Nitration of alkanes with nitric acid by vanadium-substituted polyoxometalates

The nitration of alkanes by using nitric acid as a nitrating agent in acetic acid was efficiently promoted by vanadium-substituted Keggin-type phosphomolybdates such as [H4PVMo11O40], [H5PV2Mo10O40], and [H6PV3Mo9O40] as catalyst precursors. A variety of alkanes including alkylbenzenes were nitrated to the corresponding nitroalkanes as major products in moderate yields with formation of oxygenated products under mild reaction conditions. The carbon--carbon bond cleavage reactions hardly proceeded. ESR, NMR, and IR spectroscopic data show that the vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate, for example, [H4PVMo11O40], decomposes to form free vanadium species and [PMo12O40](3-) Keggin anion. The reaction mechanism involving a radical-chain path is proposed. The polyoxometalates initially abstract the hydrogen of the alkane to form the alkyl radical and the reduced polyoxometalates. The reduced polyoxometalates subsequently react with nitric acid to produce the oxidized form and nitrogen dioxide. This step would be promoted mainly by the phosphomolybdates, [PMo12O40](n-), and the vanadium cations efficiently enhance the activity. The nitrogen dioxide promotes the further formation of nitrogen dioxide and an alkyl radical. The alkyl radical is trapped by nitrogen dioxide to form the corresponding nitroalkane.     

Location of protons in anhydrous Keggin heteropolyacids H(3)PMo(12)O(40) and H(3)PW(12)O(40) by (1)H[(31)P]/(31)P[(1)H] REDOR NMR and DFT quantum chemical calculations

HeteroPolyAcids (HPA's) are a class of solid acids that have broad applications in many fields of science and technology, including catalysis and chemical engineering. The proton locations within the thermally stable and commonly known Keggin unit, which is the primary structure building unit/block, has remained undetermined in anhydrous HPAs, despite numerous theoretical and experimental efforts. However, Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) NMR and Density Functional Theory (DFT) quantum chemical calculations offer a new opportunity to determine the exact locations of protons within the Keggin unit. The crucial experimental evidence is provided for the basic and very extensively studied acidic form of H(8-n)X(n+)M(12)O(40), X = Si, P and M = Mo, W, belonging to the Keggin structure. While showing that the acidic protons are located in the bridging oxygen positions (R(P-H) = 520 +/- 20 pm) in H(3)PMo(12)O(40) and in the terminal oxygen positions (R(P-H) = 570 +/- 20 pm) in H(3)PW(12)O(40), REDOR measurements also provide for the first time the structural basis to consistently rank the acid strength for the important class of Keggin solid catalysts.     

17O NMR and computational study of a tetrasiliconiobate ion, [H(2+x)Si4Nb16O56](14-x)-

Rates of oxygen-isotope exchange were measured in the tetrasiliconiobate ion [H(2+x)Si(4)Nb(16)O(56)]((14-x)-) to better understand how large oxide ions interact with water. The molecule has 19 nonequivalent oxygen sites and is sufficiently complex to evaluate hypotheses derived from our previous work on smaller clusters. We want to examine the extent to which individual oxygen atoms react independently with particular attention given to the order of protonation of the various oxygen sites as the pH decreases from 13 to 6. As in our previous work, we find that the set of oxygen sites reacts at rates that vary over approximately 10(4) across the molecule at 6相似文献   

Molecular oxygen and oxidation catalysis by phosphovanadomolybdates

The history of aerobic catalytic oxidation mediated by a subclass of polyoxometalates, the phosphovanadomolybdates of the Keggin structure, [PV(x)Mo(12-x)O40](3+x)-, is described. In the earlier research it was shown that phosphovanadomolybdates catalyze oxydehydrogenation reactions through an electron-transfer oxidation of a substrate by the polyoxometalate that is then reoxidized by oxygen. These aerobic oxidations are selective and synthetically useful in various transformations, notably diene aromatization, phenol dimerization and alcohol oxidation. Oxygen transfer from the polyoxometalate to arenes and alkylarenes was also discussed as a homogeneous analog of a Mars-van Krevelen oxidation. "Second generation" catalysts include binary complexes of the polyoxometalate and a organometallic compound useful, for example, for methane oxidation and nanoparticles stabilized by polyoxometalates effective for aerobic alkene epoxidation.

