第二配位层磺酸根在电催化析氢反应中的作用（英文）

析氢反应涉及电子和质子转移过程,即PCET过程,需要较大的过电势才可以驱动析氢反应发生.因此,合成过电势低,活性高的催化剂成为研究热点.自然界中,铁铁氢化酶可以将质子高效地还原成氢气.经研究,铁铁氢化酶的结构中有一个氨基基团位于活性金属中心铁的一侧,因此可以精准、有效地将质子传递给金属铁,从而提高催化效率.受自然界启发,很多分子催化剂模拟了自然界中氢化酶的结构,在分子内引入proton-relay基团,促进了析氢过程中PCET的过程.但目前只有关于这类分子催化剂通过促进质子传输进而提高催化效率的文献报道,尚未发现有关其改变氢氢成键方式的研究.前期工作中,本课题组设计合成了卟啉镓并用于电催化质子还原的研究.利用循环伏安法对其析氢活性进行了测试,发现分别以三氟乙酸(TFA)和醋酸(HOAc)作为质子源时,催化析氢的电化学行为不同.在强酸(TFA)体系中,催化剂在经历了两电子还原后,生成的金属氢化物可以直接和质子发生反应,生成氢气.但是在弱酸(HOAc)体系中,生成的金属氢化物需要再经过一电子的还原才可以驱动整个催化反应的进行.在该工作的基础上,通过调研文献得知,在分子内引入酸基团时,可以极...

近年来,金属/金属氧化物纳米粒子催化的不对称氢化和氢转移反应已经成为催化领域的前沿和研究热点之一. 金属/金属氧化物纳米粒子的催化模式类似于“纳米反应器”,底物可以通过有机包覆层扩散至催化中心,局部的高催化剂浓度通常可以极大地提高催化反应转换数（TON）和转化频率（TOF）. 在以纳米金属为催化活性中心方面,Orito纳米铂体系获得最多的关注,科学家们从手性修饰剂的结构改造、催化剂载体的选择、不同的反应介质、纳米催化剂的形貌和催化反应机理等方面开展了较为系统的研究,并取得重要进展. 此外,纳米钯、铑、钌、铱和铁等金属纳米催化剂也在烯烃、酮和亚胺等化合物的不对称氢化和氢转移反应中表现出良好的催化性能,特别是纳米铱和铁催化剂已获得95%以上的对映选择性. 在金属/金氧化物纳米粒子为催化剂载体方面,其催化不对称氢化及氢转移反应的效率及对映选择性可与均相催化剂相媲美,同时还解决了均相催化剂难于回收再循环的缺陷. 本文简要介绍了近年来手性金属纳米催化剂在不对称氢化和氢转移反应领域的研究进展,讨论了相关反应的催化机理,并对该领域仍存在的问题和未来的发展方向进行了展望.

