Synthesis of [(HIPTNCH2CH2)3N]V compounds (HIPT = 3,5-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2C6H3) and an evaluation of vanadium for the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia.

ABSTRACT: Green [HIPTN3N]V(THF) ([HIPTN3N]3- = [(HIPTNCH2CH2)3N]3-, where HIPT = 3,5-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2C6H3) can be prepared in a 70-80% yield via the addition of H3[HIPTN3N] to VCl3(THF)3 in THF, followed by the addition of LiN(SiMe3)2. From [HIPTN3N]V(THF), the following have been prepared: {[HIPTN3N]VN2}K, [HIPTN3N]V(NH3), [HIPTN3N]V=NH, [HIPTN3N]V=NSiMe3, [HIPTN3N]V=O, [HIPTN3N]V=S, and [HIPTN3N]V(CO). No ammonia is formed from dinitrogen using {[HIPTN3N]VN2}K, [HIPTN3N]V=NH, or [HIPTN3N]V(NH3) as the initial species under conditions that were successful in the analogous [HIPTN3N]Mo system. X-ray structural studies are reported for [HIPTN3N]V(THF) and [HIPTN3N]V(NH3).

Synthesis of [(DPPNCH2CH2)3N]3- molybdenum complexes (DPP = 3,5-(2,5-Diisopropylpyrrolyl)2C6H3) and studies relevant to catalytic reduction of dinitrogen.

Project description:Molybdenum complexes that contain a new TREN-based ligand [(3,5-(2,5-diisopropyl-pyrrolyl)(2)C(6)H(3)NCH(2)CH(2))(3)N](3-) ([DPPN(3)N](3-)) that are relevant to the catalytic reduction of dinitrogen have been prepared. They are [Bu(4)N]{[DPPN(3)N]MoN(2)}, [DPPN(3)N]MoN(2), [DPPN(3)N]MoN=NH, {[DPPN(3)N]MoN=NH(2)}[BAr(f)(4)], [DPPN(3)N]Mo[triple bond]N, {[DPPN(3)N]Mo[triple bond]NH}[BAr(f)(4)], and {[DPPN(3)N]MoNH(3)}[BAr(f)(4)]. NMR and IR data for [Bu(4)N]{[DPPN(3)N]MoN(2)} and [DPPN(3)N]MoN(2) are close to those reported for the analogous [HIPTN(3)N](3-) compounds (HIPT = hexaisopropylterphenyl), which suggests that the degree of reduction of dinitrogen is virtually identical in the two systems. However, X-ray studies and several exchange studies support the conclusion that the apical pocket is less protected in [DPPN(3)N]Mo complexes than in [HIPTN(3)N]Mo complexes. For example, (15)N/(14)N exchange studies showed that exchange in [DPPN(3)N]MoN(2) is relatively facile (t(1/2) approximately 1 h at 1 atm) and depends upon dinitrogen pressure, in contrast to the exchange in [HIPTN(3)N]MoN(2). Several of the [DPPN(3)N]Mo complexes, e.g., the [DPPN(3)N]MoN(2) and [DPPN(3)N]MoNH(3) species, are also less stable in solution than the analogous "parent" [HIPTN(3)N]Mo complexes. Four attempted catalytic reductions of dinitrogen with [DPPN(3)N]MoN yielded 2.53 +/- 0.35 equiv of total ammonia. These studies reveal more than any other just how sensitive a successful catalytic reduction is to small changes in the triamidoamine supporting ligand.

Synthesis of diamidopyrrolyl molybdenum complexes relevant to reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia.

Project description:A potentially useful trianionic ligand for the reduction of dinitrogen catalytically by molybdenum complexes is one in which one of the arms in a [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N](3-) ligand is replaced by a 2-mesitylpyrrolyl-alpha-methyl arm, that is, [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(2)(2-MesitylPyrrolyl)](3-) (R = C(6)F(5), 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3), or 3,5-t-Bu(2)C(6)H(3)). Compounds have been prepared that contain the ligand in which R = C(6)F(5) ([C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr](3-)); they include [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NMe(2)), [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoCl, [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoOTf, and [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoN. Compounds that contain the ligand in which R = 3,5-t-Bu(2)C(6)H(3) ([Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr](3-)) include {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))}Na(15-crown-5), {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))}[NBu(4)], [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2)) (nu(NN) = 2012 cm(-1) in C(6)D(6)), {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3))}BPh(4), and [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(CO). X-ray studies are reported for [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NMe(2)), [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoCl, and [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]MoN. The [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))(0/-) reversible couple is found at -1.96 V (in PhF versus Cp(2)Fe(+/0)), but the [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))(+/0) couple is irreversible. Reduction of {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3))}BPh(4) under Ar at approximately -1.68 V at a scan rate of 900 mV/s is not reversible. Ammonia in [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3)) can be substituted for dinitrogen in about 2 h if 10 equiv of BPh(3) are present to trap the ammonia that is released. [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo-N=NH is a key intermediate in the proposed catalytic reduction of dinitrogen that could not be prepared. Dinitrogen exchange studies in [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2)) suggest that steric hindrance by the ligand may be insufficient to protect decomposition of [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo-N=NH through a variety of pathways. Three attempts to reduce dinitrogen catalytically with [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N) as a "catalyst" yielded an average of 1.02 +/- 0.12 equiv of NH(3).

