AI Article Synopsis
- A cobaloxime catalyst, Co(dmgH)(4-HEP)Cl, with a hydroxo-functionalized pyridine ligand, was studied for its ability to produce hydrogen (H) efficiently.
- The catalyst was immobilized on a chromium terephthalate metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), creating a hybrid that showed improved photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.
- While the lifespan of the cobaloxime catalyst improved with the MOF, its stability was restricted by the strength of the bond between cobalt and the pyridine ligand during catalytic reactions.
Article Abstract
A cobaloxime H evolution catalyst with a hydroxo-functionalized pyridine ligand, Co(dmgH)(4-HEP)Cl [dmgH = dimethylglyoxime, 4-HEP = 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine] was immobilized on a chromium terephthalate metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), to construct a MOF-catalyst hybrid which displays good photocatalytic H evolution activity. The longevity of the cobaloxime catalyst is increased by MOF incorporation, but limited by the stability of the cobalt-pyridine bond under turnover conditions.

Herein we present photoinduced cobaloxime-catalyzed selective remote desaturation of aliphatic alcohols. This transformation, which proceeds efficiently at room temperature, facilitates the synthesis of valuable cyclic and acyclic allylic and homoallylic alcohols from readily available saturated aliphatic alcohols. Remarkably, this method obviates the need for external oxidants, noble metal catalysts, and phosphine ligands.

The semi-hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene-rich gas streams is a high-priority industrial chemical reaction for producing polymer-grade ethylene. Traditional thermocatalytic routes for acetylene reduction to ethylene, despite progress, still require high temperatures and high H consumption, possess relatively low selectivity, and use a noble metal catalyst. Light-powered strategies are starting to emerge, given that they have the potential to use directly the abundant and sustainable solar irradiation, but are ineffective.

Three new molecular cobaloxime complexes with the general formula [ClCo(dpgH)L] (1-3), where L1 = -(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide, L2 = 4-bromo--(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide, L3 = 4-piperidin--(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide, have been synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, multinuclear NMR, FT-IR and PXRD spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of all complexes have also been reported. The electrocatalytic activity of complexes is investigated under two catalysis conditions: (i) homogeneous conditions in acetonitrile using acetic acid (AcOH) as a proton source and (ii) heterogeneous conditions upon immobilization onto the surface of activated carbon cloth (CC).

The low immunogenicity of tumors, along with the abnormal structural and biochemical barriers of tumor-associated vasculature, impedes the infiltration and function of effector T cells at the tumor site, severely inhibiting the efficacy of antitumor immunotherapy. In this study, a cobaloxime catalyst and STING agonist (MSA-2)-coloaded Wurster-type covalent organic framework (Co-TB COF-M) with internal electron transfer-enhanced catalytic capacity was developed as a COF-based immune activator. The covalently anchored cobaloxime adjusts the energy band structure of TB COF and provides it with good substrate adsorption sites, enabling it to act as an electron transmission bridge between the COF and substrate in proton reduction catalytic reactions.

A combination of inter- and intramolecular C kinetic isotope effects and density functional theory analysis is used to evaluate the key mechanistic events of sequentially operating catalytic cycles in the dual photoredox-cobalt-catalyzed elimination of alkyl bromides. The results point to a mechanism proceeding via irreversible halogen-atom transfer (XAT) from the alkyl halide, resulting in an alkyl radical, which undergoes hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to a Co(II) intermediate to deliver the product olefin. Alternative pathways involving nucleophilic substitution by a Co(I) species and by -hydride elimination are discounted based on the poor agreement of experimental and predicted C KIEs.
