ABSTRACT
Interconversion between CO2 + H2 and FA/formate is the most promising strategy for the fixation of carbon dioxide and reversible hydrogen storage; however, FA dehydrogenation and CO2 hydrogenation are usually studied separately using different catalysts for each reaction. This report describes of the catalysis of [Cp*Ir(Nâ§N)(X)]n+ (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; X = Cl, n = 0; X = H2O, n = 1) bearing a proton-responsive Nâ§N pyridylpyrrole ligand for both reactions. Complex 2-H2O catalyzes FA dehydrogenation at 90 °C with a TOFmax of 45â¯900 h-1. Its catalysis is more active in aqueous solution than in neat solution under base-free conditions. These complexes also catalyze CO2 hydrogenation in the presence of base to formate under atmospheric pressure (CO2/H2 = 0.05 MPa/0.05 MPa) at 25 °C with a TOF value of 4.5 h-1 in aqueous solution and with a TOF value of 29 h-1 in a methanol/H2O mixture solvent. The possible mechanism is proposed by intermediate characterization and KIE experiments. The extraordinary activity of these complexes are mainly attributed to the metal-ligand cooperative effect of the the pyrrole group to accept a proton in the dehydrogenation of formic acid and assist cooperative heterolytic H-H bond cleavage in CO2 hydrogenation.
