect allows the specific adsorbate to push away the sited cations inside the window followed by exclusive admission to the zeolite pores, which is more advantageous for highly selective CO2 separation. Herein, we demonstrated that the protonated organic structure-directing agent in the small-pore silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) RHO zeolite can be directly exchanged with Na+, K+, or Cs+ and that the Na+ form of SAPO-RHO exhibited unprecedented separation for CO2/CH4, superior to all of the nanoporous materials reported to date. Rietveld refinement revealed that Na+ is sited in the center of the single eight-membered ring (s8r), while K+ and Cs+ are sited in the center of the double 8-rings (d8rs). Theoretical calculations showed that the interaction between Na+ and the s8r in SAPO-RHO was stronger than that in aluminosilicate RHO, giving an enhanced “trapdoor” effect and record high selectivity for CO2 with the separation factor of 2196 for CO2/CH4 (0.02/0.98 bar). The separation factor of Na-SAPO-RHO for CO2/N2 was 196, which was the top level among zeolitic materials. This work opens a new avenue for gas separation by using diverse silicoaluminophosphate zeolites in terms of the cation-tailored “trapdoor” effect.

The sodium form of silicoaluminophosphate RHO zeolite exhibits a pronounced cation-tailored “trapdoor” effect, showing an unprecedented selectivity adsorption separation performance for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2.  相似文献
