研究目的
Investigating the direct scission of the triple bond of dinitrogen (N2) by a metal complex as an entry point into the transformation of N2 to ammonia (NH3) in molecular catalysis.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a well-defined reaction sequence for the reduction of N2 to NH3 using a pincer-ligated rhenium system. The photolytic N2 splitting is effective with certain isomers of the bridging N2 complex, and the resulting nitrido complex can be reduced to NH3 using SmI2/H2O.
研究不足
The study is limited to the use of a specific rhenium complex and conditions for N2 reduction. The photolytic N2 splitting is only effective with certain isomers of the bridging N2 complex.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the synthesis of a pincer-ligated rhenium system and its reduction under N2 to form a bridging N2 complex. The complex undergoes photolytic N2 splitting and proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reduction.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses (PONOP)ReCl3 as the starting material, which is reduced under N2 to form [(PONOP)ReCl2]2(μ-N2).
3:2). List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: The study involves the use of blue light (405 nm LED) for photolysis and SmI2/H2O for PCET reduction.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves the synthesis of the rhenium complex, its reduction under N2, photolytic N2 splitting, and PCET reduction.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study uses spectroscopic yield and quantum yield to quantify the photolytic N2 splitting and PCET reduction.
