Identification of catalyst surface species during asymmetric platinum-catalysed hydrogenation in a "supercritical" solvent

In situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy studies during the enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate in "supercritical" ethane over a chirally modified Pt/Al(2)O(3) catalyst show the preferential adsorption of ethyl pyruvate as cis-conformer and indicate a hydrogen bond interaction of this species with the co-adsorbed modifier cinchonidine.     

Platinum-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation: Spectroscopic Evidence for an O-H-O Hydrogen-Bond Interaction between Substrate and Modifier

The mighty cinchonidine: A diastereomeric surface complex in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketopantolactone on chirally modified Pt is monitored by in?situ ATR-IR spectroscopy, in combination with modulation excitation spectroscopy and phase-sensitive detection. Cinchonidine bound to the surface with its quinoline ring is shown to induce the chiral environment through a C9?O???H???O?C interaction.     

Enantioselective hydrogenation over cinchona-modified Pt: the special role of carboxylic acids

The influence of acetic acid (AcOH) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) on the hydrogenation of ethyl-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate has been investigated by using Pt/Al(2)O(3) modified by cinchonidine and O-methylcinchonidine. We have shown that the sometimes dramatic changes in enantioselectivity and rate cannot simply be interpreted by protonation of the alkaloid modifier. We propose a new three-step reaction pathway, involving interaction of the carboxylic acid with the reactant and the chiral modifier. The mechanism is supported by IR spectroscopic identification of cyclic TFA-modifier ion pairs. This new approach can rationalise the poorly understood role of acids in the enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones over cinchona-modified platinum metals.     

Carbonization of alumina-based catalysts in propionitrile ammonolysis

Summary The asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl 2-acetoxyacrylate (EtA) by cinchonidine modified Pd/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 catalyst is described (ee up to 60 %). This is the first example of asymmetric hydrogenation of an enol esters in heterogenized conditions.     

Determination of geometric orientation of adsorbed cinchonidine on Pt and Fe and quiphos on Pt nanoclusters via DRIFTS

Platinum nanoclusters modified with cinchonidine have been employed as 'quasi-homogeneous' catalysts for the hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate and have demonstrated exceptional activities while the ee's of these systems are currently inferior to the traditional Pt/Al2O3 heterogeneous system. For the bulk systems it has been shown that the orientation of the modifier on the metal surface is a critical parameter influencing catalytically induced enantioselectivity. It has been speculated that the lower observed ee's for the nanocluster systems are a result of the modifier assuming an orientation unfavorable for inducing enantioselectivity due to the lack of large numbers of planar metal atoms. Using DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infra-red Fourier transform spectroscopy) analysis of samples together with geometry optimization and IR modelling we have studied the orientation of cinchonidine on Pt and Fe nanoclusters and additionally the man-made ligand quiphos on Pt nanoclusters. It has been determined that cinchonidine can adsorb on Pt and Fe nanoclusters in both 'flat' and 'tilted' modes, while quiphos can be adsorbed on Pt only via the 'pi-bonded' mode. These studies thus provide an insight into modifier orientation on nanocluster surfaces that can be extended to a wide range of potential modifiers and facilitate a better understanding of the origin of enantioselectivity with these 'quasi-homogeneous' catalyst systems.     

Role of guiding groups in cinchona-modified platinum for controlling the sense of enantiodifferentiation in the hydrogenation of ketones

Systematic structural variations of cinchona-type modifiers used in the platinum-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones give insight into the adsorption mode of the modifier and its interaction with the substrate on the platinum surface under truly in situ conditions. The performance of a new modifier, O-(2-pyridyl)-cinchonidine, is compared to that of O-phenyl-cinchonidine and cinchonidine (CD). In the hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate, ketopantolactone, and 2-methoxyacetophenone, CD gives the (R)-alcohol in excess. Introduction of the bulky O-phenyl group favors the (S)-enantiomer, whereas upon replacement of the phenyl by a 2-pyridyl group the (R)-alcohol is again the major product. This finding is particularly striking, because the two ether groups have virtually identical van der Waals volumes. A catalytic study including the nonlinear behavior of modifier mixtures, and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy of the solid-liquid interface in the presence of hydrogen, revealed the adsorption mode and strength of the modifiers on Pt. Theoretical calculations of the modifier-substrate interactions offered a feasible explanation for the different role of the bulky ether groups: repulsion by the phenoxy and attraction by the 2-pyridoxy groups. Simulation of the interaction of o-pyridoxy-CD with ketopantolactone on a model Pt surface suggests that formation of two N-H-O-type H-bonds--involving the quinuclidine and pyridine N atoms, and the two keto-carbonyls in the substrate--controls the adsorption of the substrate during hydrogen uptake. This mechanistic study demonstrates the potential of insertion of suitable substituents into CD and their influence on adsorption and stereocontrol on the platinum surface.     

An in situ attenuated total reflection infrared study of a chiral catalytic solid-liquid interface: cinchonidine adsorption on pt.

