Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202411639. [PMID: 38976517 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202411639] [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: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Dinuclear metal synergistic catalysis (DMSC) has been proved an effective approach to enhance catalytic efficiency in photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, while it remains challenge to design dinuclear metal complexes that can show DMSC effect. The main reason is that the influence of the microenvironment around dinuclear metal centres on catalytic activity has not been well recognized and revealed. Herein, we report a dinuclear cobalt complex featuring a planar structure, which displays outstanding catalytic efficiency for photochemical CO2-to-CO conversion. The turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) values reach as high as 14457 and 0.40 s-1 respectively, 8.6 times higher than those of the corresponding mononuclear cobalt complex. Control experiments and theoretical calculations revealed that the enhanced catalytic efficiency of the dinuclear cobalt complex is due to the indirect DMSC effect between two CoII ions, energetically feasible one step two-electron transfer process by Co2 I,I intermediate to afford Co2 II,II(CO2 2-) intermediate and fast mass transfer closely related with the planar structure.

Abstract
Isomerization of epoxides into versatile allylic alcohols is an atom-economical synthetic method to afford vicinal bifunctional groups. Comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to elucidate the complex mechanism of a bimetallic Ti/Co-catalyzed selective isomerization of epoxides to allyl alcohols by examining several possible pathways. Our results suggest a possible mechanism involving (1) radical-type epoxide ring opening catalyzed by Cp2Ti(III)Cl leading to a Ti(IV)-bound β-alkyl radical, (2) hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) catalyzed by the Co(II) catalyst to form the Ti(IV)-enolate and Co(III)-H intermediate, (3) protonation to give the alcohols, and (4) proton abstraction to form the Co(I) species followed by electron transfer to regenerate the active Co(II) and Ti(III) species. Moreover, bimetallic catalysis and two-state reactivity enable the key rate-determining HAT step. Furthermore, a subtle balance between dispersion-driven bimetallic processes and entropy-driven monometallic processes determines the most favorable pathway, among which the monometallic process is energetically more favorable in all steps except the vital hydrogen-atom transfer step. Our study should provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding of bimetallic catalysis.

Abstract
The massive emission of excess greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) have an irreversible impact on the Earth's ecology. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECR), a technique that utilizes renewable energy sources to create highly reduced chemicals (e.g. C2H4, C2H5OH), has attracted significant attention in the science community. Cu-based catalysts have emerged as promising candidates for ECR, particularly in producing multi-carbon products that hold substantial value in modern industries. The formation of multi-carbon products involves a range of transient intermediates, the behaviour of which critically influences the reaction pathway and product distribution. Consequently, achieving desirable products necessitates precise regulation of these intermediates. This review explores state-of-the-art designs of Cu-based catalysts, classified into three categories based on the different prospects of the intermediates' modulation: heteroatom doping, morphological structure engineering, and local catalytic environment engineering. These catalyst designs enable efficient multi-carbon generation in ECR by effectively modulating reaction intermediates.

Abstract
A series of benzofulvenes without any electron-withdrawing substituents were employed as 2π-type dipolarophiles for the first time to participate in Cu(i)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions of azomethine ylides. An intrinsic non-benzenoid aromatic characteristic from benzofulvenes serves as a key driving force for activation of the electron-rich benzofulvenes. Utilizing the current methodology, a wide range of multi-substituted chiral spiro-pyrrolidine derivatives containing two contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers were formed in good yield with exclusive chemo-/regioselectivity and high to excellent stereoselectivity. Computational mechanistic studies elucidate the origin of the stereochemical outcome and the chemoselectivity, in which the thermostability of these cycloaddition products is the major factor.

