Cobalt porphyrins as homogeneous catalysts for water oxidation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three water-soluble cobalt porphyrins have been investigated as water oxidation catalysts via photo-initiation using Ru(II)(bpy)3(2+)/Na2S2O8. The pH dependence of the turnover frequency revealed maximum activity at pH 11. Based on the second order dependence on catalyst concentration for the rate of water oxidation, we suggest a bimolecular radical coupling process as the rate determining step.

Improving singlet oxygen resistance during photochemical water oxidation by cobalt porphyrin catalysts.
Enabling the production of solar fuels on a global scale through artificial photosynthesis requires the development of water oxidation catalysts with significantly improved stability. The stability of photosystems is often reduced owing to attack by singlet oxygen, which is produced during light harvesting. Here, we report photochemical water oxidation by CoFPS, a fluorinated Co-porphyrin desig...
متن کاملEfficient water oxidation catalyzed by homogeneous cationic cobalt porphyrins with critical roles for the buffer base.
A series of cationic cobalt porphyrins was found to catalyze electrochemical water oxidation to O2 efficiently at room temperature in neutral aqueous solution. Co-5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-yl)porphyrin, with a highly electron-deficient meso-dimethylimidazolium porphyrin, was the most effective catalyst. The O2 formation rate was 170 nmol · cm(-2) · min(-1) (k(obs) = 1.4 × 1...
متن کاملImproving the robustness of cobalt porphyrin water oxidation catalysts by chlorination of aryl groups.
The water oxidation (WO) activity of a chlorinated cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin (CoClPS), possessing Cl atoms on the 2,6-positions of the aryl groups, shows higher resistance to attack by singlet oxygen, in situ generated during photochemical WO using Ru(bpy)3(2+) and S2O8(2-) with the turnover frequency (TOF) and turnover number (TON) reaching 1.7 s(-1) and 836, respectively.
متن کاملCobalt porphyrin electrode films for electrocatalytic water oxidation.
Catalysts play very important roles in artificial photosynthesis for solar energy conversion. In this present study, two water-insoluble cobalt porphyrin complexes, cobalt(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (CoP-1) and cobalt(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin (CoP-2), were synthesized and coated as thin films on the FTO working electrode. The films showed good activities for electroca...
متن کاملA fast soluble carbon-free molecular water oxidation catalyst based on abundant metals.
Traditional homogeneous water oxidation catalysts are plagued by instability under the reaction conditions. We report that the complex [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10-, comprising a Co4O4 core stabilized by oxidatively resistant polytungstate ligands, is a hydrolytically and oxidatively stable homogeneous water oxidation catalyst that self-assembles in water from salts of earth-abundant elements (Co, W,...