An in situ attenuated total reflection study of the chiral solid-liquid interface created by cinchonidine adsorption on a Pt/Al(2)O(3) model catalyst is presented. Experiments were performed in the presence of dissolved hydrogen, that is under conditions used for the heterogeneous enantioselective hydrogenation of alpha-functionalized ketones. Cinchonidine adsorbs via the quinoline moiety. The adsorption mode is coverage dependent and several species coexist on the surface. At low concentration (10(-6)M) a predominantly flat adsorption mode prevails. At increasing coverage two different tilted species, alpha-H abstracted and N lone pair bonded cinchonidine, are observed. The latter is only weakly bound and in a fast dynamic equilibrium with dissolved cinchonidine. At high concentration (10(-4)-10(-3) M) all three species coexist on the Pt surface. A slow transition from an adsorbate layer with a high fraction of alpha-H abstracted cinchonidine to one with a high fraction of N lone pair bonded cinchonidine is observed with the cinchonidine concentration being the driving force for the process. The reverse transition in the absence of dissolved cinchonidine is fast. Cinchonidine competes with solvent decomposition products for adsorption sites on the Pt, which may contribute to the observed solvent dependence of the heterogeneous enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones by cinchonidine-modified Pt.     

Surface Raman characterization of cinchonidine-modified polycrystalline platinum in ethanol: effects of temperature and comparison with 10,11-dihydrocinchonidine

The adsorption of the chiral modifier cinchonidine on platinum in ethanol as a function of temperature has been studied with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The temperature range chosen was from 30 to 70 °C, within which both the activity and selectivity of cinchonidine-modified Pt catalysts have been shown to change dramatically. Platinum surfaces were modified with 260 μM cinchonidine in ethanol, and examined both in pure ethanol and in the modifying solution itself. Adsorbed cinchonidine under pure ethanol was found to partially desorb as the temperature was raised, accompanied by an increase in the average tilt of the quinoline group with respect to the surface. In contrast, the presence of solution-phase cinchonidine resulted in an increase in the cinchonidine surface coverage and average tilt as temperature was raised. In a previous study [J. Mol. Catal. A 212 (2004) 277] we showed that hydrogen causes a dramatic enhancement in the SERS response of adsorbed cinchonidine. This was attributed to a conversion of cinchonidine to 10,11-dihydrocinchonidine on the Pt surface and a more flat orientation of the quinoline group. In both pure ethanol and in 260 μM cinchonidine, the presence of hydrogen causes a significant decrease in the alkaloid SERS bands at temperatures above 40 °C. In addition, the average tilt of the quinoline group increases significantly at these elevated temperatures. The temperature-dependence of 10,11-dihydrocinchonidine adsorption was also investigated, and is almost identical to that observed for cinchonidine in the presence of hydrogen. This lends further support to the conclusion that cinchonidine is being hydrogenated on the Pt surface in the presence of hydrogen. The significant changes observed on the cinchonidine-modified Pt surface above 40 °C correlate well with reported decreases in enantioselectivity and turn-over frequency at similar temperatures during ethyl pyruvate hydrogenation.

Chirally modified platinum generated by adsorption of cinchonidine ether derivatives: towards uncovering the chiral sites

The adsorption behavior of O-methyl and O-trimethylsilyl derivatives of cinchonidine (CD), employed as chiral modifiers for heterogeneous enantioselective hydrogenations on supported Pt catalysts, has been investigated by using attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) and density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations. The ATR-IR spectroscopic investigation provided detailed insight of the adsorbed modifiers under conditions close to those employed during catalytic processes, and electronic structure calculations were used as a complement to the experiments to uncover the implications of conformational changes in generating the topology of the surface chiral site. The structural investigation of the adsorbed modifiers revealed a relationship between the spatial positions of the ether substituents and the enantiodifferentiation induced by the modified catalyst observed in the hydrogenation of alpha-activated ketones. Experiments and calculations corroborate a model, according to which the addition of a bulky ether group to CD reshapes the chiral sites, thus generating catalytic chiral surfaces with different and, in some cases (e.g. hydrogenation of ketopantolactone), even opposite enantioselective properties to those obtained with CD without altering the absolute configuration of the modifier. The study also confirms that active surface conformations of cinchona modifiers are markedly different from those existing in vacuum and in solution, thus underlying the necessity of investigating the surface-modifier interaction in order to understand enantioselectivity.

