Abstract

:
Pt nanoparticles with controlled sizes between 1.6–7.0 nm were anchored onto the surface and pores of SBA-15 silica support. The catalysts were characterized by TEM-ED, BET, XRD, and ICP-MS techniques and were tested in liquid phase hydrosilylation of phenylacetylene with triethylsilane. The activity of the 7.0 nm Pt nanoparticles anchored onto the surface of SBA-15 in hydrosilylation (TOF = 0.107 molecules·site−1·s−1) was ~2 times higher compared to the 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 (TOF = 0.049 molecules·site−1·s−1) catalyst and ~10 times higher compared to the 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15 (TOF = 0.017 molecules·site−1·s−1) catalyst. Regarding the selectivity, bigger nanoparticles produced more vinylsilane-type products (α- and β-(E)-products) and less side products (mainly ditriethylsilane, triethyl(1-phenylethyl)silane and triethyl(phenethyl)silane derived likely from the reduction of the vinylsilane products). However, the selectivity towards the β-(E)-triethyl(styryl)silane was higher in the case of 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15 catalyst compared to 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 and 7.0 nm Pt/SBA-15, respectively, which can be attributed to the beneficial effect of the size differences of the Pt nanoparticles as well as the differences of the quality and quantity of Pt/SiO2 interfaces.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Organosilicon compounds obtained by hydrosilylation of unsaturated C-C-bonds are of great interest both from industrial and academic point of view [1]. On one hand, they are the building blocks of several polymeric materials, while vinylsilanes derived from acetylenes are greener alternatives of organotin, organozinc, or organoboron compounds in transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions [2]. The preparation of vinylsilanes from alkynes, however, could result in the formation of diverse product structures, thus controlling the selectivity of the reaction is of great importance. Transition metal catalysts have been employed in hydrosylilation reactions, among which heterogeneous ones are gaining importance within the frames of green chemistry [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Supported Pt [3,4,5,7,8,9,14], Pd [13], Pd alloys [15,16], and Au [6,10,12] particles have been shown to be efficient heterogeneous hydrosylilation catalysts leading mostly to the β-(E) product with high selectivity (Figure 1).
In contrast with extensive efforts targeting high selectivities, the effect of metal particle size on hydrosilylation of acetylenes has rarely been reported in the literature [6,17], although the effect of particle size and morphology could have a pronounced effect of the outcome of the reaction.
UHV as well as high pressure and in situ (e.g., sum frequency generation infrared spectroscopy) techniques proved that surface chemical processes are mostly structure sensitive reactions. The activation energy of the hydrogenation of benzene towards cyclohexane is approximately two times smaller on hexagonal Pt(111) surfaces compared to square Pt(100) surfaces [18]. Pt(100) and Pt(13,1,1) were four times more active in isobutene isomerization towards n-butane compared to Pt(111) and Pt(10,8,7) surfaces [19]. In the case of metal nanoparticles with the size of 1–10 nm, the concentration of the surfaces with different Miller indices are drastically changing as the size of the particles are changing. Beside the surface-to-volume ratio, the number of the steps and kinks, the surface rearrangement compared to bulk counterpart under reaction conditions and the concentration of the different Miller indices could result in activity and selectivity differences of metallic nanoparticles with different size.
Hence, the synthesis as well as the catalytic activity and selectivity of size controlled metallic nanoparticles have been extensively studied [20,21,22,23,24,25]. For instance, in the gas phase, Rh nanoparticles with smaller sizes showed higher activity in CO oxidation [26]. However, Pt nanoparticles with bigger size (8–11 nm) were more active in lightweight hydrocarbon oxidation compared to smaller (1–4 nm) nanoparticles [27].
In this study, we prepared Pt nanoparticles with controlled size between 1.6–7.0 nm and anchored them onto the surface and pores of SBA-15 silica support. We characterized the catalysts with TEM-ED, BET, XRD, and ICP-Ms techniques and tested them in liquid phase hydrosilylation reactions at 70 °C.
We found that the activity of the 7.0 nm Pt nanoparticles anchored onto the surface of SBA-15 was ~2 times and ~10 times faster compared to 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 and 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15, respectively. In the case of selectivity, bigger nanoparticles produced more vinylsilane-type products (α- and β-(E)-products) and less side products (mainly ditriethylsilane, triethyl(1-phenylethyl)silane and triethyl(phenethyl)silane derived likely from the reduction of the vinylsilane products). However, the selectivity towards the β-(E)-triethyl(styryl)silane was found to be higher in the case of the 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15 catalyst.

