Molecular Cobalt Pentapyridine Catalysts for Generating Hydrogen from Water
摘要:
A set of robust molecular cobalt catalysts for the generation of hydrogen from water is reported. The cobalt complex supported by the parent pentadentate polypyridyl ligand PY5Me(2) features high stability and activity and 100% Faradaic efficiency for the electrocatalytic production of hydrogen from neutral water, with a turnover number reaching 5.5 x 10(4) mol of H(2) per mole of catalyst with no loss in activity over 60 h. Control experiments establish that simple Co(II) salts, the free PYSMe(2) ligand, and an isostructural PY5Me(2) complex containing redox-inactive Zn(II) are all ineffective for this reaction. Further experiments demonstrate that the overpotential for H(2) evolution can be tuned by systematic substitutions on the ancillary PYSMe(2) scaffold, presaging opportunities to further optimize this first-generation platform by molecular design.
of unactivated alkyl chlorides with tethered alkenes. The cleavage of strong C(sp3)−Cl bonds is mediated by a highly nucleophilic low‐valent cobalt or nickel intermediate generated by visible‐light photoredox reduction employing a copper photosensitizer. The high basicity and multidentate nature of the ligands are key to obtaining efficient metal catalysts for the functionalization of unactivated alkyl

Co2+, Ni2+, Cu+, Cu2+ and Zn2+) was explored. The complexes [1-Fe(OTf)(MeCN)]OTf, [1-Co(OTf)(MeCN)]OTf, [1-Ni(MeCN)3](OTf)2, [1-Cu]OTf, [1-Cu(OTf)(MeCN)]OTf, and [1-Zn(OTf)2] were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. Across this series, 1 exhibits both facial and meridional coordination modes depending on metal ion size. The metal complexes were additionally characterized spectroscopically

A series of heterodimetallic molecules, centered around an LTi=OM2+L′ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) core, are described. Each of these complexes are structurally similar, with L = tmtaa and L′ = Py5Me2. The Ti=OM linkage is slightly bent, varying from 157° (Mn) to 170° (Zn), with bondlengths typical of a dative bondbetween the Ti=O group and the M2+ center. The relative strength of the heterodimetallic