Abstract
In certain metalloenzymes, multimetal centers with appropriate primary/secondary coordination environments allow carbon-carbon coupling reactions to occur efficiently and with high selectivity. This same function is seldom realized in molecular electrocatalysts. Herein we synthesized rod-shaped nanocatalysts with multiple copper centers through the molecular assembly of a triphenylphosphine copper complex (CuPPh). The assembled molecular CuPPh catalyst demonstrated excellent electrochemical CO2 fixation performance in aqueous solution, yielding high-value C2+ hydrocarbons (ethene) and oxygenates (ethanol) as the main products. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and quasi-in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and reaction intermediate capture, we established that the excellent catalytic performance originated from the large number of double copper centers in the rod-shaped assemblies. Cu-Cu distances in the absence of CO2 were as long as 7.9 Å, decreasing substantially after binding CO2 molecules indicating dynamic and cooperative function. The double copper centers were shown to promote carbon-carbon coupling via a CO2 transfer-coupling mechanism involving an oxalate (OOC-COO) intermediate, allowing the efficient production of C2+ products. The assembled CuPPh nanorods showed high activity, excellent stability, and a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) to C2+ products (65.4%), with performance comparable to state-of-the-art copper oxide-based catalysts. To our knowledge, our findings demonstrate that harnessing metalloenzyme-like properties in molecularly assembled catalysts can greatly improve the selectivity of CO2RR, promoting the rational design of improved CO2 reduction catalysts.

Abstract
Two concise strategies to synthesize oxazolidin-2-imines by cascade nucleophilic attack/addition cyclization reactions of (Z)-2-bromo-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ols/3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ols and diphenyl carbodiimides without a transition-metal catalyst have been developed. The reactions exhibited good substrate applicability tolerance, and a variety of substituted (Z)-4-((Z)-benzylidene)-N,3-diphenyloxazolidin-2-imines were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields with good stereoselectivity. The reports also provided a convenient strategy to synthesize 3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ols by (Z)-2-bromo-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ols. The economic and practical methods provide a great advantage for potential industrial synthesis of oxazolidin-2-imines.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into multicarbon (C2+ ) compounds by reductive homocoupling offers the possibility to transform renewable energy into chemical energy carriers and thereby create "carbon-neutral" fuels or other valuable products. Most available studies have employed heterogeneous metallic catalysts, but the use of molecular catalysts is still underexplored. However, several studies have already demonstrated the great potential of the molecular approach, namely, the possibility to gain a deep mechanistic understanding and a more precise control of the product selectivity. This Minireview summarizes recent progress in both the thermo- and electrochemical reductive homocoupling of CO2 toward C2+ products mediated by molecular catalysts. In addition, reductive CO homocoupling is discussed as a model for the further conversion of intermediates obtained from CO2 reduction, which may serve as a source of inspiration for developing novel molecular catalysts in the future.