2. Results and Discussion

Pt nanoparticles were prepared in ethylene-glycol from different Pt-salt precursors (hexachloroplatinic acid, tetrachloro-platinate, and platinum(II) acetylacetonate) while PVP was used as capping agent and surface controlling agent. Controlled size Pt nanoparticles were observed by TEM with narrow size distribution with sizes of 1.6 ± 0.5 nm, 5.0 ± 1.0 nm, and 7.0 ± 1.0 nm (Figure 2).
SBA-15 silica was used as support material for the controlled size Pt nanoparticles in the hydrosilylation reactions. SBA-15 was successfully synthesized from TEOS precursor resulted in a mesoporous structure with pores of 2–4 nm in diameter (Figure 3). The amorphous nature of silica was identified by XRD as well as type V isotherm characteristic for mesoporous materials were observed by BET measurements (Figure 4). A typical SBA-15 sample has a specific surface area of 798 m2/g with an average pore diameter of 2.3 nm correlates well with TEM images. Size-controlled Pt nanoparticles were anchored onto the surface and into the pores of the SBA-15 silica support by a sonication process resulting in different Pt/SBA-15 catalysts (Figure 3).
The as-prepared Pt/SBA-15 catalysts were tested in liquid phase hydrosilylation of phenylacetylene with triethylsilane at 70 °C in THF. The main vinylsilane products of the reaction were triethyl(1-phenylvinyl)silane (α-product, 1) and (E)-triethyl(styryl)silane (β-(E)-product, 2) (Figure 5). It has to be noted, that the (Z)-triethyl(styryl)silane (β-(Z)-product, 3) was not detected.
Apart from vinylsilanes 1 and 2, dimerized triethylsilane (4) and the saturated derivatives of vinylsilane 1 and 2—namely, triethyl(1-phenylethyl)silane (5) and triethyl(phenethyl)silane (6)—were detected as side products. The latter two compounds likely formed via the hydrogenation of 1 and 2 with triethylsilane being the hydrogen source. The catalytic reactions were monitored by GC-MS technique, by which the above mentioned products were identified.
The conversions were 7.4, 3.8, and 6.8% for 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15, 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15, and 7.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 catalysts, respectively after 6 h of reactions. The activity of the 7.0 nm Pt nanoparticles anchored onto the surface of SBA-15 in hydrosilylation (TOF = 0.107 molecules·site−1·s−1) was ~2 times higher compared to the 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 (TOF = 0.049 molecules·site−1·s−1) catalyst and ~10 times higher compared to the 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15 (TOF = 0.017 molecules·site−1·s−1) catalyst (Figure 6A).
This difference in activity could be attributed to the size differences of the nanoparticles, which resulted in different surface-to-volume ratios, different concentrations of the different Miller indices facets on the surfaces, as well as the different surface rearrangements under reaction conditions. On the other hand, it is explored that the Pt-SiO2 interface can play an important role in catalytic activity and selectivity [28,29,30]. Due to the different sizes and positions of the Pt nanoparticles on the surface as well as in the pores of the SBA-15 support, Pt-SiO2 interfaces with different quantities and qualities are formed.
Regarding selectivity, bigger nanoparticles produced more vinylsilane products 1 and 2 and less side products (4–6) (Figure 6B). In the case of 7.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 catalyst, selectivity towards the side products (19%) was ~1.5 and 2 times higher compared to 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 (27%) and 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15 (37%) catalysts, respectively. Considering that both the hydrosilylation reaction leading to the desired vinylsilanes 1 and 2 and the triethylsilane mediated hydrogenation leading to alkanes 5 and 6 are occurring on the Pt-surface, the difference in activity could be due to additional confinement effects [31] in case of smaller Pt particles. When catalysts containing smaller Pt particles are used, that are largely inside the mesopores of the support, the vinlysilane products spend comparably more time in the proximity of the metal, giving higher probability of the subsequent reduction step. Overall, this leads to higher ratio of the side-products 5 and 6. On the other hand, in cases of larger particles that are on the outer surface of the support, the product can leave the catalytic particle more easily following its formation, preventing further reactions leading to compounds 5 and 6.
Regarding the selectivity between vinylsilanes 1 and 2, all Pt nanoparticle based catalysts produced more β-(E) product (2) than α-product (1), however, their ratio was dependent on the size of the Pt particles. In the case of 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15, the 2/1 ratio was 3, which value was decreased to 2.17 and 1.75 for 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 and 7.0 nm Pt/SBA-15, respectively, which can be attributed to the beneficial effect of the differences arisen from the size of the Pt nanoparticles as well as the Pt/SiO2 interfaces.
In summary, bigger Pt particles are more active in hydrosilylation reactions of phenylacetylene with triethylsilane and they produce less side products. The smaller particles are less active, however their selectivity towards the β-(E) product (2) is higher. The results presented here show the importance of Pt particle size in the design of active and selective catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions. However, to further improve the selectivity between the required vinylsilane products the particle size and the pore-size as well as the nature of the support material have to be optimized parallel.