单铁氢化酶五配位模型化合物的合成、表征及催化反应性

氢化酶仿生化学是当前有机金属化学领域研究的前沿课题,其主要内容为针对氢化酶的活性中心结构和功能进行化学模拟研究.自然界中已经发现的氢化酶有三种,其中[NiFe]氢化酶、[FeFe]氢化酶研究较多.单铁氢化酶发现于1990年,是产甲烷杆菌在厌氧和镍缺乏的条件下合成的.区别于其他两种氢化酶,其活性中心不含Fe-S簇,且仅含有一个Fe原子,并且仅能在底物存在的情况下,催化异裂氢分子并选择性还原特定底物,为产甲烷杆菌代谢提供能量.研究单铁氢化酶的结构和功能,模拟其活化氢、利用氢的过程,对于探索清洁能源的利用和开发新的非贵金属催化剂具有重要意义.本文以单铁氢化酶(Hmd)结构和功能模拟为导向,针对单铁氢化酶一级配位结构,设计合成了两个新模型化合物.通过IR, NMR, X射线单晶衍射等手段表征分析了模型化合物的性质并确认其结构.探索了其质子化反应特性、电催化还原质子制氢的特性.为了进一步模拟Hmd催化裂解氢气、完成氢转移的功能,以所合成模型物为催化剂实现了在常温常压下,以乙醇作为质子源的催化转移氢化过程.新单铁模型配合物Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)(R = Cy (3), Ph (4), NN,邻苯二胺二价阴离子配体)由NN二齿配体与前体化合物Fe(CO)3I2PR3进行配体取代反应合成.模型化合物活性中心为一个二价铁原子,拥有两个处于cis-位置的羰基配体,一个邻苯二胺双齿配体(两个氮原子进行配位)以及一个有机膦配体.通过红外光谱表征所合成的具有不饱和五配位结构化合物的光谱性质,可以得到配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)的羰基红外特征谱峰为1974,1919 cm–1,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的红外特征谱峰在1985和1929 cm–1处.通过单晶X射线衍射表征确认了两个化合物结构,并获取晶体学数据.经研究发现, Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)能够发生酸碱调控下可逆的质子化/脱质子化过程.基于红外光谱和密度泛函理论计算推断邻苯二胺阴离子配体可以作为内部碱基.在酸性条件下, Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)分子内部碱基氮原子通过质子化反应结合一个质子,生成Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)·H+.加入碱之后,重新生成起始化合物Fe(CO)2PR3(NN).表明N原子作为内部碱基,具有结合和转移质子的能力.该性质与Hmd中半胱氨酸硫配体具有一致性.通过循环伏安曲线研究了配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)和Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的电化学性质.其中配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)和Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)均具有两个不可逆的还原峰和氧化峰.在电化学制氢研究中,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的还原峰电流随着乙酸的加入增幅较大,展现出较强的催化质子还原的性质.通过与其他单铁模型配合物对比,可以推断第一个还原峰归属为配合物由FeI转化为FeI,第二个可逆还原峰归属为配合物由FeI转化为Fe0.同时,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)第一个还原峰向高电位移动,该现象与双铁模型化合物的电化学性质较为一致.进一步研究发现,模型化合物具有催化转移氢化的活性.在常温下,乙醇溶剂中, Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)能够催化对苯醌还原转化为对苯二酚,其中对苯醌的转化率达到89%,对苯二酚的产率达到40%.结合实验数据以及文献资料分析,认为乙醇在催化氢化中可以作为质子源,并且提出了催化转移氢化反应过程的机理.认为催化氢化过程中形成了-Fe-H-C-O-H-N-六元环,通过分子间相互作用完成了氢原子转移过程.该研究结论对单铁氢化酶活性中心模型化合物在催化氢化反应中的应用具有一定的参考价值.     

1,2-亚苯基二硫桥[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物选择性光催化还原CO2至CO

利用基于非贵金属的分子催化剂通过光驱动催化CO2还原生成CO是将太阳能储存为化学能和缓解CO2温室效应的有效途径之一,具有重要的科学意义和潜在的应用前景.已报道的非贵金属分子催化剂,大多数对于光驱动CO2还原表现出缓慢的催化反应速率和/或对CO产物的低选择性,反应常常伴随着质子还原产氢反应,只有很少几种非贵金属分子催化剂对光催化CO2还原生成CO表现出高催化反应速率(>100 h?1)和高选择性.研究表明,双核过渡金属配合物由于分子中邻近的两个金属中心的协同催化作用,对于CO2还原生成CO的催化活性明显高于相应的单核配合物.因此,具有两个邻近的金属离子的非贵金属双核配合物有望作为CO2选择性还原的高效分子催化剂.我们最近的研究发现,具有刚性、共轭亚苯基二硫桥结构的[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物[(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6](1,bdt=苯-1,2-二巯基)能够高活性、高选择性地光化学还原CO2至CO,而与其类似的模拟物[(μ-edt)Fe2(CO)6](2,edt=乙烷-1,2-巯基)则不具有光催化还原CO2活性,表明铁铁氢化酶模拟物中硫-硫桥的结构是影响模拟物的催化性能的重要结构因素之一.可见光照射1/[Ru(bpy)3]2+/BIH(BIH=1,3-二甲基-2-苯基-2,3-二氢-1H-苯并[d]-咪唑)体系4.5 h,1催化生成CO的循环数(TON)为710,在初始1 h的转化率(TOF)为7.12 min^-1,CO的选择性达到97%,内量子效率为2.8%.有趣的是,向体系中加入TEOA时可以调节1的催化选择性,光化学反应能够在CO2还原产生CO和质子还原产生H2之间进行切换.此外,采用稳态荧光和瞬态吸收光谱研究了光催化体系中的电子转移,提出可能的光催化反应机理.该研究结果揭示了刚性硫-硫桥结构的氢化酶模拟物对光化学CO2还原至CO的特殊催化活性,拓展了铁铁氢化酶模拟物的催化多功能性.     

