将可再生生物质高效转化为高附加值含氮化合物, 已成为绿色化学与可持续精细化学品合成的核心课题之一. 其中伯胺作为重要的关键结构单元和合成中间体, 广泛应用于药物、聚合物、农业化学品、染料和表面活性剂的生产, 具有显著的工业价值. 在众多合成路线中, 以分子氢为还原剂, 氨水为氮源的羰基化合物的催化还原胺化反应, 因其操作简便, 原子效率高, 经济效益显著, 被视为生产伯胺最具吸引力且可持续的策略之一. 然而, 由于还原胺化反应网络的复杂性, 在活性氢和氨的作用下, 反应物和中间体的直接还原和胺化之间存在竞争性反应, 高选择性制备伯胺仍是一项巨大的挑战. 因此设计与开发具有双功能活性位点协同催化作用的催化体系有望解决这一问题.
本文通过硬模板导向的原位合成策略, 开发了一系列氮掺杂空心碳球负载RuCo合金的双金属纳米催化剂(Ru2Co1@NHCS-T, T: 600-800), 并以典型的生物质羰基化合物糠醛还原胺化制备糠胺为探针反应, 系统的评估了双金属催化剂的还原胺化性能和反应机理. 通过RuCo合金效应及金属-载体相互作用, 针对性地调控了双金属RuCo催化剂的电子结构和几何构型, 进而在RuCo合金中构建了由富电子的Ru0和缺电子的Coδ+组成的双功能活性位点, 显著提升了RuCo合金的催化活性和选择性. 其中, 优选的Ru2Co1@NHCS-600催化剂还原胺化性能尤为显著, 具有优异的稳定性和广泛的底物适用性. 该催化剂在0.1 MPa压力下表现出极高的H2活化能力, 同时对NH3, C=O和C=N键表现了出色的吸附和活化能力, 同时对NH3, C=O和C=N键表现了出色的胺化活性, 获得了98.1%的高糠胺产率和238.65 molFUA molSm-1 h-1的高反应速率. 动力学评估证实了RuCo双金属催化剂具有较低的表观活化能(28.44 kJ mol-1), 显著优于单金属Ru@NHCS-600以及绝大多数已报道的催化剂. 利用球差电镜, 原位CO吸附漫反射红外光谱, X-射线光电子能谱和H2-程序升温脱附等系统性结构表征以及本征动力学测试, 深入研究了催化体系的构效关系. 结果表明, RuCo双金属催化剂表面丰富的金属-N和吡啶-N物种可有效锚定金属纳米颗粒, 并通过电子金属-载体相互作用提高了金属电子密度; 同时Ru和Co之间的d-d轨道耦合效应实现了Co向Ru的电子转移, 从而形成了富电子Ru0和缺电子Coδ+双功能活性位点. 值得注意的是, 富电子的Ru0活性位点显著增强了对H2的吸附和解离活化, 而缺电子的Coδ+活性位点则在串联还原胺化过程中协同促进了糠醛, NH3和席夫碱中间体的吸附和活化. 密度泛函理论计算结果表明, 相比于单金属Ru催化剂, RuCo双金属催化剂对NH3具有更优的吸附与活化能力, 促进了NH2*和H*物种对席夫碱C=N键优先胺化攻击以及紧随其后的加氢断键反应, 并探究了关键席夫碱中间体的氨解反应机理.
综上, 本文提出的双金属RuCo催化剂协同催化策略, 为羰基化合物还原胺化过程中直接还原和胺化的竞争性反应提供了有效的解决途径, 也为生物质可持续转化合成高附加值含氮化合物所需的高性能催化剂的理性设计提供重要指导.
