11. Ken Sakai, Molecular Photocatalysis Towards Solar Water Splitting and CO2 Reduction, 2019 ESP-IUPB WORLD CONGRESS, 2019.08, Over the past decade, our group has focused on the studies of transition-metal-based molecular systems relevant to the development of artificial photosynthetic molecular devices. The targets of our research involve the studies on (i) water oxidation catalysis in order to uptake protons and electrons required for fuels generation, (ii) catalytic water or CO2 reduction into sustainable fuels (i.e., H2, CO, etc.), (iii) artificial light-harvesting systems towards the effective charge separation and/or migration, and (iv) molecular- and instrumental-level chemical engineering by making hybrid molecular and/or heterogeneous systems using multiple key components. Deeper insights into the mechanism of reaction of interest are always greatly appreciated for the sake of inspiring the rational design strategies towards the more desirable/efficient systems in promoting all relevant processes. In this context, substantial efforts have been devoted to more carefully study the reaction kinetics and equilibria in solution that are relevant to each topic. Various spectrophotometric, electrochemical, and photochemical techniques have been adopted to better understand the mechanistic aspects relevant to all of our systems. Some of the reaction steps of interest are not observable by any experimental techniques, and must be discussed on the basis of our DFT results, which have also greatly helped us understand the mechanism of reactions. Importantly, one of our findings is that, in any catalysis, the reactivity of metal(s) can be rationally tuned by use of redox active ligands that are more or less hybridized with metal(s) in their orbitals. Such issues are often involved in our discussion. One of our interests has concentrated on the molecular Pt-catalyzed hydrogen evolution reactions and their application to fabricate photosensitizer-catalyst hybrid molecular devices [1-3]. Our recent kinetic and electrochemical studies evidence the formation of a hydridodiplatinum(II,III) intermediate when H2 evolution is catalyzed by a simple mononuclear Pt(bpy)Cl2 derivative, which is also rationalized by our DFT results. Our studies have also provided new aspects on photo-induced multi-charge separation [4], near-infrared-driven water reduction [5], water oxidation catalysis using various transition metal complexes [6,7], non-precious metal based H2 evolution catalysis [8], and photoelectrochemical cells for the overall water splitting [9].

Our studies involve new materials synthesis, structure analysis, reaction kinetics, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, DFT calculations, and so on.

, 3rd Japan - UK Joint Symposium on Coordination Chemistry, 2018.04, [URL], The chemistry of water oxidation and reduction has been extensively studied from many
viewpoints due to their significant relevance to solve the problems arising from the global
warming and the shortage of fossil fuels. For both processes, proton-coupled electron
transfer (PCET) processes have been considered to play the central role in drastically
lowering the activation barriers for the relevant elementally steps. In the past decades, our
group has paid specific interest in clarifying the mechanisms of transition-metal-based
molecular catalysis for both processes [1-6]. In this presentation, some PCET processes that
govern the rate of catalytic water reduction to evolve dihydrogen from water are discussed.
The figure shown below illustrates that transition-metal-catalyzed water reduction can be
roughly considered to undergo through three different types of PCET-based ratedetermining
steps. The first metal-centered model is the case where the anti-bonding orbital
in the square planar complex like a Pt(II) system forms a hydridoplatinum(III) intermediate
[1,2,5]. This path will was also shown to undergo via formation of a diplatinum(II,III)
interemediate due to its favorable stabilization via the Pt-Pt bond formation. An exceptional
case is a Co NHC catalyst, for which metal-centered PCET occurs upon reduction of Co(II)
d
7
leading to protonation at a Co(I) d8
system [4], implying that the dz2 filled orbital
provides basicity strong enough to promote protonation at the metal center. Our recent
studies also demonstrated some unique hydride forming paths in which ligand-based
reductions coupled with protonation at the ligand geometries can lead to metal hydride
intermediate species required to catalyze hydrogen evolution from water [5,6].
