Neutron scattering studies of materials for hydrogen storage
2023, Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry III, Third Edition
Hydrogen storage presents a significant barrier to the widespread adaptation of hydrogen as an energy source in mobile and stationary applications. The development of new candidate hydrogen storage materials is therefore an outstanding goal in the field of inorganic chemistry. Neutron scattering techniques—including diffraction, inelastic, and quasielastic scattering—are integral in investigating these materials. Here, we review some of the key studies of candidate hydrogen storage materials which have employed neutron scattering techniques. We begin with a brief discussion of hydrogen’s current position in the global energy landscape. Next, we provide a brief description of the theory and practical aspects of the neutron scattering techniques germane to the study of hydrogen storage. Then we enumerate the neutron scattering studies of candidate hydrogen storage materials, including metal hydrides, chemical hydrides, and porous compounds. We focus on the studies which helped develop our understanding of hydrogen storage by revealing the underlying fundamental physics and chemistry of hydrogen sorption in these systems. Finally, we provide an outlook to the future of hydrogen storage research.
C – C coupling of alkynes to the CH<inf>2</inf> group in a 1-phosphonioethenyl ligand in a zwitterionic dirhenium carbonyl complex
2022, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry
Reactions of the zwitterionic dirhenium complex Re₂(CO)₈[μ-η²-1-C(CH₂)(PMePh₂)], 3 with the terminal alkynes, HCC(OEt) and HCCPh, have yielded two new isomeric ethoxy-substituted dirhenium complexes, Re₂(CO)₇[µ-η³-C(H)C(OCH₂CH₃)CH₂C(PMePh₂)], 5 and Re₂(CO)₇[µ-η³-C(OCH₂CH₃)C(H)CH₂C(PMePh₂)], 6 and one phenyl-substituted dirhenium complex Re₂(CO)₇[µ-η³-C(H)CPhCH₂C(PMePh₂)], 7, respectively, with each containing a bridging, substituted 1-phosphonio-3,4-butenyl ligand formed by loss of CO and the addition and coupling of one alkyne to the CH₂ group of the 1-phosphonioethenyl ligand in 3. The bridging 1-phosphonio-3,4-butenyl ligand in compound 6 exhibits a dynamical “flip-flop” exchange for the phosphonio-3,4-butenyl ligand between the two rhenium atoms that leads to an averaging of the inequivalent protons on its methylene group that is rapid on the NMR timescale. When heated to 70^oC, compound 5 was converted to two new compounds: Re₂(CO)₆(µ-H)[µ-η⁴-C(H)C(OCH₂CH₃)CHC(PMePh₂)], 8, by loss of a CO ligand and a CH activation at the CH₂ group in its C(H)C(OCH₂CH₃)CH₂C(⁺PMePh₂) ligand and an isomer Re₂(CO)₆(PMePh₂)[µ-η⁴-C(H)C(OCH₂CH₃)CHCH], 9. Compound 9 was also obtained from 8 by heating to 80 °C for 5 days by shifting the PMePh₂ group from its phosphonium carbon atom in 8 to one of the rhenium atoms to become a PMePh₂ ligand in 9 and then shifting the hydrido ligand back to the same carbon atom to form a bridging η⁴-2-ethoxybutadiendiyl, [C(H)C(OCH₂CH₃)CHCH], ligand. All new products were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
Ruthenium and Osmium Carbonyl Cluster Complexes
2022, Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry IV: Volume 1-15
This chapter highlights the emerging trends in the design, synthesis and properties of ruthenium and osmium carbonyl cluster complexes, including bi- and tri-metallic cluster frameworks. The mixed-metal cluster systems include those of transition metals with palladium and platinum as well as main group metals germanium and tin. The various clusters exhibit fascinating structures, bonding motifs, and applications in catalysis.
Synthesis, crystal structures, and DFT calculations of tungsten (IV) and tungsten (VI) phosphino polyhydrides
2020, Inorganica Chimica Acta
Citation Excerpt :
It is perhaps because of these applications that metal hydrides continue to garner interest [1f]. Hydrogen atoms have generally been difficult to locate using X-ray diffraction because of their low electron density, so neutron diffraction has been the method of choice when studying metal-hydrogen interactions [2]. But unfortunately, neutron diffraction generally requires large crystals (on the order of 1 mm3 in volume) which was difficult to obtain in our study.