Abstract
Homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis have been widely applied in synthetic, medicinal, and energy chemistry as well as synthetic biology. Driven by developments of new computational chemistry methods and better computer hardware, computational chemistry has become an essentially indispensable mechanistic "instrument" to help understand structures and decipher reaction mechanisms in catalysis. In addition, synergy between computational and experimental chemistry deepens our mechanistic understanding, which further promotes the rational design of new catalysts. In this Account, we summarize new or deeper mechanistic insights (including isotope, dispersion, and dynamical effects) into several complex homogeneous reactions from our systematic computational studies along with subsequent experimental studies by different groups. Apart from uncovering new mechanisms in some reactions, a few computational predictions (such as excited-state heavy-atom tunneling, steric-controlled enantioswitching, and a new geminal addition mechanism) based on our mechanistic insights were further verified by ensuing experiments.The Zimmerman group developed a photoinduced triplet di-π-methane rearrangement to form cyclopropane derivatives. Recently, our computational study predicted the first excited-state heavy-atom (carbon) quantum tunneling in one triplet di-π-methane rearrangement, in which the reaction rates and 12C/13C kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) can be enhanced by quantum tunneling at low temperatures. This unprecedented excited-state heavy-atom tunneling in a photoinduced reaction has recently been verified by an experimental 12C/13C KIE study by the Singleton group. Such combined computational and experimental studies should open up opportunities to discover more rare excited-state heavy-atom tunneling in other photoinduced reactions. In addition, we found unexpectedly large secondary KIE values in the five-coordinate Fe(III)-catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder pathway, even with substantial C-C bond formation, due to the non-negligible equilibrium isotope effect (EIE) derived from altered metal coordination. Therefore, these KIE values cannot reliably reflect transition-state structures for the five-coordinate metal pathway. Furthermore, our density functional theory (DFT) quasi-classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrated that the coordination mode and/or spin state of the iron metal as well as an electric field can affect the dynamics of this reaction (e.g., the dynamically stepwise process, the entrance/exit reaction channels).Moreover, we unveiled a new reaction mechanism to account for the uncommon Ru(II)-catalyzed geminal-addition semihydrogenation and hydroboration of silyl alkynes. Our proposed key gem-Ru(II)-carbene intermediates derived from double migrations on the same alkyne carbon were verified by crossover experiments. Additionally, our DFT MD simulations suggested that the first hydrogen migration transition-state structures may directly and quickly form the key gem-Ru-carbene structures, thereby "bypassing" the second migration step. Furthermore, our extensive study revealed the origin of the enantioselectivity of the Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with β-substituted alkenyl bicyclic heteroarenes enabled by dual coordination of both substrates. Such mechanistic insights promoted our computational predictions of the enantioselectivity reversal for the corresponding monocyclic heteroarene substrates and the regiospecific addition to the less reactive internal C═C bond of one diene substrate. These predictions were proven by our experimental collaborators. Finally, our mechanistic insights into a few other reactions are also presented. Overall, we hope that these interactive computational and experimental studies enrich our mechanistic understanding and aid in reaction development.

Abstract
Nanocomposites with novel architectures and multifunctional properties have attracted extensive attention among related researchers. Herein, we develop a magnetically responsive Ni/CuNi nanoparticle (NP) decoration of Cu-based composites that could serve as recoverable nanocatalysts for nitroaromatics reduction. The nanocatalysts consist of an inner copper core and abundant tiny satellite Ni/CuNi NPs, which are tightly combined as a stable whole part by a silica interlayer and a carbon outer layer. In addition to the high catalytic activity, the outer Ni/CuNi NPs exhibit a strong magnetic response toward the external magnetic field, thereby offering a convenient way to separate the composites from the reaction solution. Moreover, characterization results reveal that high annealing temperature (above 700 °C) favors the construction of yolk-shell nanostructures and the formation of outer bimetallic CuNi NPs. As a result, owing to the excellent catalytic performance of the Cu inner cores, the high coverage of outer Ni or CuNi NPs, and the unique sandwich-like structure, the resultant Cu@SiO2@C-Ni composites show the use of such magnetically responsive recoverable nanocatalysts for the 4-nitrophenol reduction. Hence, this research could provide new guidelines for designing and synthesizing novel and efficient copper-based composites for other fields, such as carbon dioxide reduction, energy storage, and batteries.

