Phosphine σ-sydnonyl complexes of Ni,Pd, and Pt

3-R"-4-Bromosydnones 1 (R" = Me) and 2 (R" = Ph) react with complexes Ì(PR₃)_n (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) to form mononuclear phosphine -sydnonyl d⁸-complexes of trans-configuration MBr(3-R"-sydnon-4-yl)(PR₃)₂: 3, 4 (Ì = Ni, R" = Ph); 5 (M = Pd, R" = Me); 6a (M = Pd, R" = Ph); 7 (M = Pt, R" = Ph). In the reaction of bromosydnone 2 with Pd(PPh₃)₄, the cis-complex PdBr(3-Ph-sydnon-4-yl)(PPh₃)₂ (6b) is formed initially; 6b rearranges in solution to give trans-complex 6a. On heating in THF, complex 6a is converted into the binuclear [PdBr(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl)(PPh₃)]₂ complex (8). The reaction of 4-chloromercurio-3-phenylsydnone (10) with Ni(PEt₃)₄, Pd(PPh₃)₄, and Pt(PPh₃)₄ gives mononuclear NiCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl)(PEt₃)₂ complex (11), binuclear [PdCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl) (PPh₃)]₂ complex (14), and cis- and trans-bimetallic PtCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylmercurio)(PPh₃)₂ complexes 15a and 15b, respectively. UV irradiation of 15a and 15b in a benzene solution induces redox demercuration to yield the PtCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylcarbonyl)(PPh₃)₂ complex (16). In carbonylation of complexes 3, 6, and 7, CO insertion into the M--C bond occurred to form the corresponding acyl derivatives MBr(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylcarbonyl)(PR₃)₂ (17--19).

Which Metals are Green for Catalysis? Comparison of the Toxicities of Ni,Cu, Fe,Pd, Pt,Rh, and Au Salts

Environmental profiles for the selected metals were compiled on the basis of available data on their biological activities. Analysis of the profiles suggests that the concept of toxic heavy metals and safe nontoxic alternatives based on lighter metals should be re‐evaluated. Comparison of the toxicological data indicates that palladium, platinum, and gold compounds, often considered heavy and toxic, may in fact be not so dangerous, whereas complexes of nickel and copper, typically assumed to be green and sustainable alternatives, may possess significant toxicities, which is also greatly affected by the solubility in water and biological fluids. It appears that the development of new catalysts and novel applications should not rely on the existing assumptions concerning toxicity/nontoxicity. Overall, the available experimental data seem insufficient for accurate evaluation of biological activity of these metals and its modulation by the ligands. Without dedicated experimental measurements for particular metal/ligand frameworks, toxicity should not be used as a “selling point” when describing new catalysts.

纳米团簇Au19Pd和Au19Pt催化解离N2O

采用密度泛函理论研究Au-Pd和Au-Pt 纳米团簇催化解离N₂O. 首先根据计算得到Au₁₉Pd和Au₁₉Pt 团簇的最优构型(杂原子均位于团簇的表面). 以Au₁₉Pd催化解离N₂O为例研究催化解离的反应机理. 对此主要考虑两个反应机理, 分别是Eley-Rideal (ER)和Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH). 第一个机理中N₂O解离的能垒是1.118 eV, 并且放热0.371 eV. N₂分子脱附后, 表面剩余的氧原子沿着ER路径消除需要克服的能垒是1.920eV, 这比反应沿着LH路径的能垒高0.251 eV. 此外根据LH机理, 氧原子在表面的吸附能是-3.203 eV, 而氧原子在表面转移所需的能垒是0.113 eV, 这表明氧原子十分容易在团簇表面转移, 从而促进氧气分子的生成. 因此, LH为最优反应路径. 为了比较Au₁₉Pd和Au₁₉Pt 对N₂O解离的活性, 根据最优的反应路径来研究Au₁₉Pt 催化解离N₂O, 得到作为铂族元素的铂和钯对N₂O的解离有催化活性, 尤其是钯. 同时, 将团簇与文献中的Au-Pd合金相比较, 得到这两种团簇对N₂O 解离有较高的活性, 尤其是Au₁₉Pd团簇. 再者, O₂的脱附不再是影响反应的主要原因, 这可以进一步提高团簇解离N₂O的活性.     