二氧化碳硅氢化及相关转化的均相催化体系研究进展（英文）

三维百合花状的CoNi_2S_4作为先进的双功能电催化剂用于氢析出和氧析出反应（英文）

为简化电解水催化剂的合成过程和优化电解水操作系统,双功能电解水催化剂的研究,特别是在碱性条件下同时具有优异催化氢析出和氧析出反应性能的双功能电催化剂的研究尤为重要.其中,过渡金属硫化物,特别是CoNi硫化物,被报道有与氢化酶类似的催化活性中心,从而具有优异的催化氢析出和催化氧析出反应性能.虽然有关对过渡金属硫化物的研究很多,但主要集中在具有一维纳米线和二维纳米片形貌结构的过渡金属硫化物.不幸的是,这些形貌结构的过渡金属硫化物在电催化过程中容易聚集和受限于电荷传输能力.三维纳米结构的材料具有较大的比表面积以分布更多的活性位点和拥有良好的电子传输能力,所以,开发三维纳米结构的过渡金属硫化物材料可能是改进其催化电解水性能的一个好途径.本文采用简单的两步水热法,通过硫化合成的CoNi前体得到了长于泡沫镍上的三维百合花状的CoNi_2S_4(CoNi_2S_4/Ni).它只需要54 mV的过电位即可获得10 mA cm~(-2)的催化氢析出反应电流,是最好的碱性催化氢析出反应电极材料之一.它在驱动100 mA cm~(-2)的催化氧析出反应电流时也只需要328 mV的过电位.另外,把CoNi_2S_4/Ni分别作为阴极和阳极组装成双电极碱性水电解槽时,它只需要1.56 V的电压即可获取10 mA cm~(-2)的催化全电解水电流并具有良好的催化全电解水稳定性.扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和N_2吸脱附曲线测试结果表明,该三维百合花状的CoNi_2S_4/Ni的表面粗糙度高和拥有多孔特性.多孔结构的CoNi_2S_4/Ni可提供更多可接触的催化活性位点,也有利于催化过程中的电解质和生成的气体的扩散与传递.交流阻抗图谱测试结果表明,CoNi_2S_4/Ni具有良好的电子传输能力.另外,不同于前期对尖晶石结构的硫化物AB_2S_4的研究结果,XPS结果表明,CoNi_2S_4/Ni中含有Ni~(б+)和S~(б–)活性物种,表明CoNi_2S_4具有与活性氢化酶类似的活性中心.Ni~(δ+)和S~(δ–)可分别作为氢氧根和质子的接收体,协助促进吸附的水分子的分离,从而提高材料的催化性能.所以,Ni~(δ+)和S~(δ–)活性物种的出现,大比表面积的三维百合花状多孔结构和良好的电荷传输能力等特性集合于CoNi_2S_4/Ni上使得CoNi_2S_4/Ni具有优异的催化氢析出和催化氧析出反应性能.     

DFT investigation of structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of diiron complexes related to the [2Fe](H) subcluster of Fe-only hydrogenases

Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible oxidation of dihydrogen to protons and electrons. The structures of two Fe-only hydrogenases have been recently reported [Peters, J. W.; Lanzilotta, W. N.; Lemon, B. J.; Seefeldt, L. C. Science 1998, 282, 1853-1858. Nicolet, Y.; Piras, C.; Legrand, P.; Hatchikian, E. C.; Fontecilla-Camps, J. C. Structure 1999, 7, 13-23], showing that the likely site of dihydrogen activation is the so-called [2Fe](H) cluster, where each Fe ion is coordinated by CO and CN(-) ligands and the two metals are bridged by a chelating S-X(3)-S ligand. Moreover, the presence of a water molecule coordinated to the distal Fe2 center suggested that the Fe2 atom could be a suitable site for binding and activation of H(2). In this contribution, we report a density functional theory investigation of the structural and electronic properties of complexes derived from the [(CO)(CH(3)S)(CN)Fe(II)(mu-PDT)Fe(II)(CO)(2)(CN)](-1) species, which is related to the [2Fe](H) cluster observed in Fe-only hydrogenases. Our results show that the structure of the [2Fe](H) cluster observed in the enzyme does not correspond to a stable form of the isolated cluster, in the absence of the protein. As a consequence, the reactivity of [(CO)(CH(3)S)(CN)Fe(II)(mu-PDT)Fe(II)(CO)(2)(CN)](-1) derivatives in solution may be expected to be quite different from that of the active site of Fe-only hydrogenases. In fact, the most favorable path for H(2) activation involves the two metal atoms and one of the bridging S atoms and is associated with a very low activation energy (5.3 kcal mol(-1)). The relevance of these observations for the catalytic properties of Fe-only hydrogenases is discussed in light of available experimental and theoretical data.     

