Bottom-Up Meets Top-Down: Patchy Hybrid Nonwovens as an Efficient Catalysis Platform

Heterogeneous catalysis with supported nanoparticles (NPs) is a highly active field of research. However, the efficient stabilization of NPs without deteriorating their catalytic activity is challenging. By combining top-down (coaxial electrospinning) and bottom-up (crystallization-driven self-assembly) approaches, we prepared patchy nonwovens with functional, nanometer-sized patches on the surface. These patches can selectively bind and efficiently stabilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The use of these AuNP-loaded patchy nonwovens in the alcoholysis of dimethylphenylsilane led to full conversion under comparably mild conditions and in short reaction times. The absence of gold leaching or a slowing down of the reaction even after ten subsequent cycles manifests the excellent reusability of this catalyst system. The flexibility of the presented approach allows for easy transfer to other nonwoven supports and catalytically active NPs, which promises broad applicability.

Tea-bag-like polymer nanoreactors filled with gold nanoparticles

Gold-containing polymer nanotubes, which showed both catalytic activity and resistance to leaching, were prepared by the "tubes by fiber templates" (TUFT) process. For this purpose, electrospun polymer nonwovens with incorporated poly(L-lactide)-stabilize

Charge Modified Porous Organic Polymer Stabilized Ultrasmall Platinum Nanoparticles for the Catalytic Dehydrogenative Coupling of Silanes with Alcohols

Developing an ideal stabilizer to prevent the aggregation of nanoparticles is still a big challenge for the practical application of noble metal nanocatalysts. Herein, we develop a charge (NTf2?) modified porous organic polymer (POP-NTf2) to stabilize ultrasmall platinum nanoparticles. The catalyst is characterized and applied in the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of silanes with alcohols. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance with highly dispersed ultrasmall platinum nanoparticles (ca. 2.22?nm). Moreover, the catalyst can be reused at least five times without any performance significant loss and Pt NPs aggregation. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Photocatalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of silanes with alcohols and water

An efficient method for the dehydrogenative coupling of silanes with alcohols under photocatalysis was developed. The reaction proceeded in the presence of Ru(bpy)3Cl2(0.5 mol%) under visible light irradiation in acetonitrile at room temperature. The developed methodology was also applicable for the synthesis of silanols using water as a coupling partner.

Manganese-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Silylation of Alkenes following Two Parallel Inner-Sphere Pathways

We report on an additive-free Mn(I)-catalyzed dehydrogenative silylation of terminal alkenes. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe)(CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The catalytic process is initiated by migratory insertion of a CO ligand into the Mn-alkyl bond to yield an acyl intermediate which undergoes rapid Si-H bond cleavage of the silane HSiR3 forming the active 16e- Mn(I) silyl catalyst [Mn(dippe)(CO)2(SiR3)] together with liberated butanal. A broad variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes was efficiently and selectively converted into E-vinylsilanes and allylsilanes, respectively, at room temperature. Mechanistic insights are provided based on experimental data and DFT calculations revealing that two parallel reaction pathways are operative: an acceptorless reaction pathway involving dihydrogen release and a pathway requiring an alkene as sacrificial hydrogen acceptor.

Half-sandwich ruthenium(ii) complexes with tethered arene-phosphinite ligands: Synthesis, structure and application in catalytic cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions of silanes and alcohols

The preparation of the tethered arene-ruthenium(ii) complexes [RuCl2{η6:κ1(P)-C6H5(CH2)nOPR2}] (R = Ph, n = 1 (9a), 2 (9b), 3 (9c); R = iPr, n = 1 (10a), 2 (10b), 3 (10c)) from the corresponding phosphinite ligands R2PO(CH2)nPh (R = Ph, n = 1 (1a), 2 (1b), 3 (1c); R = iPr, n = 1 (2a), 2 (2b), 3 (2c)) is presented. Thus, in a first step, the treatment at room temperature of tetrahydrofuran solutions of dimers [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-arene)}2] (arene = p-cymene (3), benzene (4)) with 1-2a-c led to the clean formation of the corresponding mononuclear derivatives [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){R2PO(CH2)nPh}] (5-6a-c) and [RuCl2(η6-benzene){R2PO(CH2)nPh}] (7-8a-c), which were isolated in 66-99% yield. The subsequent heating of 1,2-dichloroethane solutions of these compounds at 120 °C allowed the exchange of the coordinated arene. The substitution process proceeded faster with the benzene derivatives 7-8a-c, from which complexes 9-10a-c were generated in 61-82% yield after 0.5-10 h of heating. The molecular structures of [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){iPr2PO(CH2)3Ph}] (6c) and [RuCl2{η6:κ1(P)-C6H5(CH2)nOPiPr2}] (n = 1 (10a), 2 (10b), 3 (10c)) were unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. In addition, complexes [RuCl2{η6:κ1(P)-C6H5(CH2)nOPR2}] (9-10a-c) proved to be active catalysts for the dehydrogenative coupling of hydrosilanes and alcohols under mild conditions (r.t.). The best results were obtained with [RuCl2{η6:κ1(P)-C6H5(CH2)3OPiPr2}] (10c), which reached TOF and TON values up to 117 600 h-1 and 57 000, respectively.

