A strategy is reported for the immobilization of iridium-based water oxidation catalyst 3 onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) anodes evaluated for the electrocatalytic oxidation of H2O. The strategy is based on noncovalent π-π interactions between multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the cationic acetylammonium pyrene moiety (Pyr+) covalently attached to a NHC IrCp*Cl2 catalytically active center (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene, Cp*=C5Me5). The dispersive properties of the Pyr+ moiety in compound 3 leads to the formation of stable MWCNT dispersions in aqueous solutions In addition, the MWCNT/3 assembly shows activity in the Ce4+-driven oxidation of H2O. FTO/MWCNT/3 anodes show increased current densities when used as a working electrode for the electrocatalytic oxidation of H2O. At higher anodic polarizations initially high current densities were achieved; however, these currents prove to be non-sustained due to delamination and degradation of the catalytically active surface. The immobilization strategy is limited to applications below 1.4 V vs normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) as oxidation of the pyrene backbone is evident at higher potentials. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Bromo-1-(pyren-1-yl)ethanone (cas: 80480-15-5Computed Properties of C18H11BrO).
2-Bromo-1-(pyren-1-yl)ethanone (cas: 80480-15-5) belongs to organobromine compounds. Many of the organo bromine compounds are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.8 vs 2.5) and hence the carbon in a carbonbromine bond is electrophilic in nature. One prominent application of synthetic organobromine compounds is the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers as fire-retardants, and in fact fire-retardant manufacture is currently the major industrial use of the element bromine.Computed Properties of C18H11BrO