Abstract
We report the binding geometries of the isomers that are formed when the hydrogen oxalate ((CO2)2H=HOx) anion attaches to dinuclear coinage metal phosphine complexes of the form [M1M2dcpm2(HOx)]+ with M=Cu, Ag and dcpm=bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane, abbreviated [MM]+. These structures are established by comparison of isomer‐selective experimental vibrational band patterns displayed by the cryogenically cooled and N2‐tagged cations with DFT calculations of the predicted spectra for various local minima. Two isomeric classes are identified that feature either attachment of the carboxylate oxygen atoms to the two metal centers (end‐on docking) or attachment of oxygen atoms on different carbon atoms asymmetrically to the metal ions (side‐on docking). Within each class, there are additional isomeric variations according to the orientation of the OH group. This behavior indicates that HOx undergoes strong and directional coordination to [CuCu]+ but adopts a more flexible coordination to [AgAg]+. Infrared spectra of the bare ions, fragmentation thresholds and ion mobility measurements are reported to explore the behaviors of the complexes at ambient temperature.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into useful resources by electrocatalysis and photocatalysis is a promising strategy for recycling of the gas and electrification of industries. Numerous studies have shown that multinuclear metal catalysts have higher selectivity and catalytic activity than monometallic catalysts due to the synergistic effects between the metal sites. In this review, we summarize some of the recent progress on the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2 by earth-abundant bimetallic molecular catalysts.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction to value-added chemicals and fuels is a promising approach to mitigate the greenhouse effect arising from anthropogenic CO2 emission and energy shortage caused by the depletion of nonrenewable fossil fuels. The generation of multicarbon (C2+) products, especially hydrocarbons and oxygenates, is of great interest for industrial applications. To date, Cu is the only metal known to catalyze the C-C coupling in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) with appreciable efficiency and kinetic viability to produce a wide range of C2 products in aqueous solutions. Nonetheless, poor product selectivity associated with Cu is the main technical problem for the application of the eCO2RR technology on a global scale. Based on extensive research efforts, a delicate and rational design of electrocatalyst architecture using the principles of nanotechnology is likely to significantly affect the adsorption energetics of some key intermediates and hence the inherent reaction pathways. In this review, we summarize recent progress that has been achieved by tailoring the electrocatalyst architecture for efficient electrochemical CO2 conversion to the target C2 products. By considering the experimental and computational results, we further analyze the underlying correlations between the architecture of a catalyst and its selectivity toward C2 products. Finally, the major challenges are outlined, and directions for future development are suggested.

Abstract
The mechanism studies of transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions
investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations in the recent ten years have been
reviewed. This review introduces the computational mechanism studies of Ni-, Pd-, Cu- and
some other metals (Rh, Ti and Zr)-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions and presents the
methodology used in these computational mechanism studies. The mechanisms of the transition-
metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions normally include three main steps: oxidative
addition; transmetalation; and reductive elimination or four main steps: the first oxidative
addition; reduction; the second oxidative addition; and reductive elimination. The ratelimiting
step is most likely the final reductive elimination step in the whole mechanism.
Currently, the B3LYP method used in DFT calculations is the most popular choice in the structural geometry
optimizations and the M06 method is often used to carry out single-point calculations to refine the energy values.
We hope that this review will stimulate more and more experimental and computational combinations and the
computational chemistry will significantly contribute to the development of future organic synthesis reactions.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into valuable chemicals is a significant route to utilize CO2 resources. Among various electroreduction products, oxalic acid (H2 C2 O4 ) is an important chemical for pharmaceuticals, rare earth extraction, and metal processing. Here, an aprotic aromatic ester-functionalized ionic liquid (IL), 4-(methoxycarbonyl) phenol tetraethylammonium ([TEA][4-MF-PhO]), was designed as an electrolyte for CO2 electroreduction into oxalic acid. It exhibited a large oxalic acid partial current density of 9.03 mA cm-2 with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 86 % at -2.6 V (vs. Ag/Ag+ ), and the oxalic acid formation rate was as high as 168.4 μmol cm-2 h-1 , which is the highest reported value to date. Moreover, the results of density functional theory calculations demonstrated that CO2 was efficiently activated to a -COOH intermediate by bis-active sites of the aromatic ester anion via the formation of a [4-MF-PhO-COOH]- adduct, which finally dimerized into oxalic acid.

Nat Commun 2020; 11:1850. [PMID: 32296076 PMCID: PMC7160212 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15599-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Accepted: 03/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction is an important synthetic method for many natural products. An iron(III) catalyst was developed to catalyze the challenging HDA reaction of unactivated aldehydes and dienes with high selectivity. Here we report extensive density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics simulations that show effects of iron (including its coordinate mode and/or spin state) on the dynamics of this reaction: considerably enhancing dynamically stepwise process, broadening entrance channel and narrowing exit channel from concerted asynchronous transition states. Also, our combined computational and experimental secondary KIE studies reveal unexpectedly large KIE values for the five-coordinate pathway even with considerable C-C bond forming, due to equilibrium isotope effect from the change in the metal coordination. Moreover, steric and electronic effects are computationally shown to dictate the C=O chemoselectivity for an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, which is verified experimentally. Our mechanistic study may help design homogeneous, heterogeneous and biological catalysts for this challenging reaction.

