Single-site supported organometallic catalysts bring together the favorable aspects of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis while offering opportunities to investigate the impact of metal–support interactions on reactivity. We report a (dmPhebox)Ir(III) (dmPhebox = 2,6-bis(4,4-dimethyloxazolinyl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl) complex chemisorbed on sulfated zirconia, the molecular precursor for which was previously applied to hydrocarbon functionalization. Spectroscopic methods such as diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformation spectroscopy (DRIFTS), dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) were used to characterize the supported species. Tetrabutylammonium acetate was found to remove the organometallic species from the surface, enabling solution-phase analytical techniques in conjunction with traditional surface methods. Cationic character was imparted to the iridium center by its grafting onto sulfated zirconia, imbuing high levels of activity in electrophilic C–H bond functionalization reactions such as the stoichiometric dehydrogenation of alkanes, with density functional theory (DFT) calculations showing a lower barrier for β-H elimination. Catalytic hydrogenation of olefins was also facilitated by the sulfated zirconia-supported (dmPhebox)Ir(III) complex, while the homologous complex on silica was inactive under comparable conditions.

Cobalt Metallopeptide Electrocatalyst for the Selective Reduction of Nitrite to Ammonium
Guo, Yixing; Stroka, Jesse R.; Kandemir, Banu; Dickerson, Claire E.; Bren, Kara L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-12-12)
A cobalt-tripeptide complex (CoGGH) is developed as an electrocatalyst for the selective six-electron, eight-proton reduction of nitrite to ammonium in aqueous buffer near neutral pH. The onset potential for nitrite reduction occurs at -0.65 V vs Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl). Controlled potential electrolysis at -0.90 V generates ammonium with a faradaic efficiency of 90 +/- 3% and a turnover number of 3550 +/- 420 over 5.5 h. CoGGH also catalyzes the reduction of the proposed intermediates nitric oxide and hydroxylam...
GUEST HOST INTERACTIONS IN SODIUM ZEOLITE-Y - STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC NA-23 DOUBLE-ROTATION NMR-STUDY OF H2O, PME3, MO(CO)6, AND MO(CO)4(PME3)2 ADSORPTION IN NA56Y
JELINEK, R; Özkar, Saim; PASTORE, HO; MALEK, A; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01)
Na-23 double-rotation NMR (DOR) provides site-specific structural and dynamical information on guest-host interactions within sodium zeolite Y pores. Quantitative adsorption of H2O, PMe3, and Mo(CO)6 guests affects both the positions and line shapes of the N-23 resonances from specific extraframework Na+ sites. The evolution of the Na-23 DOR spectra with the progressive introduction of guest molecules allows one to probe direct ''solvation'' effects involving the Na+ cations in the larger supercages, as wel...
INTRAZEOLITE METAL-CARBONYL TOPOTAXY - A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF INTRAZEOLITE GROUP-VI METAL HEXACARBONYLS AND SUBCARBONYLS
Özkar, Saim; MOLLER, K; BEIN, T (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1990-12-01)
This paper focuses attention on the intrazeolite anchoring, thermal decarbonylation, ligand exchange, and addition chemistry of M(CO)6-M'56Y, where M = Cr, Mo, W; M' = H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. The key points to emerge from this study include the following. (i) M(CO)6-M'56Y samples have the hexacarbonylmetal(O) molecule associated with two alpha-cage extraframework cations (or Bronsted protons), via the oxygen end of two trans bonded carbonyls with a saturation loading of 2M(CO)6/alpha-cage. (ii) M(CO)6-M'56...
Iridium(0) nanocluster, acid-assisted catalysis of neat acetone hydrogenation at room temperature: Exceptional activity, catalyst lifetime, and selectivity at complete conversion
Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2005-04-06)
Acetone hydrogenation catalysis is important in applications such as heat pumps and fuel cells or in fulfilling the sizable demand for the product of selective acetone hydrogenation, 2-propanol. Reported herein is the discovery of a superior acetone hydrogenation catalyst- superior in terms of activity at low temperature, selectivity at complete conversion, and total catalyst lifetime. The new catalyst system consists of lr(0)(n) nanoclusters plus HCI easily and reproducibly formed from commercially availab...
INTRAZEOLITE CARBONYL(ETA-5-CYCLOPENTADIENYL)DIHYDRIDOIRIDIUM(III) (CPIR(CO)H2-M56Y, WHERE M = H, LI, NA, K, RB, AND CS)
CROWFOOT, L; OZIN, GA; Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1991-03-01)
Vapor-phase impregnation and thermal equilibration of CpIr(CO)H2 in dehydrated M56Y (where M = H, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) yields samples in which the guest displays two main anchoring modes. In Li56Y and Na56Y, a CpIrH2(CO)...M+ interaction is favored (type I), whereas in K56Y, Rb56Y, and Cs56Y the preferred-binding geometry involves CpIr(CO)H2...M+ (type II). The topology, spacial requirements, and ionic potential of the site II M+ cations appear to be mutually responsible for "lock-and-key" anchoring ef...
