Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of water oxidation by single-site ruthenium complex catalysts.
TL;DR: The mechanism of Ce(IV) water oxidation catalyzed by Ru(tpy)(bpm)(OH(2))](2+) and related single-site catalysts has been determined by a combination of mixing and stopped-flow experiments with spectrophotometric monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operando time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals the chemical nature enabling highly selective CO 2 reduction
Sheng Chih Lin,Chun Chih Chang,Shih Yun Chiu,Hsiao Tien Pai,Tzu Yu Liao,Chia-Shuo Hsu,Wei Hung Chiang,Ming Kang Tsai,Hao Ming Chen +8 more
TL;DR: An operando seconds-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy is developed to uncover the chemical state evolution of working catalysts in a carbon dioxide electroreduction process and offer understandings of the fundamental chemical states and insights to the establishment of selective CO2RR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium complexes with non-innocent ligands: Electron distribution and implications for catalysis
TL;DR: In this article, the electron distribution within Ru-NIL systems can be modulated by altering both the ancillary ligands and the NIL, and in a few cases the resultant electron distributions are exploited for catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Stabilizing High-Valent Active Sites by Operando High-Energy Resolution Fluorescence-Detected X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy for High-Efficiency Water Oxidation
Sung Fu Hung,Yu Te Chan,Chun Chih Chang,Ming Kang Tsai,Yen Fa Liao,Nozomu Hiraoka,Chia-Shuo Hsu,Hao Ming Chen +7 more
TL;DR: Operando HERFD-XAS approach corresponding to the local orbital interaction in reactant/catalyst interface can potentially offer synergetic strategies toward realizing the chemical reactions or reaction pathways in various fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid approach for free energy calculations with high-level methods: Application to the SN2 reaction of CHCl3 and OH− in water
Marat Valiev,Bruce C. Garrett,Ming Kang Tsai,Karol Kowalski,Shawn M. Kathmann,Gregory K. Schenter,Michel Dupuis +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents an approach to calculate the free energy profile along a condensed-phase reaction path based on high-level electronic structure methods for the reactive region using molecular mechanics, density functional theory, and coupled cluster theories.
