摘要： Two nickel complexes, [Ni(tpen)](ClO4)(2).0.5CH(3)COCH(3) (1) and [Ni(tpbn)](ClO4)(2) (2), of tetrapyridyl ligands N,N,N ',N '-tetrakis(2-pyridyl-methyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (tpen) and N,N,N ',N '-tetrakis(2-pyridyl-methyl)-1,4-butanediamine (tpbn) were prepared and their catalysis for water oxidation reaction (WOR) studied. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 8.0, complex 1 is a homogeneous molecular catalyst with an overpotential of similar to 440 mV and a Faradaic efficiency of 89%. At pH >= 9.0, complex 1 degraded gradually during the catalytic process and formed NiOx composite (nickel oxide with general formula NixOyHz) active for WOR. In contrast, complex 2 deteriorated under measured conditions (pH 8.0-12.0) and formed NiOx composite active for WOR. The NiOx composite derived from 1 in 0.1 M PBS at pH 11.0 showed an activity with an overpotential of similar to 500 mV, a Tafel slope of similar to 90 mV/decade and a Faradaic efficiency of 97%. Mechanisms were proposed for water oxidation catalyzed by 1 and 2. This work revealed that the catalytic activity of the nickel complexes was related to the flexibility of the tetrapyridyl ligands and the adaptability of the coordination sphere of the nickel(II) center.
