Azo-conjugated half-sandwich Rh/Ru complexes for homogeneous water-oxidation catalysis.

چکیده
Herein we report the molecular structures and electronic properties of ionic, hydrophobic, half-sandwich complexes of the formula [η(5)-Cp*Rh(L)(MeOH)] (1) and [η(6)-CyRu(L)(H2O)] (2), where L is azo-dye compound of (p-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt). Both these complexes have been investigated electrochemically and found to display good electronic properties for use as water-oxidation catalysts potentially.

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Water Oxidation by Persulfate.
Photocatalytic water oxidation by persulfate (Na2 S2 O8 ) with [Ru(bpy)3 ](2+) (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) as a photocatalyst provides a standard protocol to study the catalytic reactivity of water oxidation catalysts. The yield of evolved oxygen per persulfate is regarded as a good index for the catalytic reactivity because the oxidation of bpy of [Ru(bpy)3 ](2+) and organic ligands of catalysts com...

متن کاملDesigning organometallic compounds for catalysis and therapy.
Bioorganometallic chemistry is a rapidly developing area of research. In recent years organometallic compounds have provided a rich platform for the design of effective catalysts, e.g. for olefin metathesis and transfer hydrogenation. Electronic and steric effects are used to control both the thermodynamics and kinetics of ligand substitution and redox reactions of metal ions, especially Ru(II)...

متن کاملConcerted O atom-proton transfer in the O-O bond forming step in water oxidation.
As the terminal step in photosystem II, and a potential half-reaction for artificial photosynthesis, water oxidation (2H(2)O --> O(2) + 4e(-) + 4H(+)) is key, but it imposes a significant mechanistic challenge with requirements for both 4e(-)/4H(+) loss and O-O bond formation. Significant progress in water oxidation catalysis has been achieved recently by use of single-site Ru metal complex cat...