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. Synthesis of SBA-15 Mesoporous Silica

Synthesis of SBA-15 silica is well known [32]. Here, 8 g of pre-melted Pluronic-123 (Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) 60 mL distilled water and 240 mL of 2 M HCl (Molar Chemicals Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) solution were mixed at 40 °C for 2 h. After the P-123 was dissolved, 17 g of TEOS (Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) was added dropwise to the mixture at 40 °C and continuous stirring were applied for 20 h. Stirring was continued for 1.5 days at 60 °C. After the synthesis, the product was filtered and washed with distilled water. After washing, the product was heated to 100 °C with a heating rate of 2 °C·min−1 and aged for 5 h, then the temperature was elevated to 550 °C with a heating rate of 1 °C·min−1. After 4 h of calcination, the product was collected.

3.2. Synthesis of 1.6 nm Platinum Nanoparticles

For 1.6 nm Pt nanoparticles, 29 mg of PtCl4 (Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) and 50 mg of NaOH (Molar Chemicals Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) was dissolved in two separate portions of 2.5 mL of ethylene-glycol [33]. The solutions were then mixed and heated to 160 °C and kept at that temperature for 3 h under Ar atmosphere. After cooling down, 2.5 mL 1 M HCl (Molar Chemicals Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) solution was added to the black suspension and the nanoparticles were collected by centrifugation. The as-obtained nanoparticles were redispersed in 10 mL of 2.1 mg/mL PVP (Mw = 40.000) (Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) in ethanol with ultrasonication. The nanoparticles were washed with hexane precipitation/ethanol redispersion cycles. Finally, the product was dispersed in 10 mL ethanol.

3.3. Synthesis of 5.0 nm Platinum Nanoparticles

For 5.0 nm Pt nanoparticles, 0.04 g Pt(C5H7O2)2 and 35 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, MW = 40,000, Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) were dissolved in 5 mL ethylene-glycol, and ultrasonicated for 30 min to get a homogenous solution [33]. The reactor was a three-necked round bottom flask, which was evacuated and purged with atmospheric pressure argon gas for several cycles to get rid of additional oxygen and water. After three purging cycles, the flask was immersed in an oil bath heated to 200 °C under vigorous stirring of the reaction mixture as well as the oil bath. After 10 min of reaction, the flask was cooled down to room temperature. The suspension was precipitated by adding acetone and centrifuging. The nanoparticles were washed by centrifuging with hexane and redispersed in ethanol for at least 2–3 cycles, and finally redispersed in ethanol.

3.4. Synthesis of 7.0 nm Platinum Nanoparticles

For 7.0 nm Pt nanoparticles, 40 mg H2PtCl4 (Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) and 40 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, MW = 40,000, Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary) were dissolved in 2.5 mL ethylene-glycol and mixed with a solution of 2.5 mL of 0.075 M NaOH (Molar Chemicals Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) in ethylene-glycol using a three-necked round bottom flask [33]. After 30 min of sonication, the flask was purged with atmospheric pressure argon gas. After three purging cycles, the flask was immersed into an oil bath heated to 160 °C under vigorous stirring of the reaction mixture as well as the oil bath. After 180 min of reaction, the flask was cooled down to room temperature. The pH of the suspension was neutralized with 2 M aqueous solution of HCl (Molar Chemicals Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). The suspension was precipitated by adding acetone. After precipitation, the particles were washed by centrifugation with hexane and redispersed in ethanol for at least 2–3 cycles, and finally stored in ethanol.

