Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403017. [PMID: 38429994 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Crafting single-atom catalysts (SACs) that possess "just right" modulated electronic and geometric structures, granting accessible active sites for direct room-temperature benzene oxidation is a coveted objective. However, achieving this goal remains a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an innovative in situ phosphorus-immitting strategy using a new phosphorus source (phosphorus nitride, P3N5) to construct the phosphorus-rich copper (Cu) SACs, designated as Cu/NPC. These catalysts feature locally protruding metal sites on a nitrogen (N)-phosphorus (P)-carbon (C) support (NPC). Rigorous analyses, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), validate the coordinated bonding of nitrogen and phosphorus with atomically dispersed Cu sites on NPC. Crucially, systematic first-principles calculations, coupled with the climbing image nudged-elastic-band (CI-NEB) method, provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property-activity relationship of the distorted Cu-N2P2 centers in Cu/NPC for selective oxidation of benzene to phenol production. Interestingly, Cu/NPC has shown more energetically favorable C-H bond activation compared to the benchmark Cu/NC SACs in the direct oxidation of benzene, resulting in outstanding benzene conversion (50.3 %) and phenol selectivity (99.3 %) at room temperature. Furthermore, Cu/NPC achieves a remarkable turnover frequency of 263 h-1 and mass-specific activity of 35.2 mmol g-1 h-1, surpassing the state-of-the-art benzene-to-phenol conversion catalysts to date.

Regulating electron configuration of single Cu sites via unsaturated N,O-coordination for selective oxidation of benzene. Nat Commun 2022; 13:6996.

Abstract
AbstractDeveloping highly efficient catalyst for selective oxidation of benzene to phenol (SOBP) with low H2O2 consumption is highly desirable for practical application, but challenge remains. Herein, we report unique single-atom Cu1-N1O2 coordination-structure on N/C material (Cu-N1O2 SA/CN), prepared by water molecule-mediated pre-assembly-pyrolysis method, can efficiently boost SOBP reaction at a 2:1 of low H2O2/benzene molar ratio, showing 83.7% of high benzene conversion with 98.1% of phenol selectivity. The Cu1-N1O2 sites can provide a preponderant reaction pathway for SOBP reaction with less steps and lower energy barrier. As a result, it shows an unexpectedly higher turnover frequency (435 h−1) than that of Cu1-N2 (190 h−1), Cu1-N3 (90 h−1) and Cu nanoparticle (58 h−1) catalysts, respectively. This work provides a facile and efficient method for regulating the electron configuration of single-atom catalyst and generates a highly active and selective non-precious metal catalyst for industrial production of phenol through selective oxidation of benzene.

Abstract
In this article, construction of amperometric sensor(s) based on screen-printed carbon electrodes covered by thin layers of two types of carbon nanomaterials serving as amplifiers, and containing [Cu(bipy)2Cl]Cl∙5H2O complex is reported. Their performance and biomimetic activity towards two selected neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin) was studied mainly using flow injection analysis (FIA). The important parameters of FIA such as working potential, flow rate, and pH were optimized. The mechanism of the catalytic activity is explained and experimentally confirmed. It reveals that presence of hydrogen peroxide plays a crucial role which leads to answer the title question: can presented complex really be considered as a tyrosinase biomimetic catalyst or only as a redox mediator?

Abstract
Benzene was hydroxylated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper complexes in acetone to yield phenol at 298 K. At higher temperature, phenol was further hydroxylated with H2O2 by catalysis of copper complexes to yield p-benzoquinone. The kinetic study revealed that the rate was proportional to concentrations of benzene and H2O2, but to the square root of concentration of a copper(II) complex ([Cu(tmpa)]2+: tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). The addition of a spin trapping reagent resulted in formation of a spin adduct of hydroperoxyl radical (HO2•), as observed by EPR spectroscopy, inhibiting phenol formation. HO2• produced by the reaction of [Cu(tmpa)]2+ with H2O2 acts as a chain carrier for the radical chain reactions for formation of phenol. When [Cu(tmpa)]2+ was incorporated into mesoporous silica-alumina (Al-MCM-41) by a cation exchange reaction, the selectivity to production of phenol was much enhanced by prevention of hydroxylation of phenol, which was not adsorbed to Al-MCM-41. The high durability with turnover number of 4320 for the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with H2O2 was achieved using [Cu(tmpa)]2+ incorporated into Al-MCM-41 as an efficient and selective catalyst.

Abstract
A series of the mononuclear Cu(II) metal complexes containing the ligand Bdppz [(9a,13a-dihydro-4,5,9,14-tetraaza-benzo[b]triphenylene-11-yl)-phenyl-methanone] (L1) and Aqphen [(12,17-dihydronaphthol[2,3-h]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]-phenazine-12,17-dione)] (L2) were synthesized and used as catalyst for the coupling of carbon dioxide (CO2) and liquid epoxide which served as both reactant and solvent. Dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) was used as co-catalyst. The yields of epoxides to corresponding cyclic carbonates were determined by comparing the ratio of product to substrate in the (1)H NMR spectrum of an aliquot of the reaction mixture. The mononuclear Cu(II) complexes of these ligands were synthesized by treating an ethanol solvent of the appropriate ligand with a different molar amount of CuCl2·2H2O. The Cu(II) complexes were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, melting point analysis, mass spectra, molar conductivity measurements and magnetic susceptibility techniques. The reaction of the Bdppz and Aqphen ligands in a 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3 mole ratio with CuCl2·2H2O afforded ionic Cu(II) complexes in the presence of Et3N.
