Role of pendant proton relays and proton-coupled electron transfer on the hydrogen evolution reaction by nickel hangman porphyrins.
The hangman motif provides mechanistic insights into the role of pendant proton relays in governing proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) involved in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We now show improved HER activity of Ni compared with Co hangman porphyrins. Cyclic voltammogram data and simulations, together with computational studies using density functional theory, implicate a shift ...
متن کاملHangman salen platforms containing two xanthene scaffolds.
A synthetic strategy for the construction of chiral salen ligands bearing two rigid xanthene spacers functionalized with carboxylic acid and ester groups is presented. Suzuki cross-coupling methodology is used to furnish the appropriately functionalized xanthene spacers to a salicylaldehyde, which is subsequently condensed with (1R,2R)-(-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane to produce salen ligands featuri...
متن کاملRole of proton-coupled electron transfer in O-O bond activation.
The selective reduction of oxygen to water requires four electrons and four protons. The design of catalysts that promote oxygen reduction therefore requires the management of both electron and proton inventories. Pacman and Hangman porphyrins provide a cleft for oxygen binding, a redox shuttle for oxygen reduction, and functionality for tuning the acid-base properties of bound oxygen and its i...
متن کاملComparison of hydride, hydrogen atom, and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions.
A comparison of hydride, hydrogen atom, and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions is presented. Herein, hydride and hydrogen atom transfer refer to reactions in which the electrons and protons transfer between the same donor and acceptor, while proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) refers to reactions in which the electrons and protons transfer between different centers. Within these def...
متن کاملNickel phlorin intermediate formed by proton-coupled electron transfer in hydrogen evolution mechanism.
The development of more effective energy conversion processes is critical for global energy sustainability. The design of molecular electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction is an important component of these efforts. Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, in which electron transfer is coupled to proton transfer, play an important role in these processes and can be enhanc...