A QM/MM investigation of the activation and catalytic mechanism of Fe-only hydrogenases

Fe-only hydrogenases are enzymes that catalyze dihydrogen production or oxidation, due to the presence of an unusual Fe(6)S(6) cluster (the so-called H-cluster) in their active site, which is composed of a Fe(2)S(2) subsite, directly involved in catalysis, and a classical Fe(4)S(4) cubane cluster. Here, we present a hybrid quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) investigation of the Fe-only hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, in order to unravel key issues regarding the activation of the enzyme from its completely oxidized inactive state (Hoxinact) and the influence of the protein environment on the structural and catalytic properties of the H-cluster. Our results show that the Fe(2)S(2) subcluster in the Fe(II)Fe(II) redox state - which is experimentally observed for the completely oxidized form of the enzyme - binds a water molecule to one of its metal centers. The computed QM/MM energy values for water binding to the diferrous subsite are in fact over 70 kJ mol(-1); however, the affinity toward water decreases by 1 order of magnitude after a one-electron reduction of H(ox)(inact), thus leading to the release of coordinated water from the H-cluster. The investigation of a catalytic cycle of the Fe-only hydrogenase that implies formation of a terminal hydride ion and a di(thiomethyl)amine (DTMA) molecule acting as an acid/base catalyst indicates that all steps have reasonable reaction energies and that the influence of the protein on the thermodynamic profile of H(2) production catalysis is not negligible. QM/MM results show that the interactions between the Fe(2)S(2) subsite and the protein environment could give place to structural rearrangements of the H-cluster functional for catalysis, provided that the bidentate ligand that bridges the iron atoms in the binuclear subsite is actually a DTMA residue.     

Density functional study on dihydrogen activation at the H cluster in Fe-only hydrogenases

Models simulating the catalytic diiron subcluster [FeFe](H) in Fe-only hydrogenases have often been designed for computational exploration of the catalytic mechanism of the formation and cleavage of dihydrogen. In this work, we extended the above models by explicitly considering the electron reservoir [4Fe-4S](H) which is linked to the diiron subcluster to form a whole H cluster ([6Fe-6S] = [4Fe-4S](H) + [FeFe](H)). Large-scale density functional theory (DFT) computations on the complete H cluster, together with simplified models in which the [4Fe-4S](H) subcluster is not directly involved in the reaction processes, have been performed to probe hydrogen activation on the Fe-only hydrogenases. A new intermediate state containing an Fe(p)...H...CN two-electron three-center bond is identified as a key player in the H2 formation/cleavage processes.     

Spectroscopic and crystallographic evidence for the N-protonated FeIFeI azadithiolate complex related to the active site of Fe-only hydrogenases

The complex [{(mu-SCH2)2N(CH2C6H4-2-Br)}Fe2(CO)6] and its N-protonated species, as structural models of the Fe-only hydrogenase active site, were identified spectroscopically and crystallographically, and their molecular structures show the 0.04-0.1 A lengthening of the three N-C bonds and an intramolecular HBr contact (2.82 Angstroms) in the crystalline state of the N-protonated species.     

Enzymatic mechanism of Fe-only hydrogenase: density functional study on H-H making/breaking at the diiron cluster with concerted proton and electron transfers

The mechanism of the enzymatic hydrogen bond forming/breaking (2H(+) + 2e<==>H(2)) and the plausible charge and spin states of the catalytic diiron subcluster [FeFe](H) of the H cluster in Fe-only hydrogenases are probed computationally by the density functional theory. It is found that the active center [FeFe](H) can be rationally simulated as [[H](CH(3)S)(CO)(CN(-))Fe(p)(CO(b))(mu-SRS)Fe(d)(CO)(CN(-))L], where the monovalence [H] stands for the [4Fe4S](H)(2+) subcluster bridged to the [FeFe](H) moiety, (CH(3)S) represents a Cys-S, and (CO(b)) represents a bridging CO. L could be a CO, H(2)O, H(-), H(2), or a vacant coordination site on Fe(d). Model structures of possible redox states are optimized and compared with the X-ray crystallographic structures and FTIR experimental data. On the basis of the optimal structures, we study the most favorable path of concerted proton transfer and electron transfer in H(2)-forming/breaking reactions at [FeFe](H). Previous mechanisms derived from quantum chemical computations of Fe-only hydrogenases (Cao, Z.; Hall, M. B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 3734; Fan, H.; Hall, M. B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 3828) involved an unidentified bridging residue (mu-SRS), which is either a propanedithiolate or dithiomethylamine. Our proposed mechanism, however, does not require such a ligand but makes use of a shuttle of oxidation states of the iron atoms and a reaction site between the two iron atoms. Therefore, the hydride H(b)(-) (bridged to Fe(p) and Fe(d)) and eta(2)-H(2) at Fe(p) or Fe(d) most possibly play key roles in the dihydrogen reversible oxidation at the [FeFe](H) active center. This suggested way of H(2) formation/splitting is reminiscent of the mechanism of [NiFe] hydrogenases and therefore would unify the mechanisms of the two related enzymes.     

