| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to decrease the activation energy of electrochemical hydrogen evolution, novel metal complex catalysts were developed from the viewpoint of reaction mechanism. M3S2 clusters catalyzed the electrochemical reduction of water through the formation of M-H (hydride) species. Activation energy of generation of M-H species via decarboxylation of M-COOH, which was formed under pressurized CO2, would be smaller than that via direct reduction of proton on a metal center. Reactivity of Ru-COOH was investigated as a model compound of M-COOH. As a result, formamide formation was found as a CO2 reduction product in the presence of dialkylamine derivatives. In the case of NAD/NADH complex, molecular structure to enhance the hydricity of NADH framework was determined.
