Abstract

Exclusive evolution of hydrogen without carbon monoxide was observed for the liquid-phase dehydrogenation of 2-propanol with trans-[RhCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂] under MLCT irradiation, suggesting the catalytic role of the photogenerated [RhCl(PPh₃)₂] species before its rapid replenishment with CO ligand. A quantum efficiency exceeding unity (1.6) was obtained at 364 nm and 108 °C in refluxing solution mixed with diglyme. Homogeneous photocatalysis in the visible region was discussed from the standpoint of energy storing.

Photocatalytic dehydrogenation of methanol using [IrH(SnCl<inf>3</inf>)<inf>5</inf>]<sup>3-</sup> complex
1994, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
High photocatalytic activity for methanol dehydrogenation has been revealed with (NEt₄)₃[IrH(SnCl₃)₅], yielding dihydrogen and dimethoxymethane in a stoichiometric ratio. The important role of [IrH(SnCl₃)₅]³⁻ species in photocatalysis for alcohol dehydrogenation with tin(II)-coordinated iridium(III) complexes was confirmed; the reaction rates were enhanced by adding SnCl₂, LiCl and HCl to this complex in appropriate amounts.

Alkene and dihydrogen formation by catalytic dehydrogenation of alkane with RhCl(pr<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf> photogenerated from rhcl(co)(pr<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf>
1989, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
Alkene and dihydrogen formation by photocatalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes using RhCl(CO)(PR₃)₂ proceeded with high turnover frequencies, amounting to 1404 h⁻¹ for nonane at 132 °C (PR₃ = PMe₃). The activity order of PPh₃ < PEtPh₂ < PEt₂Ph < PEt₃ < PMe₃ was obtained with respect to the phosphine ligand. Alkane dehydrogenation was retarded by the presence of alkene products, isomerization of which occurred simultaneously. Since dihydrogen was evolved with a first-order rate dependence on photointensities in the 365 nm region, RhCl(PR₃)₂ photogenerated by MLCT excitation was ascribed as the active species in the catalytic cycle of alkane dehydrogenation, which required no further photoassistance. The present one-photon dehydrogenation processes take place with light that is not much higher in energy than some of the C-H bonds that are broken.
Photocatalytic dehydrogenation of 2-propanol with carbonyl(halogeno)phosphine-rhodium complexes
1989, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
Photocatalytic dehydrogenation of 2-propanol, yielding acetone and dihydrogen, proceeded at high turnover frequencies with carbonyl(halogeno) phosphine-rhodium complexes RhX(CO)(PR₃)₂ (X = halogen and PR₃ = t-phosphine) under excitation conditions for the metal-to-ligand charge transfer. The three-coordinate species RhX(PR₃)₂ generated by photodissociation of the CO ligand was responsible for the catalytic cycle, irrespective of the kinds of ligands. The importance of both electronic and steric factors was demonstrated for the phosphine ligand.
Photoenhanced catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol with tin(II)-coordinated iridium complexes
1989, Journal of Molecular Catalysis
High photocatalytic activity of tin(II)-coordinated iridium(III) complexes has been found for methanoi dehydrogenation, yielding dimethoxy methane and dihydrogen in a stoichiometric ratio. The formation of [IrH(SnCl₃)₅]³⁻ species in methanol under photoirradiation was ascertained with UV-VIS and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses, the amount of which was proportional to the reaction rate, suggesting its participation in the photocatalysis.