Electrochemical Properties and ESR Characterization of Mixed Valence alpha-[XMo(3)(-)(x)()V(x)()W(9)O(40)](n)()(-) Heteropolyanions with X = P(V) and Si(IV), x = 1, 2, or 3

Electrochemical behavior of the alpha-[SiMo(3)(-)(x)()V(x)()W(9)O(40)]((4+)(x)()())(-) and alpha-[PMo(3)(-)(x)()V(x)()W(9)O(40)]((3+)(x)()())(-) anions with x = 1, 2, or 3 were studied. Electrochemical reduction of each compounds was consistent with its Mo/V ratio, reduction of vanadium and molybdenum atoms occurring in the +0.6 to -0.6 V potential range. The one-electron-reduced species were prepared by electrolysis and then characterized by ESR spectroscopy. The g and A values for V(4+)ions appeared to depend on the nature of the surrounding atoms (Mo(VI), W(VI), and V(V)). In solution at 330 K, the ESR spectrum of the protonated alpha-H[SiMoV(IV)VW(9)O(40)](6)(-) anion displayed 29 superhyperfine lines which were related to the partial localization of the electron on one vanadium nucleus. The ESR spectra at room temperature for the divanadium-substituted anions showed a strong anisotropy of the A tensor which would be related to the electron transfer along a preferential axis. An isolated V(4+) signal was not observed, even at 12 K, indicating that the electron is never firmly trapped on one single vanadium atom.     

Zr(IV)-monosubstituted Keggin-type dimeric polyoxometalates: synthesis, characterization, catalysis of H2O2-based oxidations, and theoretical study

The previously unknown Zr(IV)-monosubstituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates (Zr-POMs), (n-Bu4N)7H[{PW11O39Zr(mu-OH)}2] (1), (n-Bu4N)8[{PW11O39Zr(mu-OH)}2] (2), and (n-Bu4N)9[{PW11O39Zr}2(mu-OH)(mu-O)] (3) differing in their protonation state, have been prepared starting from heteropolyacid H5PW11ZrO40.14H2O. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, potentiometric titration, X-ray single-crystal structure, and IR, Raman, and 31P and 183W NMR spectroscopy. The single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2 reveals that two Keggin structural units [PW11O39Zr]3- are linked through two hydroxo bridges Zr-(OH)-Zr with Zr(IV) in 7-fold coordination. The IR spectra of 1 and 2 show a characteristic band at 772 cm(-1), which moves to 767 cm(-1) for 3, reflecting deprotonation of the Zr-(OH)-Zr bond. Potentiometric titration with methanolic Bu4NOH indicates that 1-3 contain 2, 1, and 0 acid protons, respectively. (83W NMR reveals Cs symmetry of 2 and 3 in dry MeCN, while for 1, it discovers nonequivalence of its two subunits and their distortion resulting from localization of the acidic proton on one of the Zr-O-W bridging O atoms. The (31)P NMR spectra of 2 and 3 differ insignificantly in dry MeCN, showing only signals at delta -12.46 and -12.44 ppm, respectively, while the spectrum of 1 displays two resonances at delta -12.3 (narrow) and -13.2 (broad) ppm, indicating slow proton exchange on the (31)P NMR time scale. The theoretical calculations carried out at the density functional theory level on the dimeric species 1-3 propose that protonation at the Zr-O-Zr bridging site is more favorable than protonation at Zr-O-W sites. Calculations also revealed that the doubly bridged hydroxo structure is thermodynamically more stable than the singly bridged oxo structure, in marked contrast with analogous Ti- and Nb-monosubstituted polyoxometalates. The interaction of 1-3 with H(2)O and H(2)O(2) in MeCN has been studied by both (31)P and (183)W NMR. The stability of the [PW(11)O(39)ZrOH](4-) structural unit toward at least 100-fold excess of H2O2 in MeCN was confirmed by both NMR and Raman spectroscopy. The interaction of 1 and 2 with H2O in MeCN produces most likely monomeric species (n-Bu4N)3+n[PW11O39Zr(OH)(n(H2O)(3-n)] (n = 0 and 1) showing a broad 31P NMR signal at delta -13.2 ppm, while interaction with H2O2 leads to the formation of an unstable peroxo species (delta -12.3 ppm), which reacts rapidly with cyclohexene, producing 2-cyclohexen-1-one and trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol. Both 1 and 2 show a pronounced catalytic activity in H2O2 decomposition and H2O2-based oxidation of organic substrates, including cyclohexene, alpha-pinene, and 2,3,6-trimethylphenol. The oxidation products are consistent with those of a homolytic oxidation mechanism. On the contrary, 3 containing no acid protons reacts with neither H2O nor H2O2 and shows negligible catalytic activity. The Zr-monosubstituted polyoxometalates can be used as tractable homogeneous probes of Zr single-site heterogeneous catalysts in studying mechanisms of H2O2-based oxidations.     