噻吩在M(111)(M=Pd,Pt, Au)表面的吸附

采用密度泛函理论(DFT), 选取DMol³程序模块, 对噻吩在M(111) (M=Pd, Pt, Au)表面上的吸附行为进行了探讨. 通过对噻吩在不同底物金属上的吸附能、吸附构型、Mulliken 电荷布居、差分电荷密度以及态密度的分析发现, 噻吩在Pd(111)面上的吸附能最大, Pt(111)面次之, Au(111)面最小. 吸附后, 噻吩在Au(111)面上的构型几乎保持不变, 最终通过S端倾斜吸附于top 位; 噻吩在Pd(111)及Pt(111)面上发生了折叠与变形, 环中氢原子向上翘起, 最终通过环平面平行吸附于hollow 位. 此外, 噻吩环吸附后芳香性遭到了破坏, 环中碳原子发生sp³杂化, 同时电子逐渐由噻吩向M(111)面发生转移, M(111)面上的部分电子也反馈给了噻吩环中的空轨道, 这种协同作用最终导致了噻吩分子稳定吸附于M(111)面.

The Ligand-Exchange Reactions of Rod-Like Au25-nMn (M=Au,Ag, Cu,Pd, Pt) Nanoclusters with Cysteine – A Density Functional Theory Study

The atomic precision of ultrasmall noble-metal nanoclusters (NMNs) is fundamental for elucidating structure-property relationships and probing their practical applications. So far, the atomic structure of NMNs protected by organic ligands has been widely elucidated, whereas the precise atomic structure of NMNs protected by water-soluble ligands (such as peptides and nucleic acid), has been rarely reported. With the concept of “precision to precision”, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to probe the thermodynamic plausibility and inherent determinants for synthesizing atomically precise, water-soluble NMNs via the framework-maintained two-phase ligand-exchange method. A series of rod-like Au_25-nM_n (M=Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, Pt) NMNs with the same framework but varied ligands and metal compositions was chosen as the modeling reactants, and cysteine was used as the modeling water-soluble ligand. It was found that the acidity of the reaction remarkably affects the thermodynamic facility of the ligand exchange reactions. Ligand effects (structural distortion and acidity) dominate the overall thermodynamic facility of the ligand-exchange reaction, while the number and type of doped metal atom(s) has little influence.     

Preparation of polymeric modifier-attached graphene-supported bimetallic Pt–Pd nanocomposites,and their electrochemical properties as electro-catalysts

Graphene-supported bimetallic nanocomposites were synthesized by a modified sodium borohydride reduction method. Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) was used as modifier for good dispersion and higher metal alloy content. The micro-structure and dispersive properties of the electro-catalysts were determined by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the Pt–Pd electro-catalysts were studied by cyclic voltammetry. This analysis confirmed that functional groups on the graphene oxide (GO) sheet were chemically bonded to the PDDA layer. The average particle diameter of Pt–Pd_{1 to 0.5}–PDDA–reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was found to be 2.4 ± 0.4 nm which is the smallest platinum metal particle size among Pt–Pd–PDDA–RGO electro-catalysts. The electrochemically active surface area was studied and the activity was found to be enhanced by use of the polymeric modifier.     

Thermochemistry of Pd–In,Pd–Sn and Pd–Zn alloy systems

The standard enthalpy of formation of several Pd–M alloys (M = In, Sn and Zn) has been measured using a high temperature direct drop calorimeter. The reliability of the calorimetric results has been determined and supported by using different analytical techniques: light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA with EDS detector) and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The values of Δ_fH (kJ/mol atoms) for the following phases were obtained for the formation in the solid state at 300 K: PdIn (49 at.%In): ?69.0 ± 1.0; Pd₂In₃ ?57.0 ± 1.0; Pd₃In₇: ?43.0 ± 1.0; PdSn₂: ?50.0 ± 1.0; Pd₂Zn₉ (77 at.%Zn): ?33.7 ± 1.0; Pd₂Zn₉ (78 at.%Zn): ?34.0 ± 1.0; Pd₂Zn₉ (80 at.%Zn): ?35.0 ± 1.0. The results show exothermic values which increase from the Pd–Zn to the Pd–Sn and Pd–In systems; the data obtained have been discussed in comparison with those available in literature.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Transition Metal M（100） （M = Ni,Pd, Pt,Cu, Ag and Au） Surfaces

The adsorption of cyanide on the top site of a series of transition metal M（100） （M = Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt） surfaces via carbon and nitrogen atoms respectively, with the CN axis perpendicular to the surface, has been studied by means of density functional theory and cluster model. Geometry, adsorption energy and vibrational frequencies have been determined, and the present calculations show that the adsorption of CN through C-end on metal surface is more favorable than that via N-end for the same surface. The vibrational frequencies of CN for C-down configuration on surface are blue-shifted with respect to the free CN, which is contrary to the change of vibrational frequencies when CN is adsorbed by N-down structure. Furthermore, the charge transfer from surface to CN causes the increase of surface work function.     

