5. Koichi Yatsuzuka, Kosei Yamauchi, Ken Kawano, Hironobu Ozawa, Ken Sakai, Improving the overall performance of photochemical H2evolution catalyzed by the Co-NHC complex via the redox tuning of electron relays, Sustainable Energy and Fuels, 10.1039/d0se01597k, 5, 3, 740-749, 2021.02, © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021. The catalytic performance of a photochemical H2evolution system made up of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt), [Ru(bpy)3]2+(bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and a macrocyclicN-heterocyclic carbene cobalt (Co-NHC-1) catalyst has been examined at pH 5.0 (E(2H+/H2) = −0.54 Vvs.SCE) by using six electron relays (ERs) having different first reduction potentials (Ered) in the range −0.69
6. Keita Koshiba, Kosei Yamauchi, Ken Sakai, A Nickel Dithiolate Water Reduction Catalyst Providing Ligand-Based Proton-Coupled Electron-Transfer Pathways, Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 10.1002/anie.201700927, 56, 15, 4247-4251, 2017.03, A nickel pyrazinedithiolate ([Ni(dcpdt)2]2−; dcpdt=5,6-dicyanopyrazine-2,3-dithiolate), bearing a NiS4 core similar to the active center of [NiFe] hydrogenase, is shown to serve as an efficient molecular catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This catalyst shows effectively low overpotentials for HER (330–400 mV at pH 4–6). Moreover, the turnover number of catalysis reaches 20000 over the 24 h electrolysis with a high Faradaic efficiency, 92–100 %. The electrochemical and DFT studies reveal that diprotonated one-electron-reduced species forms at pH < 6.4 via ligand-based proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) pathways, leading to electrocatalytic HER without applying the highly negative potential required to generate low-valent nickel intermediates. This is the first example of catalysts exhibiting such behavior..