Abstract
A group of copper complexes supported by polydentate pyridylamide ligands H2bpda and H2ppda were synthesized and characterized. The two Cu(II) dimers [CuII2(Hbpda)2(ClO4)2] (1) and [CuII2(ppda)2(DMF)2] (2) were constructed by using neutral ligands to react with Cu(II) salts. Although the dimers showed similar structural features, the second-sphere interactions affect the structures differently. With the application of Et3N, the tetranuclear cluster (HNEt3)[CuII4(bpda)2(μ3-OH)2(ClO4)(DMF)3](ClO4)2 (3) and hexanuclear cluster (HNEt3)2[CuII6(ppda)6(H2O)2(CH3OH)2](ClO4)2 (4) were prepared under similar reaction conditions. The symmetrical and unsymmetrical arrangement of the ligand donors in ligands H2bpda and H2ppda led to the dramatic conformation difference of the two Cu(II) complexes. As part of our effort to explore mixed-valence copper chemistry, the triple-decker pentanuclear cluster [CuII3CuI2(bpda)3(μ3-O)] (5) was prepared. XPS examination demonstrated the localized mixed-valence properties of complex 5. Magnetic studies of the clusters with EPR evidence showed either weak ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interactions among copper centers. Due to the trigonal-planar conformation of the trinuclear Cu(II) motif with the μ3-O center, complex 5 exhibits geometric spin frustration and engages in antisymmetric exchange interactions. DFT calculations were also performed to better interpret spectroscopic evidence and understand the electronic structures, especially the mixed-valence nature of complex 5.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels and value-added fine chemicals is of significant interest for both the environment and the global energy demand. In this frontier article, we highlight viable methods for transforming CO2 into valuable C1 feedstocks and summarize the key mechanistic aspects obtained by in-depth computational investigations of three important pathways of two-electron CO2 reduction: (i) CO2 dissociation to CO (ii) CO2 dimerization to CO32- and CO, and (iii) CO2 hydrogenation to formate. Lastly, we present our outlook on how theoretically obtained mechanistic insights could be translated into strategies for designing efficient non-noble-metal catalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels has attracted increasing attention, providing a promising route for mitigating the greenhouse effect of CO2 and also meeting the global energy demand. Among many homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction, this mini-review is focused on heme and nonheme metal complexes that act as effective catalysts for the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Because metalloporphyrinoids show strong absorption in the visible region, which is sensitive to the oxidation states of the metals and ligands, they are suited for the detection of reactive intermediates in the catalytic CO2 reduction cycle by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The first part of this review deals with the catalytic mechanism for the one-electron reduction of CO2 to oxalic acid with heme and nonheme metal complexes, with an emphasis on how the formation of highly energetic CO2˙ is avoided. Then, the catalytic mechanism of two-electron reduction of CO2 to produce CO and H2O is compared with that to produce HCOOH. The effect of metals and ligands of the heme and nonheme complexes on the CO or HCOOH product selectivity is also discussed. The catalytic mechanisms of multi-electron reduction of CO2 to methanol (six-electron reduced product) and methane (eight-electron reduced product) are also discussed for both electrocatalytic and photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
One-electron reduction of Cu3EL (L3- = tris(β-diketiminate)cyclophane, and E = S, Se) affords [Cu3EL]-, which reacts with CO2 to yield exclusively C2O42- (95% yield, TON = 24) and regenerate Cu3EL. Stopped-flow UV/visible data support an A→B mechanism under pseudo-first-order conditions ( kobs, 298K = 115(2) s-1), which is 106 larger than those for reported copper complexes. The kobs values are dependent on the countercation and solvent (e.g., kobs is greater for [K(18-crown-6)]+ vs (Ph3P)2N+, and there is a 20-fold decrease in kobs in THF vs DMF). Our results suggest a mechanism in which cations and solvent influence the stability of the transition state.