Competition at chiral metal surfaces: fundamental aspects of the inversion of enantioselectivity in hydrogenations on platinum

O-Phenylcinchonidine (PhOCD) is known to efficiently induce inversion of enantioselectivity with respect to cinchonidine (CD) in the enantioselective hydrogenation of various activated ketones on Pt/Al(2)O(3). To understand the origin of the switch of enantioselective properties of the catalyst, the adsorption of PhOCD has been studied by in situ ATR-IR spectroscopy, in the presence of organic solvent and dissolved hydrogen, i.e., under conditions used for catalytic hydrogenation. The adsorption structures and energies of the anchoring group of CD and PhOCD were calculated on a Pt 38 cluster, using relativistically corrected density functional theory (DFT). Both approaches indicate that both modifiers are adsorbed via the quinoline ring and that the spatial arrangement of the quinuclidine skeleton is critical for the chiral recognition. New molecular level information on the conformation of CD relative to PhOCD adsorbed on a surface is extracted from the ATR spectra and supported by DFT calculations. The result is a clearer picture of the role played by the phenyl group in defining the chiral space created by the modifiers on Pt. Moreover, when CD was added to a pre-equilibrated adsorbed layer of PhOCD, a chiral adsorbed layer was formed with CD as the dominant modifier, indicating that CD adsorbs more strongly than PhOCD. Conversely, when PhOCD was added to preadsorbed CD, no significant substitution occurred. The process leading to nonlinear effects in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis has been characterized by in situ spectroscopy, and new insight into a heterogeneous catalytic R-S switch system is provided.     

铂基催化剂用于柴油烃氧化

The catalytic performance of Pt-based catalysts for the total oxidation of hydrocarbons was investigated.The activity of supported Pt catalysts(Pt/Al2O3,Pt/ZrO2,Pt/TiO2,and Pt/H-ZSM-5)depends on the metal oxide support.Pt/Al2O3 showed the highest catalytic activity when the catalysts were aged at 750°C for 50 h in air.The activity of Pt/Al2O3 was dependent on the valence state of the Pt surface.Pt/Al2O3 with the Pt surface in the metallic state was more active than with the surface in the cationic state.The surface density of acid and basic sites on the Al2O3 support controlled the valence state of the Pt surface and stability of the Pt particles in the highly dispersed state,respectively.     

K改性的Pt/Al2O3催化剂上CO氧化反应：反应动力学和红外光谱研究

CO氧化不仅具有重要的实用价值,而且在基础研究中被用于考察反应机理及催化剂结构敏感性等一些重要问题,因此,该反应在催化领域中具有重要意义. Pt基催化剂被广泛应用于CO氧化反应.其催化活性取决于催化剂的制备方法.其中,碱金属如Na、K等助剂的添加可有效促进催化活性,红外光谱证据表明,其促进作用在于碱金属的添加可降低CO与表面Pt原子的相互作用.尽管如此,催化剂上反应动力学证据却十分缺乏.反应动力学的研究可以提供一些本证反应信息如反应基元步骤、反应速率表达式以及反应机理等.通过对比不同催化剂之间的反应动力学行为,可以进一步解释碱金属对催化剂结构以及反应行为的影响.因此在本工作中,我们制备了一系列以K为助剂的Pt/Al2O3催化剂,并进行了CO氧化的反应动力学研究,考察了助剂对CO反应级数和反应活化能的影响.结合原位红外光谱表征,进一步揭示了助剂在反应中的作用.通过对比不同Pt和K含量的催化剂上CO氧化反应活性,我们发现, K的添加能促进反应活性,且随着催化剂中K含量的增加,促进程度越明显.例如,0.42K-2Pt/Al2O3上T50温度比对应的2Pt/Al2O3降低了30oC.不同催化剂上CO氧化的反应动力学实验表明,反应速率随着CO的分压的增加而降低;但随着O2分压的增加而增大.幂函数反应速率表达式推导得到的反应级数发现,对于含K的催化剂其CO的反应级数(约为–0.2)明显比不含K的催化剂(约为–0.5)中高,说明K的添加减弱了CO与表面Pt原子之间的吸附能力.但对O2的反应级数影响较小.例如：在0.42K-2.0Pt/Al2O3上反应速率表达式为r =6.55′10–7pco–0.22po20.63;而在2.0Pt/Al2O3上为r =2.56′10–7pco–0.53po20.70.表观反应活化能的计算表明,含K的催化剂上表观反应活化能较低,进一步说明K的添加有利于反应进行.根据反应速率表达式,我们进行了基元步骤的推导,并计算了反应动力学参数.结果发现,与不含K的催化剂相比,含K的催化剂中本征反应速率常数明显增加,而CO吸附平衡常数降低了一半,表明K的存在使CO在Pt表面上的覆盖度降低.我们还通过原位红外光谱对比了催化剂上CO吸附行为的差异.数据表明,与不含K的催化剂相比, K的添加一方面降低了CO在催化剂表面的吸附量(峰面积变小);另一方面显著降低了CO在Pt表面上的脱附温度,说明两者之间的相互作用力减弱.综上所述,通过反应动力学和红外光谱实验,我们认为K助剂与表面Pt原子相互作用后生成了较为稳定的Pt–O–K物种.尽管该物种的具体结构目前还不明确,但我们的实验证据表明,该物种的存在可以有效减弱CO与表面Pt原子之间的相互作用,降低CO的表面覆盖度并有利于O2在Pt表面的竞争吸附,从而降低了表面吸附的CO与O2之间反应的能垒,促进了反应性能.
