According to the isotope pattern and the corresponding m/z ratio, the dominant peak is assigned to Ti₅(C₃H₈O)₁₃. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, are applied to illustrate the interaction of isopropanol with Ti. Among the Ti_n(2−7) clusters, Ti₅ has the highest electrophilicity and chemical potential, justifying the reasonable stability of Ti₅ in forming the experimentally observed Ti₅-C₃H₈O complex. Natural bond orbital analysis shows that the various interactions emanating from σ→ σ* and LP→LP orbitals within the complex contribute to the high stability of the Ti cluster. Moreso, that the Ti—O bond is more of covalent than electrostatic since the Laplacian of electron density for the bond critical point is negative. Finally, the Ti clusters are found to catalyze the coupling of isopropanol to diisopropylether as evidenced from the calculated reaction pathways and high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis. The energy profiles in the reaction coordinates show that the triplet state pathway is the most thermodynamically preferred path. The energy barrier for the Ti₅ pathway are also lower compared to Ti₃ and Ti₇ pathways, showing that the reaction is favorable for Ti₅.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":803,"journal":{"name":"Transition Metal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4126236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been reports on variety of multicomponent reactions employing the heterogeneous catalysts Bi₂O₃, BiVO₄, and as well Bi₂WO₆ nanoparticle. Among other materials, Bi₂WO₆ nanoparticles are perceived for their high reactivity at ambient temperature in an aquatic medium. The main objective of this study is to emphasize the mechanistic considerations, scope, benefits, and limits of recent catalytic improvements in the process of oxidation and other reactions. Consequently, the use of Bi₂WO₆ catalyst offers many advantages, including high yields, an ecologically friendly process, quick reaction times, and a straightforward work-up technique. It has been created to use a Bi₂WO₆ catalyst in an aqueous medium in a versatile, simple, one-pot, multi-component technique. This process offers easy-to-find, inexpensive reagents, quick reaction times, great yields, and high atom economy.

The structural characterization of the as-synthesized material by using X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the formation of crystalline WO₃ phase. The morphology and microstructural study along with elemental composition of the material as obtained by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, respectively, reveals the generation of one-dimensional WO₃ nanorods. The nanorods show substantial absorbance in the ultraviolet (UV) region with the bandgap and refractive index of 2.7 eV and 2.48, respectively. Here, the low value of bandgap without adding any catalyst or co-catalyst is attributed to the microwave treatment. The electrochemical properties of WO₃ are studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The nanorods show high current density at different potentials and diffusion-controlled behavior as exhibited by Warburg impedance. The anodic as well as cathodic peak current values are seen to be increased after the deposition of the thin film of FTO substrate indicating the better diffusion of ions in the electrolyte. The capacitive and diffusive contribution of the thin film is investigated at various scan rates using Dunn’s model which shows that the diffusive contribution of the thin film is 120 times more than the capacitive contribution confirming the diffusive behavior of the thin film. The exchange current density of the deposited film is calculated which is found to have higher value than that of bare FTO. <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> characteristics of WO₃ are compared with that of bare FTO which reveals the smaller resistance offered by WO₃ film. The equivalent circuit as obtained from Nyquist plot is used to estimate the resistance of electrolyte, film and charge transfer resistance along with the double-layer capacitance and Warburg impedance. Further, bode plot is analyzed to study the phase shift and thus the diffusive behavior of the material.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":803,"journal":{"name":"Transition Metal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5019645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