Lewis vs. Brønsted-basicities of diiron dithiolates: spectroscopic detection of the "rotated structure" and remarkable effects of ethane- vs. propanedithiolate

The new complexes Fe2(S2CnH2n)(CO)2(dppv)2 (n = 2, 3; dppv = cis-1,2-C2H2(PPh2)2) form adducts with AlBr3 and B(C6F5)3, which adopt the "rotated structure" proposed for the active site of the Fe-only hydrogenases--the propanedithiolate is significantly more Lewis basic due to nonbonded interactions between the dithiolate strap and the ligands on Fe.     

Effect of electron availability on selectivity of O2 reduction by synthetic monometallic Fe porphyrins

Herein we report that biomimetic analogues of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) couple reduction of O(2) to oxidation of a single-electron carrier, Ru(NH(3))(6)(2+), under steady-state catalytic turnover. Higher Ru(II) concentrations favor the 4-electron vs 2-electron O(2) reduction pathway. Our data indicate that the capacity of electrode-adsorbed Fe-only porphyrins to catalyze reduction of O(2) to H(2)O is due to high availability of electrons and is eliminated under the biologically relevant slow electron delivery.     

一类受生物启发的双膦双硒镍配合物的合成及其电催化产氢性能

自然界中,[NiFeSe]氢化酶比[NiFe]氢化酶具有更高的催化产氢活性和特殊的耐氧性。其较高的催化活性机制被认为跟[NiFeSe]氢化酶上所取代的硒(Se)原子密切相关。因此,[NiFeSe]氢化酶的特殊结构、性质及催化机制强烈激发科学家们设计并合成各种模拟[NiFeSe]氢化酶活性中心的镍铁硒或镍硒配合物(也即受生物启发的模拟物)。本论文工作首先合成及结构表征了六个基于双硒配体与含二茂铁的双膦配体的镍硒配合物(2a–2c,3a–3b,4);然后将这些镍硒配合物用作[NiFeSe]氢化酶的功能模型物,利用电化学方法,以三氟乙酸为质子给体测定了相应的电催化产氢活性。在相同实验条件下,分别研究了双硒配体上不同的取代基团,及含二茂铁的双膦配体上不同取代基等结构修饰方式对镍硒配合物催化产氢性能的影响。结果表明:这些镍硒配合物的催化产氢活性跟双硒配体及双膦配体的结构有很大关系,对应的催化转化频率(TOF)分别为12182 s^?1(2a),15385 s^?1(2b),20359 s^?1(2c),106 s^?1(3a),794 s^?1(3b),13580 s^?1(4)。其中,1,2-二硒-4,5-二甲基和1,1’-双(二苯膦)二茂铁配体与镍离子配位形成的镍硒配合物2c具有最好的电催化活性(TOF=20359 s^?1),其产氢性能已大大超过先前我们课题组所报道的由1,2-苯二硒、1,1’-双(二苯膦)二茂铁所配位形成的镍硒配合物1(TOF=7838 s^?1)。     

Crystallographic and FTIR spectroscopic evidence of changes in Fe coordination upon reduction of the active site of the Fe-only hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Fe-only hydrogenases, as well as their NiFe counterparts, display unusual intrinsic high-frequency IR bands that have been assigned to CO and CN(-) ligation to iron in their active sites. FTIR experiments performed on the Fe-only hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans indicate that upon reduction of the active oxidized form, there is a major shift of one of these bands that is provoked, most likely, by the change of a CO ligand from a bridging position to a terminal one. Indeed, the crystal structure of the reduced active site of this enzyme shows that the previously bridging CO is now terminally bound to the iron ion that most likely corresponds to the primary hydrogen binding site (Fe2). The CO binding change may result from changes in the coordination sphere of Fe2 or its reduction. Superposition of this reduced active site with the equivalent region of a NiFe hydrogenase shows a remarkable coincidence between the coordination of Fe2 and that of the Fe ion in the NiFe cluster. Both stereochemical and mechanistic considerations suggest that the small organic molecule found at the Fe-only hydrogenase active site and previously modeled as 1,3-propanedithiolate may, in fact, be di-(thiomethyl)-amine.
