Preliminary Evidence of Gas-Phase Water Splitting on Holmium Nitrogen Oxide Clusters

Preliminary Evidence of Gas-Phase Water Splitting on Holmium Nitrogen Oxide Clusters Christopher A. Zarzana1, Makayla R. Baxter , Introduction: Molecular hydrogen is a potential energy carrier that could be used to help implement a clean energy economy if it is generated from splitting of water. Improvements in the efficiencies of water-splitting electrolyzers relies on development of novel materials with enhanced performance. However, research in this area is slowed due to underdeveloped understanding of the mechanisms of device performance due to challenges interrogating the fundamental chemical reactions at play in bulk materials. Studies of the intrinsic reactivity of clusters that are representative of the reactive sites of these materials can increase understanding of the fundamental reaction mechanisms involved in hydrogen production, allowing for more efficient development of new water-splitting materials. Methods: Holmium tetranitrato ([Ho(NO3)4]-) clusters were generated in gas-phase using the electrospray ionization source of a Bruker (Billerica, MA, USA) micrOTOF-Q II quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Spray solutions consisted of aqueous holmium (Ho) nitrate solutions (at nominally 3 mM) diluted to 30 µM in acetonitrile. The holmium (Ho) tetranitrato clusters were isolated using the quadrupole and were subsequently activated and allowed to react with background water in the collision cell. High resolution, high mass accuracy spectra were recorded using the time-of-flight. Mass accuracy was ensured using external calibration with Agilent (Santa Clara, CA, USA) ESI-L Low Concentration tuning mix. Preliminary data: Collisional activation of the holmium tetranitrato complexes ([Ln(NO3)4]-) resulted in an expected series of ions resulting from the loss of ·NO and ·NO2. This included an ion at m/z = 382.885 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)3]- (theoretical m/z=382.884, error=-1.2 ppm), resulting from loss of ·NO, and an ion at m/z=366.890 assigned as [HoO(NO3)3]- (theorical m/z=366.889, error=-1.8 ppm), resulting from loss of ·NO2. Additional ions were detected that would result from more complicated losses from [Ho(NO3)4]-, including ions at m/z=320.898 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=320.896, error=-4.9 ppm), at m/z=304.904 assigned as [HoO(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=304.901, error=-8.1 ppm, very low signal), and at m/z=288.908 assigned as [Ho(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=288.907, error=-3.4 ppm). This ion series would arise from loss of some combination of ·NO, ·NO2, and ·NO3, although it is not known whether these losses occur sequentially (e.g. loss of ·NO and ·NO3 to yield [HoO2(NO3)2]-) or as a single species (e.g. direct loss of N2O4). These ions were accompanied by a complementary series representing addition of a single water molecule. This included an ion at m/z=338.908 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)2H2O]- (theoretical m/z=338.907, error=-4.1 ppm), an ion at m/z=322.912 assigned as [HoO(NO3)2H2O]- (theoretical m/z=322.912, error=1.2 ppm), and an ion at m/z=306.918 assigned as [Ho(NO3)2H2O]-, (theoretical m/z=306.918, error=-3.7 ppm). An additional hydrated ion was observed at m/z=276.921 assigned as [HoO2(NO3) H2O]- (theoretical m/z=276.919, error=-7.3 ppm), although corresponding dehydrated ion was not observed. An additional ion was observed at m/z=367.898 that has been assigned as [Ho(NO3)3OH]- (theoretical m/z=367.897, error=-2.5 ppm). It is hypothesized that this ion arises from addition of water to [Ho(NO3)3]- followed by elimination of a hydrogen radical. Neither [Ho(NO3)3]- nor [Ho(NO3)3H2O]- were detected, suggesting that, if the hypothesis is correct, addition of water to [Ho(NO3)3]- and its subsequent splitting is rapid. Elimination of HNO3 from [Ho(NO3)4H2O]- could also yield [Ho(NO3)3OH]-; however, no [Ho(NO3)4H2O]- ions were observed. Novelty: Potential evidence of water splitting on gas-phase lanthanide clusters offers a way to study the intrinsic reactivity of hydrogen-generation materials.

Materials Data on HoGe2Ir by Materials Project

HoIrGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir and nine Ge atoms. There are four shorter (3.23 Å) and two longer (3.29 Å) Ho–Ir bond lengths. There are a spread of Ho–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.51 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir and ten Ge atoms. All Ho–Ir bond lengths are 3.17 Å. There are a spread of Ho–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.41 Å. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five Ho and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.63 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Ho, three equivalent Ir, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.72 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ho, two equivalent Ir, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.48 Å. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to five Ho and two equivalent Ir atoms.
