Selective Hydrogenation of Azobenzene to Hydrazobenzene via Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from a Polyoxotungstate Cluster.
JACS Au. 2024 April 23
In this report, we describe proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity at the surface of the Keggin-type polyoxotungstate cluster [ n Bu4 N]3 [PWVI 12 O40 ] ( PW 12 ) in acetonitrile. Bond dissociation free energies (BDFEs) of the O-H groups generated upon reduction of PW 12 in the presence of acid are determined through the construction of a potential-p K a diagram. The surface O-H bonds are found to be weak (BDFE(O-H)avg < 48 kcal mol-1 ), comparable to the BDFE of H2 . This is consistent with the observed formation of H2 upon addition of a suitably strong organic acid, H2 NPh2 + (p K a MeCN = 5.98), to the reduced form of the cluster. The one-electron reduced form of PW 12 is isolated and used in conjunction with acid to realize the stoichiometric semihydrogenation of azobenzene via PCET from the surface of the reduced cluster.
