Iron-thiolate complexes of the type [Fe2 (μ-bdt)(CO)6-x P(OMe3 )x ] (bdt=S2 C6 H4 =benzenedithiolate, x≤2) are simplified models iron-iron hydrogenase enzymes. Recently, we have shown that these water-insoluble organometallic complexes, when included into micelles formed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), good catalysts for electrochemical production hydrogen in aqueous solutions at pH<6. We herein report all-CO derivative (μ-bdt)(CO)6 (1), owing to its comparatively low reduction potential,...
The mechanism of reaction FeFe hydrogenases with oxygen has been debated. It is complex, apparently very dependent on the details protein structure, and difficult to study using conventional kinetic techniques. Here we build our recent work anaerobic inactivation enzyme [Fourmond et al. Nat. Chem. 2014, 4, 336-342] propose apply a new method for studying this reaction. Using electrochemical measurements turnover rate hydrogenase, could resolve first steps inhibition accurately determine...
Localized "electroclick" was achieved on azido-terminated self-assembled monolayers using Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) in feedback mode, which the substrate is not electrically connected (unbiased conditions). The method allows both local immobilization of diverse functional moieties and monitoring each modification step at a micrometer scale. Conditions "click" coupling reaction were optimized especially to avoid deposit metallic copper by choice specific ligand stabilize...
Abstract A novel and general strategy for the immobilisation of functional objects onto electrodes is described. The concept based on addition two pendant ethynyl groups a bis(pyridyl)amine derivative, which acts as molecular platform. This platform pre‐functionalised with an N 3 ‐tagged object interest by Huisgen cycloaddition to one in biphasic conditions. Hence, when complexed Cu II , this molecular‐object holder can be immobilised, “self‐induced electroclick”, through second group...
We present here a novel strategy based on the covalent grafting of C-functionalized Ni-cyclam complex onto glassy carbon to achieve heterogeneous electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in neutral water at low overpotential (-500 mV vs. NHE), with moderate turnover number (TON = 454), high selectivity (85% CO produced) and good faradaic efficiency (56% CO). Direct comparison N-functionalized analogue highlights benefits this approach terms electroreduction.
