Abstract
Electrochemical water oxidation is known as the anodic reaction of water splitting. Efficient design and earth-abundant electrocatalysts are crucial to this process. Herein, we report a family of catalysts (1-3) bearing bis(benzimidazole)pyrazolide ligands (H 2 L1-H 2 L3). H 2 L3 contains electron-donating substituents and noninnocent components, resulting in catalyst 3 exhibiting unique performance. Kinetic studies show first-order kinetic dependence on [3] and [H2O] under neutral and alkaline conditions. In contrast to previously reported catalyst 1, catalyst 3 exhibits an insignificant kinetic isotope effect of 1.25 and zero-order dependence on [NaOH]. Based on various spectroscopic methods and computational findings, the L3Co2 III(μ-OH) species is proposed to be the catalyst resting state and the nucleophilic attack of water on this species is identified as the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic reaction. Computational studies provided insights into how the interplay between the electronic effect and ligand noninnocence results in catalyst 3 acting via a different reaction mechanism. The variation in the turnover-limiting step and catalytic potentials of species 1-3 leads to their catalytic rates being independent of the overpotential, as evidenced by Eyring analysis. Overall, we demonstrate how ligand design may be utilized to retain good water oxidation activity at low overpotentials.
