Abstract
The catalytic production of propylene via propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a key reaction in the chemical industry. By combining operando transmission electron microscopy with density functional theory analysis, we show that the intercalation and ordering of carbon on Pt interstitials to form Pt-C solid solutions is relevant for increasing propylene production. More specifically, we found that at the point of enhanced propylene formation, the structure of platinum nanoparticles is transformed into a transient caesium chloride-type Pt-C polymorph. At more elevated temperatures, the zincblende and rock salt polymorphs seemingly coexist. When propylene production was highest, multiple crystal structures consisting of Pt and carbon were occasionally found to coexist in one individual nanoparticle, distorting the Pt lattice. Catalyst coking was detected at all stages of the reaction, but did initially not affect all particles. These findings could lead to the development of novel synthesis strategies towards tailoring highly efficient PDH catalysts.

[PMID: 38407502 PMCID: PMC11098551 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202317710] [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: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Stereoselective hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted olefins is an attractive method to access compounds with two contiguous stereocenters. However, homogeneous catalysts for enantio- and diastereoselective hydrogenation exhibit low reactivity toward tetrasubstituted olefins due to steric crowding between the ligand scaffold and the substrate. Monometallic heterogeneous catalysts, on the other hand, provide accessible surface active sites for hindered olefins but exhibit unpredictable and inconsistent stereoinduction. In this work, we develop a Pt-Ni bimetallic alloy catalyst that can diastereoselectively hydrogenate unactivated, sterically-bulky tetrasubstituted olefins, utilizing the more oxophilic Ni atoms to adsorb a hydroxyl directing group and direct facially-selective hydrogen addition to the olefin via the Pt atoms. Structure-activity studies on several Pt-Ni compositions underscore the importance of exposing a uniform PtNi alloy surface to achieve high diastereoselectivity and minimize side reactions. The optimized Pt-Ni/SiO2 catalyst exhibits good functional group tolerance and broad scope for tetrasubstituted olefins in a cyclopentene scaffold, generating cyclopentanol products with three contiguous stereocenters. The synthetic utility of the method is demonstrated in a four-step synthesis of (1R,2S)-(+)-cis-methyldihydrojasmonate with high yield and enantiopurity.

Abstract
Maintaining the stability of single-atom catalysts in high-temperature reactions remains extremely challenging because of the migration of metal atoms under these conditions. We present a strategy for designing stable single-atom catalysts by harnessing a second metal to anchor the noble metal atom inside zeolite channels. A single-atom rhodium-indium cluster catalyst is formed inside zeolite silicalite-1 through in situ migration of indium during alkane dehydrogenation. This catalyst demonstrates exceptional stability against coke formation for 5500 hours in continuous pure propane dehydrogenation with 99% propylene selectivity and propane conversions close to the thermodynamic equilibrium value at 550°C. Our catalyst also operated stably at 600°C, offering propane conversions of >60% and propylene selectivity of >95%.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:12739-12746.

Abstract
Propane Dehydrogenation is a key technology, where Pt-based catalysts have widely been investigated in industry and academia, with development exploring the use of promoters (Sn, Zn, Ga, etc.) and additives (Na, K, Ca, Si, etc.) towards improved catalytic performances. Recent studies have focused on the role of Ga promotion: while computations suggest that Ga plays a key role in enhancing catalytic selectivity and stability of PtGa catalysts through Pt-site isolation as well as morphological changes, experimental evidence are lacking because of the use of oxide supports that prevent more detailed investigation. Here, we develop a methodology to generate Pt and PtGa nanoparticles with tailored interfaces on carbon supports by combining surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) and specific thermolytic molecular precursors containing or not siloxide ligands. This approach enables the preparation of supported nanoparticles, exhibiting or not an oxide interface, suitable for state-of-the art electron microscopy and XANES characterization. We show that the introduction of Ga enables the formation of homogenously alloyed, amorphous PtGa nanoparticles, in sharp contrast to highly crystalline monometallic Pt nanoparticles. Furthermore, the presence of an oxide interface is shown to stabilize the formation of small particles, at the expense of propene selectivity loss (formation of cracking side-products, methane/ethene), explaining the use of additives such as Na, K and Ca in industrial catalysts.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation is an important industrial reaction to access propene, the world's second most used polymer precursor. Catalysts for this transformation are required to be long living at high temperature and robust toward harsh oxidative regeneration conditions. In this work, combining surface organometallic chemistry and thermolytic molecular precursor approach, we prepared well-defined silica-supported Pt and alloyed PtZn materials to investigate the effect of Ti-doping on catalytic performances. Chemisorption experiments and density functional calculations reveal a significant change in the electronic structure of the nanoparticles (NPs) due to the Ti-doping. Evaluation of the resulting materials PtZn/SiO2 and PtZnTi/SiO2 during long deactivation phases reveal a stabilizing effect of Ti in PtZnTi/SiO2 with a kd of 0.015 h-1 compared to PtZn/SiO2 with a kd of 0.022 h-1 over 108 h on stream. Such a stabilizing effect is also present during a second deactivation phase after applying a regeneration protocol to the materials under O2 and H2 at high temperatures. A combined scanning transmission electron microscopy, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and density functional theory study reveals that this effect is related to a sintering prevention of the alloyed PtZn NPs in PtZnTi/SiO2 due to a strong interaction of the NPs with Ti sites. However, in contrast to classical strong metal-support interaction, we show that the coverage of the Pt NPs with TiOx species is not needed to explain the changes in adsorption and reactivity properties. Indeed, the interaction of the Pt NPs with TiIII sites is enough to decrease CO adsorption and to induce a red-shift of the CO band because of electron transfer from the TiIII sites to Pt0.

Abstract
Rh-based catalysts modified by transition metals have been intensively studied for CO2 hydrogenation due to their high activity. However, understanding the role of promoters at the molecular level remains challenging due to the ill-defined structure of heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we constructed well-defined RhMn@SiO2 and Rh@SiO2 model catalysts via surface organometallic chemistry combined with thermolytic molecular precursor (SOMC/TMP) approach to rationalize the promotional effect of Mn in CO2 hydrogenation. We show that the addition of Mn shifts the products from almost pure CH4 to a mixture of methane and oxygenates (CO, CH3OH, and CH3CH2OH) upon going from Rh@SiO2 to RhMn@SiO2. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirms that the MnII is atomically dispersed in the vicinity of metallic Rh nanoparticles and enables to induce the oxidation of Rh to form the Mn-O-Rh interface under reaction conditions. The formed interface is proposed to be key to maintaining Rh+ sites, which is related to suppressing the methanation reaction and stabilizing the formate species as evidenced by in situ DRIFTS to promote the formation of CO and alcohols.

Abstract
PtSn catalysts were synthesized by incipient-wetness impregnation using a dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticle support. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, TEM, XPS and Raman, and their catalytic performance for propane dehydrogenation was tested. The influences of Pt/Sn ratios were investigated. Changing the Pt/Sn ratios influences the interaction between Pt and Sn. The catalyst with a Pt/Sn ratio of 1:2 possesses the highest interaction between Pt and Sn. The best catalytic performance was obtained for the Pt1Sn2/DMSN catalyst with an initial propane conversion of 34.9%. The good catalytic performance of this catalyst is ascribed to the small nanoparticle size of PtSn and the favorable chemical state and dispersion degree of Pt and Sn species.