3.5. Preparation of the Silica Supported Pt Nanoparticle Catalysts

The different size of Pt nanoparticles and silica supports (SBA-15) were mixed together in ethanol and sonicated in an ultrasonic bath (40 kHz, 80 W) for 3 h to reach a nominal 1% of Pt loading [29,34]. The supported nanoparticles were collected by centrifugation. The products were washed with ethanol three times before they were dried at 80 °C overnight. For the ethanol decomposition reactions, the catalysts were pretreated as described later. The size of the Pt nanoparticles was determined by using TEM images. The number of the Pt nanoparticles loaded into the test samples were calculated by the results of TEM and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The real concentrations of the 1.6 nm Pt/SBA-15, 5.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 and the 7.0 nm Pt/SBA-15 samples were 0.35, 0.81, and 0.33%, respectively. The calculation of the number of the active sites was based on these results assuming Pt nanoparticles with spherical shape and Pt (111) surfaces and that of every surface Pt atom is active in the reaction.

3.6. Characterization of the Catalysts

Imaging of the different silica supports, Pt nanoparticles and derived catalysts, as well as the size distribution of the nanoparticles was performed by an FEI TECNAI G2 20 X-Twin high-resolution transmission electron microscope (FEI, OR, USA) (equipped with electron diffraction) operating at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. The samples were drop-cast onto carbon film coated copper grids from ethanol suspension.
XRD studies of the silica supports were performed on a Rigaku MiniFlex II instrument (Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) with a Ni-filtered CuKα source in the range of 2θ = 10–80°.
The specific surface area (BET method), the pore size distribution were determined by the BJH method using a Quantachrome NOVA 2200 gas sorption analyzer (Quantachrome, FL, USA) by N2 gas adsorption/desorption at −196 °C. Before the measurements, the samples were pre-treated in vacuum (<~0.1 mbar) at 473 K for 2 h.
The loading of the Pt on the supported catalysts was determined by ICP-MS technique. The measurements were performed using an Agilent 7700x type ICP-MS spectrometer (Santa Clara, CA, USA). The sample uptake rate was 200 µL·min−1. The ICP plasma and interface parameters were set according to the standard hot plasma configuration (e.g., RF forward power: 1550 W, argon carrier gas flow rate: 1.05 L/min, sampling depth: 8.0 mm). Fine tuning was performed before the analytical measurements using tuning solutions supplied by the manufacturer (G1820-60410, 5185–5959 Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). All measurements were carried out using the He mode of the ORS3 collision cell by monitoring the signal of 195Pt isotope.
1H NMR spectroscopy (Bruker AVANCE DRX 400, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to characterize vinylsilane products 1–3 (Figure 7).

3.7. Catalytic Hydrosilylation Reactions

Hydrosilylation of phenylacetylene with triethylsilane was used as a model reaction for exploring the heterogeneous catalytic hydrosilylation reaction over size-controlled Pt nanoparticles. In a typical reaction, phenylacetylene (55 μL, 0.5 mmol) and triethylsilane (80 μL, 0.5 mmol) were dissolved in THF (1 mL) followed by the addition of the catalyst (total of 25 mg; ~0.25 mg of metallic Pt). The mixture was heated at 70 °C for 6 h, centrifuged, and the supernatant was analyzed with GC-MS technique. The TOF values were calculated at the kinetic regime where the conversion was between 1–10%.
The main vinylsilane products triethyl(1-phenylvinyl)silane (α-product, 1), (E)-triethyl(styryl)silane (β-(E)-product, 2) and (Z)-triethyl(styryl)silane (β-(Z)-product, 3) were prepared by using Pt/Al2O3 (E4759) catalyst under the same conditions described above, and analyzed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy (Figure 2). The products isolated from the control reaction were used to assign the α-product (1) and the β-(E)-product (2) in subsequent GC-MS analyses.

4. Conclusions

Size controlled Pt nanoparticles showed size-dependent activity and selectivity in the case of phenylacetylene hydrosilylation with triethylsilane in the liquid phase. 7.0 nm Pt nanopartciles supported on the surface of SBA-15 silica has the highest activity compared to smaller Pt nanoparticles (1.6 nm and 5.0 nm). In the case of selectivity, smaller particles produced more β-(E) product (2) compared to α-product (1).
The results show that controlled size synthesis of Pt nanoparticles is a viable tool for tuning catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrosilylation reactions. Beside the particle size, the tuning of the pore size of the support—even if the support is inert—has to be considered in order to optimize well defined Pt/SiO2 interfaces to design catalysts towards 100% activity and selectivity.