Catalytic Dinitrogen Reduction to Ammonia at a Triamidoamine-Titanium Complex.

Project description:Catalytic reduction of N2 to NH3 by a Ti complex has been achieved, thus now adding an early d-block metal to the small group of mid- and late-d-block metals (Mo, Fe, Ru, Os, Co) that catalytically produce NH3 by N2 reduction and protonolysis under homogeneous, abiological conditions. Reduction of [TiIV (TrenTMS )X] (X=Cl, 1A; I, 1B; TrenTMS =N(CH2 CH2 NSiMe3 )3 ) with KC8 affords [TiIII (TrenTMS )] (2). Addition of N2 affords [{(TrenTMS )TiIII }2 (μ-η1 :η1 -N2 )] (3); further reduction with KC8 gives [{(TrenTMS )TiIV }2 (μ-η1 :η1 :η2 :η2 -N2 K2 )] (4). Addition of benzo-15-crown-5 ether (B15C5) to 4 affords [{(TrenTMS )TiIV }2 (μ-η1 :η1 -N2 )][K(B15C5)2 ]2 (5). Complexes 3-5 treated under N2 with KC8 and [R3 PH][I], (the weakest H+ source yet used in N2 reduction) produce up to 18 equiv of NH3 with only trace N2 H4 . When only acid is present, N2 H4 is the dominant product, suggesting successive protonation produces [{(TrenTMS )TiIV }2 (μ-η1 :η1 -N2 H4 )][I]2 , and that extruded N2 H4 reacts further with [R3 PH][I]/KC8 to form NH3 .

Catalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia at a single molybdenum center.

Project description:Since our discovery of the catalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia at a single molybdenum center, we have embarked on a variety of studies designed to further understand this complex reaction cycle. These include studies of both individual reaction steps and of ligand variations. An important step in the reaction sequence is exchange of ammonia for dinitrogen in neutral molybdenum(III) compounds. We have found that this exchange reaction is first order in dinitrogen and relatively fast (complete in <1 h) at 1 atm of dinitrogen. Variations of the terphenyl substituents in the triamidoamine ligand demonstrate that the original ligand is not unique in its ability to yield successful catalysts. However, complexes that contain sterically less demanding ligands fail to catalyze formation of ammonia from dinitrogen; it is proposed as a consequence of a base-catalyzed decomposition of a diazenido (Mo-N=NH) intermediate.

Selective Stepwise Reduction of Nitrate and Nitrite to Dinitrogen or Ammonia.

Project description:This study reports a method for the selective reduction of NO3- and NO2- to N2 or NH3, extending prior work in our lab where NO3- was reduced to NO by [N(afaCy)3Fe]OTf2 (N(afaCy)3 = tris(5-cyclohexyl-amineazafulvene-2-methyl)amine, OTf = triflate). The first pathway involves the reduction of NO2- to N2, where the NO generated in the initial step is transformed to N2O by PPh3 and further reduced to N2 by the [N(afaCy)3Fe]OTf2 complex. An alternative pathway showcases the reduction of the bound NO complex, [N(afaCy)3Fe(NO)]2+, to NH3 using chemical reductants, albeit with a modest yield of 29%. Confirmation of the nitrogen source as NO is established through 15N labeling studies. Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is proposed as a plausible intermediate in the reduction of bound NO, supported by independent NH2OH reduction experiments and computational studies. Nature employs a well-orchestrated, stepwise process involving several enzymes to reduce N-containing oxyanions, and this approach provides valuable insights into the stepwise reduction mechanisms of nitrate and nitrite, yielding NH3 or N2 as the product.

Nitrogenase-mimic iron-containing chalcogels for photochemical reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia.

Project description:A nitrogenase-inspired biomimetic chalcogel system comprising double-cubane [Mo2Fe6S8(SPh)3] and single-cubane (Fe4S4) biomimetic clusters demonstrates photocatalytic N2 fixation and conversion to NH3 in ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Replacing the Fe4S4 clusters in this system with other inert ions such as Sb(3+), Sn(4+), Zn(2+) also gave chalcogels that were photocatalytically active. Finally, molybdenum-free chalcogels containing only Fe4S4 clusters are also capable of accomplishing the N2 fixation reaction with even higher efficiency than their Mo2Fe6S8(SPh)3-containing counterparts. Our results suggest that redox-active iron-sulfide-containing materials can activate the N2 molecule upon visible light excitation, which can be reduced all of the way to NH3 using protons and sacrificial electrons in aqueous solution. Evidently, whereas the Mo2Fe6S8(SPh)3 is capable of N2 fixation, Mo itself is not necessary to carry out this process. The initial binding of N2 with chalcogels under illumination was observed with in situ diffuse-reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS). (15)N2 isotope experiments confirm that the generated NH3 derives from N2 Density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations suggest that the N2 binding is thermodynamically favorable only with the highly reduced active clusters. The results reported herein contribute to ongoing efforts of mimicking nitrogenase in fixing nitrogen and point to a promising path in developing catalysts for the reduction of N2 under ambient conditions.

