研究目的
To synthesize and evaluate a heterobimetallic Au(III)-Pt(II) complex as a photocatalyst for water reduction to hydrogen.
研究成果
The covalent supramolecular complex is significantly more efficient than the corresponding dissociated system for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, expanding possibilities for novel photocatalysts in solar energy conversion.
研究不足
The photostability of the catalyst is a limiting factor, with decomposition observed after prolonged irradiation. The efficiency is lower compared to some other supramolecular catalysts, possibly due to shorter emission lifetime and lower quenching constants.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis involved a CuI-catalyzed Sonogashira reaction to covalently associate mononuclear complexes. Photocatalytic studies were conducted under visible-light irradiation with various sacrificial agents and solvent conditions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Complexes 1, 2, and 3 were synthesized and used. Sacrificial agents included H2A, TEA, and TEOA. Solvents were acetone and water mixtures.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not specified in the provided text.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis was performed in a nitrogen atmosphere. Photocatalytic reactions were carried out in deaerated mixtures, with H2 evolution measured by gas chromatography. Absorption and emission spectra were recorded in dichloromethane and acetone/water solutions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
DFT and TD-DFT calculations were used for geometry and electronic structure analysis. Emission quenching constants were determined from Stern-Volmer plots. TON was calculated as moles of H per moles of catalyst.
