Abstract
Description
A ruthenium-ammonia complex, its preparation method and its application in photocatalytic ammonia oxidation Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a ruthenium-ammonia complex, its preparation method, and its application in photocatalytic ammonia oxidation. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia (NH3), as a high-hydrogen (H) carrier, is widely used in the energy field. Electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation (AOR) using organometallic small molecules started relatively late, until 2019 when Smith III discovered the complex [Ru]. II [trpy)(bpy(NMe2)2)NH3]PF6 can catalyze the oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen (N2). To date, complexes of Ru, Ni, Mn, Fe, and Cu have also been found to possess electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation properties, with NO3 being a more commercially viable product in addition to N2. - NO2 - Hydrazine (N2H4) was also synthesized. Due to its strong reducing properties, hydrazine is widely used in industrial production, while its extremely high energy density is applied in aerospace and defense, giving it immense commercial value. However, the synthesis of hydrazine still relies on the Raschig process, which has been used for over 100 years, resulting in low yields and significant environmental pollution from chlorine-containing byproducts. This limits large-scale production and keeps hydrazine prices high.
[0003] Compared to electricity, solar energy has garnered widespread attention as a simple and readily available clean energy source. While photocatalytic water oxidation is becoming increasingly mature, research on photocatalytic ammonia oxidation remains incomplete. To further reduce energy consumption and improve the controllability and sustainability of the reaction, extending the ammonia oxidation reaction from electrocatalytic systems to photocatalytic systems has significant research value. Photocatalytic ammonia oxidation can utilize solar energy as a driving force to achieve the selective conversion of ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. This not only holds promise for overcoming the limitations of electrode polarization and mass transfer in electrocatalysis but also allows for coupling with processes such as photocatalytic water splitting and photocatalytic nitrogen fixation to construct a more efficient and green "nitrogen-hydrogen" cycle system. Therefore, developing efficient and stable photocatalytic ammonia oxidation systems has become a cutting-edge direction in the fields of nitrogen chemistry and renewable energy conversion.

[0033] The following experiments were conducted using the ruthenium ammonia complexes (complexes 1-5) prepared in Examples 1-5 as catalyst samples.
[0034] Example 1: Photocatalytic ammonia oxidation experiment. 29.7 mg of photosensitizer-[Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 and 98.2 mg of electron acceptor-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-benzoquinone dimethane were weighed and dissolved in 40 mL of acetonitrile solution. Ammonia gas was continuously introduced into the closed reactor (3 h), and then the catalyst sample was added. The gas phase standard curves of H2, O2 and N2 in the standard gas are shown in Figures 20-22. Then, the reaction was carried out under 450 nm blue light irradiation for 2 h, and the light irradiation was stopped. After standing for 1 h, 100 μL of headspace gas was taken for gas chromatography detection, and the gas chromatography analysis results of H2, O2 and N2 were obtained (Figure 23).
[0035] As shown in Figure 23, after 2 hours of photocatalysis, the signal peak height of N2 in the system was significantly enhanced compared to that of O2. Quantitative calculations were performed using the N2 gas-phase standard curve equation (Figure 22) to obtain the N2 turnover number (TON) for different catalyst samples, and the results are shown in Table 7.
[0036] Table 7. Turnover rates of nitrogen and hydrazine for different catalyst samples
[0037] As shown in Table 7, due to electronic effects, complexes 2-5, with electron-donating -CH3 groups, exhibit higher nitrogen production from photocatalytic ammonia oxidation than complex 1. Simultaneously, due to steric hindrance, complex 2, which exposes more coordination space at the central ruthenium metal, has the highest nitrogen production compared to complexes 3-5 with other -CH3 modification positions. Complexes 5 and 6, with direct ammonia or hydrazine coordination, also show significantly higher nitrogen production than complex 1, with chlorine coordination, indicating that more hydrazine is converted to nitrogen, leading to a decrease in hydrazine turnover.
[0038] In Experiment 2, to detect nitrogen-containing substances in the reaction solution after catalysis, the contents of hydrazine, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite and hydroxylamine in the catalytic solution were quantitatively detected by ultraviolet-visible method.
