Zeolite-Encaged Isolated Platinum Ions Enable Heterolytic Dihydrogen Activation and Selective Hydrogenations
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY(2021)
Abstract
Understanding the unique behaviors of atomically dispersed catalysts and the origin thereof is a challenging topic. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to encapsulate Ptd(+) species within Y zeolite and reveal the nature of selective hydrogenation over a Pt@Y model catalyst. The unique configuration of Pt@Y, namely atomically dispersed Pt delta+ stabilized by the surrounding oxygen atoms of six-membered rings shared by sodalite cages and supercages, enables the exclusive heterolytic activation of dihydrogen over Ptd(+)center dot center dot center dot O-2(-) units, resembling the well-known classical Lewis pairs. The charged hydrogen species, i.e., H+ and H delta-, are active reagents for selective hydrogenations, and therefore, the Pt@Y catalyst exhibits remarkable performance in the selective hydrogenation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols and of nitroarenes to arylamines.
