In such a process, photocatalysis is usually in charge of C–H bond activation to generate an sp3-hybridized carbon-centred radical, whereas transition metal catalysis is in charge of the subsequent transformation of this radical. Here we review advances in sp3 C–H functionalizations under matallaphotoredox catalysis via photocatalytic single-electron transfer mechanisms as opposed to hydrogen atom transfer processes. The delineation of these advancements is initially organized according to distinct sp3 C–H bonds and subsequently categorized by various transition metal catalytic systems. We encompass a thorough exploration of diverse metallaphotoredox catalysis strategies, along with their synthetic applications and mechanisms. Similarities and differences between these strategies are described to inspire new reaction designs, thus promoting further development of this field. The merger of photocatalysis and transition metal catalysis has broadened the scope of chemical reactivity in organic synthesis. This Review provides an overview of the use of metallaphotoredox catalysis for sp3 C–H functionalizations that occur via single-electron, rather than hydrogen atom transfer.","PeriodicalId":18845,"journal":{"name":"Nature Catalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":42.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142313979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major gaps in our understanding include how cations affect key physicochemical variables at electrochemical interfaces and the elementary steps of the CO(2)RR. In this work, we have quantitatively determined the impact of cations on the enthalpy and entropy of CO adsorption on Cu under electrochemical conditions. CO adsorption becomes increasingly unfavourable in the sequence Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Cs+ with a substantial enthalpy–entropy compensation effect. Importantly, cations affect the stability of the initial and transition states of the CORR in opposite directions. Our results provide insights into the effect of cations on individual elementary steps in the CORR and demonstrate that the ability to stabilize the transition state in the conversion of adsorbed CO is a decisive factor. The mechanism of electrocatalytic CO/CO2 reduction on Cu surfaces is complex and its various mechanisms remain under debate, including the important role of cations in the electrolyte. Here the authors quantitatively determine the impact of alkali cations on the thermodynamics of CO adsorption under electrochemical conditions and the activation parameters of the rate-determining step.","PeriodicalId":18845,"journal":{"name":"Nature Catalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":42.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142276783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, isolation of an active two-component, metallocentre-containing nitrogenase from a non-diazotrophic host has yet to be accomplished. Here we report the heterologous synthesis of an active molybdenum-nitrogenase by combining genes from Azotobacter vinelandii and Methanosarcina acetivorans in Escherichia coli. Metal, activity and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses demonstrate the integrity of the metallocentres in the purified nitrogenase enzyme; whereas growth, nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments illustrate diazotrophic growth and 15N enrichment by the E. coli expression strain, and accumulation of extracellular ammonia upon deletion of the ammonia transporter that permits incorporation of thus-generated nitrogen into the cellular mass of a non-diazotrophic E. coli strain. As such, this study provides a crucial prototype system that could be optimized/modified to enable future transgenic expression and biotechnological adaptations of nitrogenase. Heterologous expression of an active, metallocentre-containing nitrogenase in a non-diazotrophic host is challenging.

The predominance of the Haber–Bosch process, however, as the current industrial process for producing ammonia subdues the sustainability of establishing an energy route predicated on ammonia. Here we capitalize on the inherent atomic structure of liquid metal alloys and the ability to modulate the electronic and geometric structures of liquid metal catalysts to drive the thermocatalytic synthesis of ammonia. By exploiting the mobility of the metal atoms in the liquid metal configuration and purposefully designing disordered metal catalysts, we provide insights into designing future transition metal-based catalysts that produce ammonia from gaseous nitrogen and hydrogen under mild operating conditions. The use of a molten Cu–Ga catalyst offers a dynamic metal complex with synergistic advantages that lift the activity of its constituent elements, exceeding the activity of a control Ru-based catalyst. The traditional Haber–Bosch process as well as recent alternative approaches based on photo- or electrocatalysis all rely on solid catalysts to convert nitrogen into ammonia.

To date molecular electrocatalysts have efficiently produced single-carbon products from CO2 but have struggled to achieve a carbon–carbon coupling step. Conversely, copper catalysts can enable carbon–carbon coupling, but lead to broad C2+ product spectra. Here we subvert the traditional redox-mediated reaction mechanisms of organometallic compounds through a heterogeneous nickel-supported iron tetraphenylporphyrin electrocatalyst, facilitating electrochemical carbon–carbon coupling to produce ethanol. This represents a marked behavioural shift compared with carbon-supported metalloporphyrins. Extending the approach to a three-dimensional porous nickel support with adsorbed iron tetraphenylporphyrin, we attain ethanol Faradaic efficiencies of 68% ± 3.2% at −0.3 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode (pH 7.7) with partial ethanol current densities of −21 mA cm−2. Separately we demonstrate maintained ethanol production over 60 h of operation. Further consideration of the wide parameter space of molecular catalyst and metal electrodes shows promise for additional chemistries and achievable metrics. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 on organometallic catalysts is commonly limited to two-electron products. Now, an iron tetraphenylporphyrin catalyst immobilized onto a nickel electrode is shown to achieve a Faradaic efficiency for ethanol of 68% due to the strong electronic coupling between the catalyst and the support.","PeriodicalId":18845,"journal":{"name":"Nature Catalysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":42.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
