Wilkinson's iridium acetate trimer as a water-oxidation catalyst.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The catalytic water-oxidation activity of Wilkinson's iridium acetate trimer (1) has been characterized electrochemically and by using chemical oxidants. We show that 1 can function as an operationally homogeneous water-oxidation catalyst when driven with sodium periodate as a primary oxidant, but rapidly decomposes using Ce(IV) as a primary oxidant.

A molecular catalyst for water oxidation that binds to metal oxide surfaces
Molecular catalysts are known for their high activity and tunability, but their solubility and limited stability often restrict their use in practical applications. Here we describe how a molecular iridium catalyst for water oxidation directly and robustly binds to oxide surfaces without the need for any external stimulus or additional linking groups. On conductive electrode surfaces, this hete...
متن کاملAnodic deposition of a robust iridium-based water-oxidation catalyst from organometallic precursors†
Artificial photosynthesis, modeled on natural light-driven oxidation of water in Photosystem II, holds promise as a sustainable source of reducing equivalents for producing fuels. Few robust wateroxidation catalysts capable of mediating this difficult four-electron, four-proton reaction have yet been described. We report a new method for generating an amorphous electrodeposited material, princi...
متن کاملIridium-based complexes for water oxidation.
Organometallic Ir precatalysts have been found to yield homogeneous Ir-based water-oxidation catalysts (WOCs) with very high activity. The Cp*Ir catalyst series can operate under a variety of regimes: it can either act as a homogeneous or a heterogeneous catalyst; it can be driven by chemical, photochemical, or electrochemical methods; and the molecular catalyst can either act in solution or su...
متن کاملKinetic, mechanistic and thermodynamic investigations on Iridium (III) catalyzed oxidation of D-Mannitol by N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide in perchloric acid medium
The present paper deals with the kinetics and mechanism of homogeneously Ir(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of D-mannitol by chloramine-T [CAT] in perchloric acid medium in the temperature range of 30 to 45 0C. The reaction is carried out in the presence of mercuric acetate as a scavenger for chloride ion. The experimental results show first order kinetics with respect to the oxidant [CAT] an...
متن کاملHeterogenized Iridium Water-Oxidation Catalyst from a Silatrane
8 ABSTRACT: A pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) iridium water9 oxidation precatalyst was modified to include a silatrane functional group 10 for covalent attachment to metal oxide semiconductor surfaces. The 11 heterogenized catalyst was found to perform electrochemically driven 12 water oxidation at an overpotential of 462 mV with a turnover number of 13 304 and turnover frequency of 0.035 s−1...
