Force-Modulated C–C Reductive Elimination from Nickel Bis(polyfluorophenyl) Complexes

We have analyzed the rate of C(sp 2 )–C(sp 2 ) reductive elimination from nickel(II) bis(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl) complex-es (P–P)Ni(2,4,6-C 6 H 2 F 3 ) 2 containing either MeOBiPhep (3a) or macrocyclic bisphosphine ligand (3b-3e) as a func-tion of force applied to the biaryl backbone of these ligands through intramolecular tension generated by a molecular force probe. Nickel complexes 3 were isolated in 22-60% yield from reaction of bisphosphine with the bis(tetrahydrofuranyl) complex (THF) 2 Ni(2,4,6-C 6 H 2 F 3 ) 2 followed by chromatography. Thermolysis of complexes 3 in C 6 D 6 at 68 °C leads to first-order decay through > 3 half-lives to form 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexaflurorobiphenyl as the exclusive fluorine-containing product in ≥93% yield. Whereas compressive forces up to –65 pN have no significant effect on the rate of reductive elimination, extension forces increase the rate of reductive elimination by a factor of three over a ~230 pN range of restoring forces relative to the strain-free MeOBiphep complex. Furthermore, the rate response of reductive elimination from nickel(II) bis(trifluorophenyl) complexes as a function of extension force is similar to the previously reported 2.8-fold increase in the rate of reductive elimination from platinum diaryl complexes (P–P)Pt(4-C 6 H 4 NMe 2 ) 2 over the same range of forces

Ultrasmooth Epitaxial Pt Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Platinum (Pt) thin films are useful in applications requiring high-conductivity electrodes with excellent thermal and chemical stability. Ultrasmooth and epitaxial Pt thin films with single-crystalline domains have the added benefit of providing ideal templates for the subsequent growth of heteroepitaxial structures. Here, we grow epitaxial Pt (111) electrodes (ca. 30 nm thick) on sapphire (α-Al 2 O 3 (0001)) substrates with pulsed laser deposition. This versatile technique allows control of the growth process and fabrication of films with carefully tailored parameters. X-ray scattering, atomic-force microscopy, and electron microscopy provide structural characterization of the films. Various gaseous atmospheres and temperatures were explored to achieve epitaxial growth of films with low roughness. A two-step (500 °C/300 °C) growth process was developed, yielding films with improved epitaxy without compromising roughness. The resulting films possess ultrasmooth interfaces (<3 Å) and high electrical conductivity (6.9 × 10 6 S/m). Finally, Pt films were used as current collectors and templates to grow lithium manganese oxide (LiMn 2 O 4 (111)) epitaxial thin films, a cathode material used in Li-ion batteries. In conclusion, using a solid-state ionogel electrolyte, the films were highly stable when electrochemically cycled in the 3.5-4.3 V vs Li/Li + range.

Integrated CO 2 Capture and Conversion to Formate with a Molecular Platinum Bis(diphosphine) Electrocatalyst

Carbon dioxide is a potentially valuable feedstock for carbon-based fuels or commodities but is only available in dilute streams. Many studies have focused on either the capture and concentration of CO 2 or the reduction of pure CO 2 streams. The direct reduction of sorbent-captured CO 2 in an integrated process would skip the energy-intensive CO 2 concentration and sorbent regeneration step. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic reduction of 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium-2-carboxylate (IPr·CO 2 ), which forms quantitatively from the reaction of sorbent 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) with 10% and 0.04% CO 2 streams, by catalyst [Pt(dmpe) 2 ](PF 6 ) 2 (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) to formate with >70% Faradaic efficiencies. Unexpectedly, experimental studies indicate that the proton source phenol facilitates rapid decarboxylation of IPr·CO 2 to release CO 2 , which is the substrate for reduction. Kinetic studies determined the rate of hydride transfer from a catalytic intermediate [HPt(dmpe) 2 ](PF 6 ) to form the C–H bond in formate to be 0.22 M –1 s –1 . Further details on the mechanism, transition state energy, and structure for hydride transfer to CO 2 , a common step in CO 2 reduction, were explored using computational methods.
