Clean production of renewable fuels is a great challenge of our scientific community. Iridium complexes have demonstrated a superior catalytic activity in the water oxidation (WO) reaction, which is a crucial step in water splitting process. Herein we have used a defective zirconium MOF with UiO-66 structure as support of a highly active Ir complex based on EDTA with formula [Ir(HEDTA)Cl]Na. The defects are induced by the partial substitution of tereftalic acid with smaller formiate groups. Anchoring of the complex occurs through a post-synthetic exchange of formiate anions, coordinated at the zirconium clusters of the MOF, with the free carboxylate group of the [Ir(HEDTA)Cl]-complex. The modified material was tested as heterogenous catalyst for the WO reaction by using Cerium Ammonium Nitrate as sacrificial agent. Although TOF and TON values are comparable to those of other iridium heterogenized catalysts, the MOF exhibits iridium leaching not limited at the first catalytic run, as usually observed, suggesting a lack of stability of the hybrid system under strong oxidative conditions.

Clean production of renewable fuels is a great challenge of our scientific community. Iridium complexes have demonstrated a superior catalytic activity in the water oxidation (WO) reaction, which is a crucial step in water splitting process. Herein, we have used a defective zirconium metal–organic framework (MOF) with UiO-66 structure as support of a highly active Ir complex based on EDTA with the formula [Ir(HEDTA)Cl]Na. The defects are induced by the partial substitution of terephthalic acid with smaller formate groups. Anchoring of the complex occurs through a post-synthetic exchange of formate anions, coordinated at the zirconium clusters of the MOF, with the free carboxylate group of the [Ir(HEDTA)Cl]− complex. The modified material was tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for the WO reaction by using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) as the sacrificial agent. Although turnover frequency (TOF) and turnover number (TON) values are comparable to those of other iridium heterogenized catalysts, the MOF exhibits iridium leaching not limited at the first catalytic run, as usually observed, suggesting a lack of stability of the hybrid system under strong oxidative conditions.

Stereochemically flexible 2,2(-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl (BIPHEP) ligands were modified with chiral α-substituted carboxylic acid auxiliaries in the 3- and 3′-position. The resulting central-to-axial chirality transfer to the stereochemically flexible chiral axis of the BIPHEP­ core was investigated as well as complexation of these diastereomeric ligands to iridium(I). Solid-state structures of both ligand diastereomers and a diastereomerically pure iridium(I) BIPHEP complex were obtained. Thermal equilibration of the resulting iridium(I) complexes was studied to investigate the stereodynamic properties of the BIPHEP ligands. The iridium(I) complexes without and after pre-catalysis warming in solution — which induces a shift of the diastereomeric ratio — were applied for asymmetric hydrogenation of a prochiral α-substituted acrylic acid, resulting in temperature-controlled bidirectional enantioselectivity of iridium catalysts for the first time. In both cases, enantioenriched (R)-naproxen as well as (S)-naproxen — after re-equilibration of the catalyst at elevated temperatures — was obtained by using the same catalyst.

Efficient pincer-ligated iridium catalysts are reported for the dehydrogenation of simple tertiary amines to give enamines, and for the dehydrogenation of β-functionalized amines to give the corresponding 1,2-difunctionalized olefins. Experimentally determined kinetic isotope effects in conjunction with DFT-based analysis support a dehydrogenation mechanism involving initial pre-equilibrium oxidative addition of the amine α C-H bond followed by rate-determining elimination of the β-C-H bond.<br>