Electronic properties of polyoxometalates: electron and proton affinity of mixed-addenda Keggin and Wells-Dawson anions

A series of systematic DFT calculations were conducted on Keggin [SiW(9)M(3)O(40)](n-), M = Mo, V, and Nb; and Wells-Dawson anions [P(2)M(18)O(62)],(6-) M = W and Mo; [P(2)M(15)M(3)'O(62)](m-), M = W and Mo, M' = W, Mo, and V to analyze the redox properties and the basicity of the external oxygen sites in polyoxometalates with nonequivalent addenda metals. The energy and composition of the lowest unoccupied orbitals, formally delocalized over the addenda atoms, determine the redox properties of a polyoxometalate. When a Mo(6+) substitutes one W(6+) in the 1:12 tungstate, the energy of the LUMO decreases and the cluster is more easily reduced. The tungstoniobates behave differently because the niobium orbitals insert into the tungsten band and the reduction of [SiW(9)Nb(3)O(40)](7-) yields the blue species SiW(9)Nb(3) 1e and not the cluster SiW(9)Nb(2)Nb(IV). In Wells-Dawson structures, the polar and equatorial sites have different electron affinities and the reduction preferentially occurs in the equatorial sites. Inserting ions with larger electron affinities into the polar sites can modify this traditional conduct. Hence, the trisubstituted [P(2)W(15)V(3)O(62)](9-) anion is reduced in the vanadium polar sites. By means of molecular electrostatic potential maps and the relative energy of the various protonated forms of [SiW(9)V(3)O(40)](7-) and [SiW(9)Mo(3)O(40)](4-), we established the basicity scale: OV(2) > OMo(2) > OW(2) > OV > OW > OMo. Finally, a continuum model for the solvent enabled us to compare anions with different total charges.

Oxidation of alkylarenes by nitrate catalyzed by polyoxophosphomolybdates: synthetic applications and mechanistic insights

Alkylarenes were catalytically and selectively oxidized to the corresponding benzylic acetates and carbonyl products by nitrate salts in acetic acid in the presence of Keggin type molybdenum-based heteropolyacids, H(3+)(x)()PV(x)()Mo(12)(-)(x)()O(40) (x = 0-2). H(5)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40) was especially effective. For methylarenes there was no over-oxidation to the carboxylic acid contrary to what was observed for nitric acid as oxidant. The conversion to the aldehyde/ketone could be increased by the addition of water to the reaction mixture. As evidenced by IR and (15)N NMR spectroscopy, initially the nitrate salt reacted with H(5)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40) to yield a N(V)O(2)(+)[H(4)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40)] intermediate. In an electron-transfer reaction, the proposed N(V)O(2)(+)[H(4)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40)] complex reacts with the alkylarene substrate to yield a radical-cation-based donor-acceptor intermediate, N(IV)O(2)[H(4)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40)]-ArCH(2)R(+)(*). Concurrent proton transfer yields an alkylarene radical, ArCHR(*), and NO(2). Alternatively, it is possible that the N(V)O(2)(+)[H(4)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40)] complex abstracts a hydrogen atom from alkylarene substrate to directly yield ArCHR(*) and NO(2). The electron transfer-proton transfer and hydrogen abstraction scenarios are supported by the correlation of the reaction rate with the ionization potential and the bond dissociation energy at the benzylic positions of the alkylarene, respectively, the high kinetic isotope effect determined for substrates deuterated at the benzylic position, and the reaction order in the catalyst. Product selectivity in the oxidation of phenylcyclopropane tends to support the electron transfer-proton transfer pathway. The ArCHR(*) and NO(2) radical species undergo heterocoupling to yield a benzylic nitrite, which undergoes hydrolysis or acetolysis and subsequent reactions to yield benzylic acetates and corresponding aldehydes or ketones as final products.     