We present here the synthesis, crystal structures, and DFT calculations of tungsten (IV) and tungsten (VI) phosphino polyhydrides. These polyhydrides have the potential of demonstrating intriguing non-classical η²-H₂ interactions. The subject compounds have been synthesized previously, however, the crystal structures (with the location of all hydrogen atoms) have yet to be reported. We have used high quality X-ray diffraction at low temperature to assist in locating, for the first time, the hydrides in these complexes. The polyhydrides each contain four phosphine ligands with the general formula PRPh₂ (where R = Me or Et) making very intriguing eight and nine-coordinate complexes. The eight-coordinate complexes [tungsten (IV)] resemble a slightly distorted dodecahedron while the nine-coordinate complex [tungsten (VI)] resembles a tricapped trigonal prism. Optimized DFT geometries showing the position of the hydrides for all three compounds that were crystallographically characterized have also been calculated. The combination of our results indicate that these compounds are best described as classical metal hydrides. The structures are also compared to similar structures reported in the literature.
The activation and transformations of vinyl acetate at a dirhenium carbonyl center
2019, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry
The reaction of Re₂(CO)₈(μ-C₆H₅)(μ-H), 1 with vinyl acetate in methylene chloride by heating at 40 °C yielded three new products: Re₃(CO)₁₃(μ-η²-C₂H₃), 3, (24% yield), Re₂(CO)₈(μ-η²-O₂CCH₃)(μ-H), 4, (9% yield) and Re₂(CO)₈(μ-η²-CHCHO₂CCH₃)(μ-H), 5, (13% yield). Compound 3 was also obtained in a similar yield from the reaction of Re₂(CO)₈(μ-H)[μ-η²-C(H) = C(H)Buⁿ], 2 with vinyl acetate, but compounds 4 and 5 were not obtained. All of the products were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 3 consists of an open trirhenium cluster containing two rhenium – rhenium bonds. One of the rhenium – rhenium bonds contains a μ-η²-(σ+π)-coordinated C₂H₃ (vinyl) ligand. Compound 4 contains two rhenium atoms with a bridging η²-acetate ligand and a bridging hydrido ligand. Compound 5 contains two mutually bonded Re–Re atoms with a bridging (σ+π)-coordinated acetate-substituted vinyl group and a bridging hydrido ligand by the cleavage of one of the CH bonds on the β–carbon atom of the vinyl group of the vinyl acetate. The reaction of compound 3 with I₂ resulted in cleavage of the Re(CO)₅ group to yield the known complex Re(CO)₅I and the new dirhenium complex Re₂(CO)₈I(μ-η²-C₂H₃), 6 containing a μ-η²-(σ+π)-coordinated vinyl group.
Heterometallic nitrido cluster compounds: Synthesis and characterizations of the first nitrido-containing ruthenium-gold and ruthenium-copper carbonyl cluster complexes
2019, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry
The first high nuclearity ruthenium-gold-nitrido carbonyl and ruthenium-copper-nitrido carbonyl cluster compounds have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The reaction of [PPN][Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₄], 1, with [Au(PPh₃)]NO₃ yielded three new hetero-bimetallic ruthenium-gold-nitrido cluster complexes: monogold - tetraruthenium cluster complex Ru₄(μ₄-N)(CO)₁₂[μ-Au(PPh₃)], 2, goldpentaruthenium cluster complex Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₄[μ-Au(PPh₃)], 3 and trigoldpentaruthenium cluster complex Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₃[(μ-AuPPh₃){μ₃-Au(PPh₃)}₂], 4. Compound 4 was obtained in a much better yield from the reaction of 1 with [{(PPh₃)Au}₃O][BF₄]. Compounds 3 and 4 consist of a square pyramidal cluster of five ruthenium atoms with an interstitial nitrido ligand in the base of the square pyramid. Compound 4 exhibits a dynamical exchange activity that leads to an averaging of all its three AuPPh₃ groups on the NMR time scale. Reaction of 1 with [Cu(PPh₃)Br]₄ yielded three new hetero-bimetallic ruthenium-copper-nitrido cluster complexes: monocopper - tetraruthenium cluster complex [Ru₄(μ₄-N)(CO)₁₂(μ-CuPPh₃)], 5, monocopperpentaruthenium cluster complex [Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₃(PPh₃)(μ₃-CuPPh₃)], 6, and the tricopperpentaruthenium cluster complex [Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₃(μ-CuPPh₃){μ₃-Cu(PPh₃)}₂}], 7. The reaction of 1 with [Cu(NCMe)₄]BF₄ yielded the new complex [Ru₅(μ₅-N)(CO)₁₄[μ₃-Cu(NCMe)], 8. Compounds 6, 7 and 8 each consist of a square pyramidal cluster of five ruthenium atoms with an interstitial nitrido ligand in the base of the square pyramid. Like 4, compound 7 exhibits a dynamical exchange activity on the NMR time scale among its three CuPPh₃ groups. All seven compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and ³¹P NMR spectroscopies and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
