Low-temperature hydroformylation of ethylene by phosphorous stabilized Rh sites in a one-pot synthesized Rh-(O)-P-MFI zeolite. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7174. [PMID: 37935688 PMCID: PMC10630368 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-42938-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Zeolites containing Rh single sites stabilized by phosphorous were prepared through a one-pot synthesis method and are shown to have superior activity and selectivity for ethylene hydroformylation at low temperature (50 °C). Catalytic activity is ascribed to confined Rh2O3 clusters in the zeolite which evolve under reaction conditions into single Rh3+ sites. These Rh3+ sites are effectively stabilized in a Rh-(O)-P structure by using tetraethylphosphonium hydroxide as a template, which generates in situ phosphate species after H2 activation. In contrast to Rh2O3, confined Rh0 clusters appear less active in propanal production and ultimately transform into Rh(I)(CO)2 under similar reaction conditions. As a result, we show that it is possible to reduce the temperature of ethylene hydroformylation with a solid catalyst down to 50 °C, with good activity and high selectivity, by controlling the electronic and morphological properties of Rh species and the reaction conditions.

Abstract
One possible solution to closing the loop on carbon emissions is using CO2 as the carbon source to generate high-value, multicarbon products. In this Perspective, we describe four tandem reaction strategies for converting CO2 into C3 oxygenated hydrocarbon products (i.e., propanal and 1-propanol), using either ethane or water as the hydrogen source: (1) thermocatalytic CO2-assisted dehydrogenation and reforming of ethane to ethylene, CO, and H2, followed by heterogeneous hydroformylation, (2) one-pot conversion of CO2 and ethane using plasma-activated reactions in combination with thermocatalysis, (3) electrochemical CO2 reduction to ethylene, CO, and H2, followed by thermocatalytic hydroformylation, and (4) electrochemical CO2 reduction to CO, followed by electrochemical CO reduction to C3 oxygenates. We discuss the proof-of-concept results and key challenges for each tandem scheme, and we conduct a comparative analysis of the energy costs and prospects for net CO2 reduction. The use of tandem reaction systems can provide an alternative approach to traditional catalytic processes, and these concepts can be further extended to other chemical reactions and products, thereby opening new opportunities for innovative CO2 utilization technologies.

Abstract
Catalysts for hydroformylation of ethene were prepared by grafting Rh into nests of ≡SiOZn-OH or ≡SiOCo-OH species prepared in dealuminated BEA zeolite. X-ray absorption spectra and infrared spectra of adsorbed CO were used to characterize the dispersion of Rh. The Rh dispersion was found to increase markedly with increasing M/Rh (M = Zn or Co) ratio; further increases in Rh dispersion occurred upon use for ethene hydroformylation catalysis. The turnover frequency for ethene hydroformylation measured for a fixed set of reaction conditions increased with the fraction of atomically dispersed Rh. The ethene hydroformylation activity is 15.5-fold higher for M = Co than for M = Zn, whereas the propanal selectivity is slightly greater for the latter catalyst. The activity of the Co-containing catalyst exceeds that of all previously reported Rh-containing bimetallic catalysts. The rates of ethene hydroformylation and ethene hydrogenation exhibit positive reaction orders in ethene and hydrogen but negative orders in carbon monoxide. In situ IR spectroscopy and the kinetics of the catalytic reactions suggest that ethene hydroformylation is mainly catalyzed by atomically dispersed Rh that is influenced by Rh-M interactions, whereas ethene hydrogenation is mainly catalyzed by Rh nanoclusters. In situ IR spectroscopy also indicates that the ethene hydroformylation is rate limited by formation of propionyl groups and by their hydrogenation, a conclusion supported by the measured H/D kinetic isotope effect. This study presents a novel method for creating highly active Rh-containing bimetallic sites for ethene hydroformylation and provides new insights into the mechanism and kinetics of this process.

Abstract
A frontier challenge in single-atom (SA) catalysis is the design of fully inorganic sites capable of emulating the high reaction selectivity traditionally exclusive of organometallic counterparts in homogeneous catalysis. Modulating the direct coordination environment in SA sites, via the exploitation of the oxide support's surface chemistry, stands as a powerful albeit underexplored strategy. We report that isolated Rh atoms stabilized on oxygen-defective SnO2 uniquely unite excellent TOF with essentially full selectivity in the gas-phase hydroformylation of ethylene, inhibiting the thermodynamically favored olefin hydrogenation. Density Functional Theory calculations and surface characterization suggest that substantial depletion of the catalyst surface in lattice oxygen, energetically facile on SnO2 , is key to unlock a high coordination pliability at the mononuclear Rh centers, leading to an exceptional performance which is on par with that of molecular catalysts in liquid media.