Interaction of Keggin anions of 12-tungstophosphoric acid with Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2 solid solutions

The interaction of 20 wt% 12-tungstophosphoric acid with Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) solid solutions has been studied by PXRD, FTIR, FT-Raman, H(2)-TPR, NH(3)-TPD, diffuse reflectance UV-vis-NIR, and (31)P MAS NMR techniques. The study indicates that the Keggin anions are attached to Lewis metal ion centres and anion vacancies on Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) supports through WO terminal bonds. The Keggin units at the interface are chemically perturbed as indicated by non-intrinsic IR bands observed at 958 cm(-1) (WO(ter) bond), and 1052, 1102 cm(-1) (PO bond). NH(3)-TPD shows that the Keggin anions fixed to Lewis sites and/or oxygen ion vacancies decrease the ammonia uptake on Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) solid solutions. H(2)-TPR shows modified redox behaviour of Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) solid solutions due to the simultaneous reduction of ceria, decomposition of Keggin anions and the reduction of WO(3). The broadening of (31)P MAS NMR and DR-UV-vis-NIR spectra demonstrate the existence of chemical interactions between the Keggin anions and Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) supports.     

Location, acid strength, and mobility of the acidic protons in Keggin 12-H3PW12O40: a combined solid-state NMR spectroscopy and DFT quantum chemical calculation study

Solid-state 13C NMR experiments and quantum chemical Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of acetone adsorption were used to study the location of protons in anhydrous 12-tungstophosphoric acid (HPW), the mobility of the isolated and hydrated acidic protons, and the acid strength heterogeneity of the anhydrous hydroxyl groups. This study presents the first direct NMR experimental evidence that there are two types of isolated protons with different acid strengths in the anhydrous Keggin HPW. Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) NMR experiments combined with quantum chemical DFT calculations demonstrated that acidic protons in anhydrous HPW are localized on both bridging (Oc) and terminal (Od) atoms of the Keggin unit. The CP/MAS NMR experiments revealed that the isolated acidic protons are immobile, but hydrated acidic protons are highly mobile at room temperature. The isotropic chemical shift of the adsorbed acetone suggested that the acid strength of the H(H2O)n+ species in partially hydrated HPW is comparable to that of a zeolite, while the acidity of an isolated proton is much stronger than that of a zeolite. Isolated protons on the bridging oxygen atoms of anhydrous HPW are nearly superacidic.     

Elucidation of structure and location of V(IV) ions in heteropolyacid catalysts H4PVMo11O40 as studied by hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy and pulsed electron nuclear double resonance at W- and X-band frequencies.

Electron spin resonance, pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy at W- and X-band frequencies, and hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopy have been employed to determine the location of the V(IV) ions in H4PVMo11O40 heteropolyacid catalysts. In these materials the heteropolyanions have the well-known structure of the Keggin molecule. Interactions of the unpaired electrons of the paramagnetic vanadyl ions (VO(2+)) with all relevant nuclei 1H, 31P, and 51V) could be resolved. The complete analysis of the hyperfine coupling tensor for the phosphorus nucleus in the fourth coordination sphere of the V(IV) ion allowed for the first time a detailed structural analysis of the paramagnetic ions in heteropolyacids in hydrated and dehydrated catalysts. The 31P and 1H ENDOR results show that V(IV) ions are incorporated as vanadyl pentaaqua complexes [VO(H2O)5](2+) in the void space between the heteropolyanions in the hydrated heteropolyacid. For the dehydrated H4PVMo11O40 materials the distance between the V(IV) ion and the central phosphorus atom of the Keggin molecule could be determined with high accuracy on the basis of orientation-selective 31P ENDOR experiments and HYSCORE spectroscopy. The results give a first direct experimental evidence that the paramagnetic vanadium species are not incorporated at molybdenum sites into the Keggin structure of H4PVMo11O40 and also do not act as bridges between two Keggin units after calcination of the catalyst. The vanadyl species are found to be directly attached to the Keggin molecules. The VO(2+) ions are coordinated to four or three outer oxygen atoms from one PVMo11 heteropolyanion in a trigonal-pyramidal or slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, respectively.

双帽Keggin型杂多阴离子[H4As3Mo12O40]-和Keggin型杂多酸H3PM12O40 (M＝Mo, W)质子化的DFT研究

选用B3LYP方法在LanL2MB水平下, 对双帽α-Keggin型杂多阴离子[H₄As₃Mo₁₂O₄₀]^-的电子结构和质子的定位进行了密度泛函理论(DFT)研究. 结果表明, 双帽的形成大大影响了杂多阴离子[As₃Mo₁₂O₄₀]^5－的电子结构和性质, NBO分析显示参与成帽的三桥氧上的电子密度比双桥氧上的要大, 简单地从电荷密度来看, 质子将首先在三桥氧上定域成键, 但通过比较质子定域在几种桥氧上质子化稳定化能的大小, 发现[H₄As₃Mo₁₂O₄₀]^-中的四个质子将在八个双桥氧中的其中四个氧原子上定位, 而不是如文献中报道的在四个三桥氧上定域成键. 对杂多酸H₃PM₁₂O₄₀ (M＝Mo, W)中质子的定位也进行了理论计算并与文献进行了比较, 结果显示, H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀中质子是定位在双桥氧上; 而H₃PW₁₂O₄₀中质子将优先在双桥氧上定位, 但也可在端氧上定位; 这一结果与文献报道的相一致.     