A Chatt-Type Catalyst with One Coordination Site for Dinitrogen Reduction to Ammonia.

Project description:With [Mo(N2 )(P2 Me PP2 Ph )] the first Chatt-type complex with one coordination site catalytically converting N2 to ammonia is presented. Employing SmI2 as reductant and H2 O as proton source 26 equivalents of ammonia are generated. Analogous Mo0 -N2 complexes supported by a combination of bi- and tridentate phosphine ligands are catalytically inactive under the same conditions. These findings are interpreted by analyzing structural and spectroscopic features of the employed systems, leading to the conclusion that the catalytic activity of the title complex is due to the strong activation of N2 and the unique topology of the pentadentate tetrapodal (pentaPod) ligand P2 Me PP2 Ph . The analogous hydrazido(2-) complex [Mo(NNH2 )(P2 Me PP2 Ph )](BArF )2 is generated by protonation with HBArF in ether and characterized by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy. Importantly, it is shown to be catalytically active as well. Along with the fact that the structure of the title complex precludes dimerization this demonstrates that the corresponding catalytic cycle follows a mononuclear pathway. The implications of a PCET mechanism on this reactive scheme are considered.

Hydrazine is a product of dinitrogen reduction by the vanadium-nitrogenase from Azotobacter chroococcum.

Project description:During the enzymic reduction of N2 to NH3 by Mo-nitrogenase, free hydrazine (N2H4) is not detectable, but an enzyme-bound intermediate can be made to yield N2H4 by quenching the enzyme during turnover [Thorneley, Eady & Lowe (1978) Nature (London) 272, 557-558]. In contrast, we show here that the V-nitrogenase of Azotobacter chroococcum produces a small but significant amount of free N2H4 (up to 0.5% of the electron flux resulting in N2 reduction) as a product of the reduction of N2. The amount of N2H4 formed increased 15-fold on increasing the assay temperature from 20 degrees C to 40 degrees C. Activity cross-reactions between nitrogenase components of Mo- and V-nitrogenases showed that the formation of free N2H4 was associated with the VFe protein. These data provide the first direct evidence for an enzyme intermediate at the four-electron-reduced level during the reduction of N2 by V-nitrogenase.

Ambient ammonia synthesis via palladium-catalyzed electrohydrogenation of dinitrogen at low overpotential.

Project description:Electrochemical reduction of N2 to NH3 provides an alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for sustainable, distributed production of NH3 when powered by renewable electricity. However, the development of such process has been impeded by the lack of efficient electrocatalysts for N2 reduction. Here we report efficient electroreduction of N2 to NH3 on palladium nanoparticles in phosphate buffer solution under ambient conditions, which exhibits high activity and selectivity with an NH3 yield rate of ~4.5 μg mg-1Pd h-1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 8.2% at 0.1 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (corresponding to a low overpotential of 56 mV), outperforming other catalysts including gold and platinum. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the unique activity of palladium originates from its balanced hydrogen evolution activity and the Grotthuss-like hydride transfer mechanism on α-palladium hydride that lowers the free energy barrier of N2 hydrogenation to *N2H, the rate-limiting step for NH3 electrosynthesis.

Synthesis and reactivity of oxo-peroxo-vanadium(V) bipyridine compounds.

Project description:The vanadium(IV) compound [V(IV)O(OH)((t)Bu(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4) (V(IV)O(OH)) ((t)Bu(2)bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butylbipyridine) is slowly oxidized by O(2) in ethereal solvents to give the oxo-peroxo compound [V(V)O(O(2))((t)Bu(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4) (V(V)O(O(2))) in excellent yield. This and related compounds were fully characterized by NMR, IR, and optical spectroscopies; mass spectrometry; elemental analyses; and an X-ray crystal structure of the 4,4'-dimethylbipyridine analog, [V(V)O(O(2))(Me(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4). Monitoring the reaction of V(IV)O(OH) with O(2) in THF/acetonitrile mixtures by (1)H NMR and optical spectroscopies surprisingly shows that the initial product is the cis-dioxo compound [V(V)(O)(2)((t)Bu(2)bpy)(2)]BF(4) (V(V)O(2)), which then converts to V(V)O(O(2)). Reaction of V(IV)O(OH) with (18)O(2) gives ca. 60% triply (18)O labeled V(V)O(O(2)). The mechanism of formation of V(V)O(O(2)) is complex and may occur via initial reduction of O(2) at vanadium(IV) to give a superoxo-vanadium(V) intermediate, autoxidation of the THF solvent, or both. That V(V)O(2) is generated first appears to be due to the ability of V(IV)O(OH) to act as a hydrogen atom donor. For instance, V(IV)O(OH) reacts with V(V)O(O(2)) to give V(V)O(2). V(V)O(O(2)) is also slowly reduced to V(IV)O(OH) by the organic hydrogen atom donors hydroquinone and TEMPOH (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol) as well as by triphenylphosphine. Notably, the peroxo complex V(V)O(O(2)) is much less reactive with these substrates than the analogous dioxo compound V(V)O(2).
