摘要: (CpMoμ-S)2S2CH2, 2, and related derivatives serve as electrocatalysts for the reduction of protons with current efficiencies near 100%. The kinetics electrochemical process has been studied, effects varying proton source, solvent, cyclopentadienyl substituents, sulfur substituents on catalyst have examined. excess p-cyanoanilinium tetrafluoroborate under a hydrogen atmosphere in 0.3 M Et4NBF4/acetonitrile buffered at pH 7.6 is catalyzed by 2 −0.64 V versus ferrocene, an overpotential 120 mV. Protonation sulfido ligand initial step catalytic process, rate-determining high acid concentrations appears to be elimination dihydrogen. may occur either from adjacent hydrosulfido sites or hydrosulfido−molybdenum hydride intermediate.
