Designing heterogeneous solid surface frustrated Lewis pair (ssFLP) catalyst for hydrogenation is a new challenge in catalysis and no research has been reported on the construction of ssFLP on boehmite (AlOOH) surfaces up to now as far as we know. Herein, AlOOH with a layer structure is prepared and it is found that the Lewis basic O site (one H removed from OH) and an adjacent Lewis acidic unsaturated Al site (Al.) proximal to a surface OH (OH vacancy) on AlOOH layers could form the ssFLP. The layered structure of AlOOH and its abundant OH defects over the surface result in a high concentration of O/Al. FLPs, which are conducive to highly efficient hydrogen activation for hydrogenation of olefins and alkynes with low H-H bond dissociates activation energy of 0.16 eV under mild conditions (T = 80°C and P(H) = 2.0 MPa). This work develops a new kind of hydrogenation catalyst and provides a new perspective for creating solid surface FLP.
设计用于氢化的非均相固体表面受阻路易斯对(ssFLP)催化剂是催化领域的一项新挑战,据我们所知,迄今为止尚未有关于在勃姆石(AlOOH)表面构建ssFLP的研究报道。在此,制备了具有层状结构的AlOOH,发现AlOOH层上的路易斯碱性O位点(从OH中除去一个H)和与表面OH(OH空位)相邻的路易斯酸性不饱和Al位点(Al.)可以形成ssFLP。AlOOH的层状结构及其表面丰富的OH缺陷导致O/Al FLP的高浓度,这有利于在温和条件下(T = 80°C,P(H) = 2.0 MPa)以低H-H键解离活化能0.16 eV对烯烃和炔烃进行高效氢活化用于氢化反应。这项工作开发了一种新型氢化催化剂,并为创建固体表面FLP提供了新的视角。
