Active sites in carbon-catalyzed phosgene synthesis from gaseous CO and Cl2 have been identified using C60 fullerene as a model catalyst. The carbon atoms distorted from sp(2) coordination in non-planar carbon units are concluded to generate active Cl2 . Experiments and density functional theory calculations indicate the formation of a surface-bound [C60 ⋅⋅⋅Cl2 ] chlorine species with radical character as key intermediate during phosgene formation. It reacts rapidly with physisorbed CO in a two-step Eley-Rideal-type mechanism.
使用 C60 富勒烯作为模型催化剂,确定了碳催化气相 CO 和 Cl2 合成光气中的活性位。从非平面碳单元中的 sp(2)配位中扭曲的碳原子被认为生成了活性 Cl2。实验和密度泛函理论计算表明,在光气形成过程中,形成了表面结合的 [C60 ⋅⋅⋅Cl2] 氯物种,具有自由基特征,是关键中间体。它在两步 Eley-Rideal 型机理中与物理吸附的 CO 快速反应。
