Exploring the intermediates of photochemical CO2 reduction: reaction of Re(dmb)(CO)3 COOH with CO2.

چکیده
We have investigated the reaction of Re(dmb)(CO)(3)COOH with CO(2) using density functional theory, and propose a mechanism for the production of CO. This mechanism supports the role of Re(dmb)(CO)(3)COOH as a key intermediate in the formation of CO. Our new experimental work supports the proposed scheme.

Photochemical reduction of CO2 with ascorbate in aqueous solution using vesicles acting as photocatalysts.
We report a novel system of visible-light-driven CO2 reduction to CO in an aqueous solution, in which DPPC vesicles dispersed in the solution act as a photocatalyst using ascorbate (HAsc(-)) as an electron source. In the vesicles metal complexes [Ru(dtb)(bpy)2](2+) and Re(dtb)(CO)3Cl (dtb = 4,4'-ditridecyl-2,2'-bipyridyl) are incorporated, which act as a photosensitizer and a catalyst for CO2 r...
متن کاملMonodisperse Au Nanoparticles for Selective Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO
We report selective electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide on gold nanoparticles (NPs) in 0.5 M KHCO3 at 25 °C. Among monodisperse 4, 6, 8, and 10 nm NPs tested, the 8 nm Au NPs show the maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) (up to 90% at −0.67 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). Density functional theory calculations suggest that more edge sites (active for CO evoluti...
متن کاملInvolvement of a binuclear species with the Re-C(O)O-Re moiety in CO2 reduction catalyzed by tricarbonyl rhenium(I) complexes with diimine ligands: strikingly slow formation of the Re-Re and Re-C(O)O-Re species from Re(dmb)(CO)3S (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, S = solvent).
Excited-state properties of fac-[Re(dmb)(CO)(3)(CH(3)CN)]PF(6), [Re(dmb)(CO)(3)](2) (where dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), and other tricarbonyl rhenium(I) complexes were investigated by transient FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy in CH(3)CN or THF. The one-electron reduced monomer, Re(dmb)(CO)(3)S (S = CH(3)CN or THF), can be prepared either by reductive quenching of the excited states of fac...
متن کاملProton-coupled electron transfer in the electrocatalysis of CO2 reduction: prediction of sequential vs. concerted pathways using DFT.
Herein we investigate computationally in detail the mechanism of the formation of the carboxylate adduct during the electroreduction of CO2 in water catalysed by cobalt porphyrin complexes. Specifically, we address qualitatively the competition between the concerted and sequential pathways for the proton-coupled electron transfer. We use a simple methodology for accurate computation of the pKa ...
متن کاملComputational and experimental study on the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by a new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex.
A new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex, trans-[Ru(dmb)2(Cl)(EtOH)](PF6) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination. The complex was studied as a precatalyst for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in an acetonitrile solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The ca...
