Abstract
A molybdenum–dithiolene–oxo complex was prepared as a model of
some active sites of Mo/W-dependent enzymes. The ligand, a
quinoxaline–pyran-fused dithiolene, mimics molybdopterin present in
these active sites. For the first time, this type of complex was shown
to be active as a catalyst for the photoreduction of protons with
excellent turnover numbers (500) and good stability in aqueous/organic
media and for the electroreduction of protons in acetonitrile with
remarkable rate constants (1030 s−1 at −1.3 V versus
Ag/AgCl). DFT calculations provided insight into the catalytic cycle of
the reaction, suggesting that the oxo ligand plays a key role in proton
exchange. These results provide a basis to optimize this new class of H2-evolving catalysts.
Second nature: A bioinspired molybdenum complex employing
a quinoxaline–pyran-fused dithiolene ligand has been synthesized for
the first time. The complex was found to be an efficient and stable
catalyst for the photo- and electroreduction of protons to form
hydrogen. As suggested by DFT calculations, the oxo ligand plays a key
role in facilitating protonation of a Mo–hydride intermediate and H2 formation.
