Research Abstract |
A ruthenium carbonyl cluster complex Ru_3(CO)_<12> exhibited homogeneous catalysis for cyclooctane dehydrogenation, yielding cyclooctene and dihydrogen at T.O.N.= 69, whereas cyclohexanes were unreactive even under boiling and refluxing conditions in contrast to catalytically-active platinum or platinum-ruthenium composite fine particles. Pt-Ru composite catalysts were prepared from an ionic pair of Cs_2[Pt_3(CO)_6]_5 and [Ru(C_6Me_6)_2](BF_4)_2 by precepitation on a carbon support, followed by a heat treatment or from the surface modification of a platinum catalyst with a ruthenium hydrido-carbonyl complex H_4Ru_4(CO)_<12>. These composite catalysts were highly-active for dehydrogeno-aromatization of ethylcyclohexane. Photocatalytic alkane dehydrogenation was demonstrated with the A-frame dinuclear complexed of rhodium and iridium. It is noteworthy that the photoactive band at 365 nm of RhCl(CO)(PR_3)_2 is now extended to 475 nm (dinuclear Rh) and to 520 nm (dinuclear Ir), since it is important from the viewpoint of solar energy utilization.
