Understanding the landscape of molecular photocatalysis is vital to enable efficient conversion feedstock molecules targeted products and inhibit off-cycle reactivity. In this study, light-promoted reactivity [RuCp*2]+ was explored via electronic structure, photophysical, photostability studies within a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution cycle assessed. TD-DFT calculations support assignment low-energy ligand-to-metal charge transfer transition (LMCT) centered at 500 nm, where an electron...
The strategy of incorporating earth-abundant catalytic centers into light-absorbing architectures is desirable from the viewpoint low cost, toxicity, and versatility at activating small molecules to produce solar-based fuels. Herein, we show that an Fe-bearing quaterpyridine molecular species can be anchored a light-absorbing, crystalline, carbon nitride, i.e., yielding molecular-catalyst/material hybrid capable facilitating selective CO2 reduction in aqueous solution. This material...
Crystallites of Cu-coordinated poly(triazine imide) were synthesized by flux methods and deposited from particle suspensions onto electrodes, yielding sizable current densities for the electrocatalytic reduction CO 2 .
Transition-metal-mediated oxygen transfer reactions are of importance in both industry and academia; thus, a series rhenium oxo complexes the type ReO3L (L = O−, Cl−, F−, OH−, Br−, I−) their effects as oxidation catalysts on ethylene have been studied. The activation reaction energies for addition pathways involving multiple spin states (singlet triplet) computed. In all cases, structures singlet potential energy surfaces showed higher stability compared to counterparts triplet (PESs)....
