SAPPORO, Japan, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Chemists at Hokkaido University and the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (WPI-ICReDD) have developed the first high-performance catalyst specifically designed and optimized for solid-state, mechanochemical synthesis. The team found that by attaching long polymer molecules to a metal catalyst, they could trap the catalyst in a fluid-phase, which enabled efficient reactivity at near room temperature. This approach, reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could bring cost and energy savings if adapted for wide application in chemical research and industry.

Key Points:

Chemical synthetic reactions are usually performed in solution, where dissolved molecules can intermingle and react freely.
However, solid-state reactions occur in a very different environment than solution-based reactions.
Previous studies found that palladium complex catalysts originally designed for use in solution often did not work sufficiently in solid-state mechanochemical reactions, and that high reaction temperatures were required.
They believe it could be adapted for many other reactions, and also for catalysts using other elements from the transition metals of the periodic table.

Then, taking advantage of the AFM's ability to conduct tip-induced assembly, they demonstrated the nanoribbons' capability as a framework for local probe chemistry.

Key Points:

Then, taking advantage of the AFM's ability to conduct tip-induced assembly, they demonstrated the nanoribbons' capability as a framework for local probe chemistry.
This could allow sequential reactions, particularly addition reactions (in which two molecules combine to create a bigger one), by a local probe at the single-molecule level.
The AFM's probe, terminated with a small carbon monoxide molecule, allows direct observation of the inner structures of both single molecules, as well as the products of on-surface chemical reactions.
The WPI-MANA team noted that direct addition reactions at specific sites like the ones they demonstrated can advance chemistry toward synthesis of single compounds atom by atom.

Today, new drugs frequently contain several heterocycles, including classical elements of the periodic table such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

Key Points:

Today, new drugs frequently contain several heterocycles, including classical elements of the periodic table such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
Those original structures are sought after to selectively address certain biological receptors, or to influence the drugs bioavailability.
Reactions themselves are often characterized by their exothermicity, and sometimes the energetic or unstable nature of the intermediates.
Frdric Schab, Seqens Innovation Director, explains: The key to mastering flow chemistry processes is to combine expertise in chemistry and process engineering.

One of their potential applications is as catalysts for the synthesis of ammonia.

Key Points:

One of their potential applications is as catalysts for the synthesis of ammonia.
The synthesis rate for ammonia is generally limited by the high energy required to dissociate nitrogen molecules.
Recently, perovskites with some of their oxygen atoms replaced by hydrogen and nitrogen ions have been developed as efficient catalysts for ammonia synthesis.
"Our results will pave the way in new catalyst design strategies for low-temperature ammonia synthesis," concludes Prof. Kitano.
