Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal complexes, and particularly relates to a mononuclear rhenium complex with bispyridineoxanthracene as a ligand, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Since the Industrial Revolution, with the massive use of fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions have continuously increased, and the current concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere exceeds 415 ppm (415 mg / L, 0.0415%). The accumulation of large amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere will cause increasingly serious environmental pollution, global warming, and energy crises. Therefore, CO2 emission reduction and resource utilization have attracted widespread global attention. In nature, CO2 is also an important carbon resource; for example, green plants, algae, and certain bacteria can absorb energy from sunlight and then use it to drive water oxidation and CO2 reduction, forming carbohydrates and oxygen, thus converting solar energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates. Therefore, simulating natural photosynthesis and constructing artificial photosynthesis systems to convert CO2 into high-value-added chemicals or liquid fuels is one of the most ideal ways to solve problems such as environmental pollution, global warming, and energy crises.
[0003] In the 1980s, Lehn et al. synthesized the tricarbonyl bipyridine-rhenium complex Re(bpy)(CO)3X (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; X = Cl, Br) by reacting bipyridine with tricarbonyl rhenium. The synthesized rhenium complex can efficiently and selectively photocatalytically reduce CO2 to CO (Jeannot Hawecker, Jean-Marie Lehn and Raymond Ziessel, Efficient photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO by visible light irradiation of systems containing Re(bipy)(CO)3X or Ru(bipy)3). 2+ –Co 2+Combinations as homogeneous catalysts[J]. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1983, 536-538.). Since then, the photo / electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 by the tricarbonyl diamine rhenium complex Re(N^N)(CO)3X (N^N = diamine ligand) has attracted great attention from researchers (GoSahara and Osamu Ishitani, Efficient Photocatalysts for CO2 Reduction[J]. Inorg. Chem. 2015, 54, 5096-5104). However, the current application of tricarbonyl diamine rhenium complex in CO2 photocatalysis still faces problems such as complex catalyst preparation methods and low catalytic efficiency.