High Production of Hydrogen on Demand from Silanes Catalyzed by Iridium Complexes as a Versatile Hydrogen Storage System

The catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of silanes and alcohols represents a convenient process to produce hydrogen on demand. The catalyst, an iridium complex of the formula [IrCp?(Cl)2(NHC)] containing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand functionalized with a pyrene tag, catalyzes efficiently the reaction at room temperature producing H2 quantitatively within a few minutes. As a result, the dehydrogenative coupling of 1,4-disilabutane and methanol enables an effective hydrogen storage capacity of 4.3 wt % that is as high as the hydrogen contained in the dehydrogenation of formic acid, positioning the silane/alcohol pair as a potential liquid organic hydrogen carrier for energy storage. In addition, the heterogenization of the iridium complex on graphene presents a recyclable catalyst that retains its activity for at least 10 additional runs. The homogeneous distribution of catalytic active sites on the basal plane of graphene prevents diffusion problems, and the reaction kinetics are maintained after immobilization.

Platinum Complexes with a Phosphino-Oxime/Oximate Ligand

The platinum(II) complex [PtCl2(COD)] (2; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) reacted with 1 and 2 equiv. of 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzaldehyde oxime (1) to generate [PtCl2{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NOH}] (3) and [Pt{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NOH}2][Cl]2 (4), respectively. Deprotonation of the oxime hydroxyl group of 3 with Na2CO3 led to the selective formation of the dinuclear species (μ-O)-[PtCl{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NO}]2 (5), while the related methylated derivative (μ-O)-[PtMe{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NO}]2 (7) could be obtained from the direct reaction of [PtMe2(COD)] (6) with the phosphino-oxime ligand 1. In the case of 4, its treatment with Na2CO3 yielded complex [Pt({κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NO}2H)][Cl] (8), as a result of the deprotonation of only one of the OH groups of 4. On the other hand, contrary to what was observed with 6, no deprotonation of the oxime occurred in the reaction of [PtMe3I]4 (9) with 1, from which the mononuclear PtIV derivative fac-[PtIMe3{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH=NOH}] (10) was isolated. The solid-state structures of compounds 3, 4, 7 and 10 were determined by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the potential of all the synthesized complexes as catalysts for the dehydrogenative coupling of hydrosilanes with alcohols is also briefly discussed.

Cationic rhenium(iii) complexes: synthesis, characterization, and reactivity for hydrosilylation of aldehydes

A series of novel cationic Re(iii) complexes [(DAAm)Re(CO)(NCCH3)2][X] [DAAm = N,N-bis(2-arylaminoethyl)methylamine; aryl = C6F5 (a), Mes (b)] [X = OTf (2), BArF4 [BArF4 = tetrakis[3,5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate] (3), BF4 (4), PF6 (5)], and their analogue [(DAmA)Re(CO)(Cl)2] [DAmA = N,N-bis(2-arylamineethyl)methylamino; aryl = C6F5] (6) were synthesized. The catalytic efficiency for the hydrosilylation reaction of aldehydes using 4a (0.03 mol%) has been demonstrated to be significantly more active than rhenium catalysts previously reported in the literature. The data suggest that electron-withdrawing substituents at the diamido amine ligand increase the catalytic efficiency of the complexes. Excellent yields were achieved at ambient temperature under neat conditions using dimethylphenylsilane. The reaction affords TONs of up to 9200 and a TOF of up to 126 h-1. Kinetic and mechanistic studies were performed, and the data suggest that the reaction is via a non-hydride ionic hydrosilylation mechanism.
