Hexanuclear ring cobalt complex for photochemical CO_(2) to CO conversion

Photosynthesis in nature has been deemed as the most significant biochemical reaction,which maintains a relatively stable content of O_(2) and CO_(2) in the atmosphere.Herein,for a deeper comprehension of natural photosynthesis,an artificial photosynthesis model reaction of photochemical CO_(2) to CO conversion(CO_(2)+2 H^(+)+2e^(-)→CO+H_(2)O)catalyzed by a homogeneous hexanuclear ring cobalt complex{K_(2)[CoO_(3)PCH_(2)N(CH_(2)CO_(2))_(2)]}_(6)(Co6 complex)is developed.Using the[Ru(bpy)_(3)]^(2+)as a photosensitizer and TEOA as a sacrificial electron donor,an optimal turnover frequency of 503.3 h^(‒1) and an apparent quantum efficiency of 0.81%are obtained.The good photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction performance is attributed to the efficient electron transfer between Co6 complex and[Ru(bpy)_(3)]^(2+),which boosts the photogenerated carriers separation of the photosensitizer.It is confirmed by the j‐V curves,light‐assisted UV‐vis curves,steady‐state photoluminescence spectra and real‐time laser flash photolysis experiments.In addition,the proposed catalytic mechanism for CO_(2) reduction reaction catalyzed by the Co6 complex is explored by the potassium thiocyanate poison experiment,Pourbaix diagram and density functional theory calculations.

Synthesis of a New Cobalt(Ⅱ)Complex and its Interaction with DNA

A new complex of bis(N-benzyl benzotriazole-N3) dichloro Co(II) (Co(II)L2Cl2) was synthesized and its crystal was characterized. The interaction of this new complex with fs-DNA was studied by electrochemical and UV spectrophotometric method. In 0.01 mol/L pH 4.2 Tris-HCl buffer solution Co(II)L2Cl2 has two reductive peaks with peak potentials at 0.38 V and 0.27 V, respectively, and an oxidative peak at 1.05 V. After the addition of DNA, the peak currents decrease and the peak potential at 0.27 V shifts negatively. The UV spectrophotometric experiment indicates that the maximum absorbance of Co(II)L2Cl2 at 204 nm decreases and exhibits bathochromic shift after the addition of DNA. All the results reveal that Co(II)L2Cl2 binds with DNA by intercalation as well as electrostatic interaction.

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF N,N'-BIS(3-ALLYL SALICYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIAMINE COBALT(Ⅱ) SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX ANCHORED ON A NEW POLYMER SUPPORT

A new chelating polymer support has been prepared by suspension copolymerization of synthesized N,N'-bis(3- allyl salicylidene)ethylenediamine monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) with styrene (St) and divinylbenzene (DVB) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The content and complexation ability of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) for cobalt ions in prepared crosslinked polymer beads have shown dependence on the amount of DVB used in reaction mixture. The amount of monomer Schiff base (N,N '-BSEDA) in crosslinked beads showed a substantial decreasing trend at high concentration of DVB in the reaction mixture (> 1.5 mol dm-3), hence the efficiency of complexation (EC%) and cobalt ion loading (EL%) of polymer beads showed a decreasing trend. The structure of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) and its cobalt complex on polymer support was elucidated by IR, UV and magnetic measurements. The catalytic activity of polymer bound cobalt Schiff base complex was evaluated by analyzing kinetic data of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of either supported cobalt complex or free cobalt complex. The activation energy for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by polymer supported cobalt complex was found to be low (33.37 kJ mol-1) in comparison with unsupported cobalt complex (56.35 kJ mol-1). On the basis of experimental observations, reaction steps are proposed and a suitable rate expression derived.