Iodo Derivatives of Bimetallic Fe—Pd and Fe—Pt Complexes. Crystal Structures of

Summary.  Iodo derivatives of diphosphine-bridged heterobimetallic Fe—Pd and Fe—Pt complexeshave been prepared in which an alkoxysilyl ligand bridges the two metals in a μ₂−η²-SiO manner. In the course of their synthesis by halide exchange from (dppx = dppm (Ph₂ PCH₂ PPh₂) or dppa (Ph₂PNHPPh₂); M = Pd or Pt), loss of the alkoxysilyl ligand occurred resulting in the formation of complexes in which a bridging iodide has replaced, as a 3e⁻-donor, the bridging alkoxysilyl ligand. These complexes of formula (M = Pd, Pt are better prepared by reaction of with [MI₂(cod)]. The crystal structures of (2a), (2b), and  · CH₂Cl₂ (3b · CH₂Cl₂) have been determined by X-ray diffraction.

Synthesis and characterization of Sibunit-supported Pd–Ga,Pd–Zn,and Pd–Ag catalysts for liquid-phase acetylene hydrogenation

Pd/Sibunit and Pd–M/Sibunit (M = Ga, Zn, or Ag) catalysts have been synthesized, and their catalytic properties in liquid-phase acetylene hydrogenation have been investigated. Doping of the palladium catalyst with a metal M leads to the formation of the Pd₂Ga, PdZn, or Pd_0.46Ag_0.54 bimetallic compound. The bimetallic particles are much smaller (1.6–2.0 nm) than the monometallic palladium particles (4.0 nm). Doping with zinc raises the ethylene selectivity by 25% without affecting the activity of the catalyst. Specific features of the effect of each of the dopants on palladium are reported.     

Selected electrochemical properties of Pd–Au alloys: hydrogen absorption and surface oxidation

Hydrogen absorption into and surface oxidation of Pd–Au alloys in acidic solutions were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) coupled with the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The influence of alloy bulk and surface composition on the process of oxidation of absorbed hydrogen was examined. The stresses induced by hydrogen insertion in Pd–Au alloys were compared with the case of pure Pd. The potential corresponding to the formation of a monolayer of surface oxide was determined for Pd–Au alloys of different surface states. Electrochemical dissolution of Pd–Au alloys was investigated.     

DFT studies of the characteristics of Pd−Pt core-shell clusters

It is reported that Pd?Pt core-shell type nanoclusters in which the inner atoms of the Pd cluster are substituted by Pt significantly enhance the catalytic activity for cycloocatdiene hydrogenation. In order to discuss the electronic states of core-shell clusters, DFT calculations were carried out for Pd₁₃, Pt₁₃, Pt/Pd₁₂, Pd/Pt₁₂ Pd₃₈ and Pd₆/Pt₃₂ clusters. From these calculations, it was found that the charge transfer between the core atoms and the shell atoms played an important role for the modification of the electronic state of the surface atoms in them.

Highly Ordered Macroporous Au and Pd by Colloidal Crystal Templating

The highly ordered macroporous Au and Pd with regular arrays of spherical pores have been synthesized by poly (styrene-co-acrylic) (PSA) colloidal crystal template. The pore size is tuneable in the range of 100-400 nm according to the size of PSA latex. The mechanism is based on the in-situ impregnating and reducing of metal ions in the interspaces of the PSA spheres then removing the template.     

Preparation of onion-like Pd–Bi–Au/C trimetallic catalyst and their application

This paper describes the preparation of dispersed onion-like Pd–Bi–Au/C catalyst with average diameter of 13 nm obtained by consecutive chemical reduction of precursor gold, bismuth and palladium salts in aqueous solution and immobilization on active carbon. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy experiments were performed to analyze the structure and to characterize the Pd–Bi–Au/C catalyst. The onion-like morphology is composed of high content of gold inner core, a Bi-rich intermediate layer and a Pd-rich external layer. The catalytic activity of the catalyst was subsequently investigated and they were found to be efficient catalysts for the aerobic liquid phase oxidation. The results showed that the catalytic activity of Pd–Bi–Au/C was higher than that of Pd–Au/C bimetallic catalyst, indicating that bismuth plays an important role in synergistic effect between gold and palladium.