Infrared and computational investigation of vanadium-substituted Keggin [PVnW12-nO40](n+3)- polyoxometallic anions

This study investigates complex salts of [PW(12)O(40)](3-), [PVW(11)O(40)](4-), [PV(2)W(10)O(40)](5-), and [PV(3)W(9)O(40)](6-) Keggin anions using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy under ambient atmospheric and high-vacuum conditions and by computational methods. A detailed vibrational study suggests that the presence and amount of vanadium in these anions can be tested quickly and reliably with the help of infrared spectroscopy because the salts of these anions exhibit distinctly different infrared absorption signatures (particularly in the 1025-1250 cm(-1) region, where the P-O stretch is surrounded by a set of complex vibrations involving V-O and W-O bonds). Investigation of these salts with different countercations suggests that the overall appearance of the spectra, and thus the ability to use infrared as a diagnostic tool to identify the presence and number of vanadium atoms in Keggin structure anions, is not affected significantly. Last, it is shown that all the structures investigated are extremely stable across a wide range of temperatures.     

Synthesis and characterization of a twin Cubane-type molybdenum-rhodium-sulfur cluster, [{Mo3RhCp*S4(H2O)7(O)}2]8+. X-ray structure of [{Mo3RhCpS4(H2O7O}2](CH3C6H4SO3)(8).14H2O

The reaction of [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) (1) with [(CpRhCl(2))(2)] afforded a novel rhodium-molybdenum cluster, [{Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(7)(O)}(2)](8+) (2). X-ray structure analysis of [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O (pts(-) = CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3)(-)) has revealed the existence of a new oxo-bridged twin cubane-type core, (Mo(3)RhCpS(4))(2)(O)(2). The high affinity of the CpRh group for sulfur atoms in 1 seems to be the main driving force for this reaction. The strong Lewis acidity of the CpRh group in intermediate A, [Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(9)](6+), caused a release of proton from one of the water molecules attached to the molybdenum atoms to give intermediate B, [Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(8)(OH)](5+). The elimination of two water molecules from two intermediate B molecules, followed by the deprotonation reaction of hydroxo bridges, generated the twin cubane-type cluster 2. The formal oxidation states of rhodium and molybdenum atoms are the same before and after the reaction (i.e., Mo(IV)(3), Rh(III)). The Mo-O-Mo moieties in [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O are nearly linear with a bond angle of 164.3(3) degrees, and the basicity of the bridging oxygen atoms seems to be weak. For this reason, protonation at the bridging oxygen atoms does not occur even in a strongly acidic aqueous solution. The binding energy values of Mo 3d(5/2), Rh 3d(5/2), and C 1s obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements for [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O are 229.8, 309.3, and 285 eV, respectively. The XPS measurements on the Rh 3d(5/2) binding energy indicate that the oxidation state of Rh is 3+. The binding energy of Mo 3d(5/2) (229.8 eV) compares with that observed for [1](pts)(4).7H(2)O (230.7 eV, Mo 3d(5/2)). A lower energy shift (0.9 eV) is observed in the binding energy of Mo 3d(5/2) for [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O. This energy shift may correspond to the coordination of an oxygen atom having a negative charge to the molybdenum atom.

Interplay between defect structure and catalytic activity in the Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) mixed-oxide system

The Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) solid-solution systems (0≤x≤10) were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results show the existence of paramagnetic vanadyl VO(2+) species, whose concentration becomes maximal for Mo(5)V(5)O(y·). A quantitative analysis of the [VO(2+)] concentration as a function of the Mo/V ratio allows it to characterize the prevailing defect chemistry in the Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) system. In this respect, the semi-conducting properties of Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) are p-type in an interval of Mo(9)V(1)O(y)-Mo(5)V(5)O(y) and switch into n-type because of the conduction electrons in a composition range of Mo(5)V(5)O(y)-Mo(1)V(9)O(y). Highest catalytic activity is obtained when vanadium acts as an acceptor center and oxygen vacancies ν(··)(O) are formed for reasons of charge compensation. In addition to the surface, ν(··)(O) and VO(2+) centers in the bulk have to be considered too for heterogeneous catalysis.
