The Fe2(bdt)(CO)6 [bdt = benzenedithiolato] complex, a synthetic mimic of the [FeFe] hydrogenase enzyme can electrochemically convert protons into molecular hydrogen. Molecular understanding of the cascade of reaction steps is important for the design of more efficient catalysts. In this study, we investigate the reaction mechanism of the hydrogen production catalysis in explicit solution of acetonitrile using first principles molecular dynamics simulations. We have characterized all reduction and protonation intermediates taking part in the catalytic cycle. Free energy surfaces of the activated reaction steps are calculated using metadynamics. We find that the second protonation leading to molecular hydrogen formation is the rate limiting step. Direct protonation of the bridging hydride by a proton from the solution to form H2 is the most favorable reaction pathway. However, also a bdt sulfur atom can become protonated, leading to a possible proton trap state that reduces the catalytic efficiency. Our calculations validate the ECEC mechanism proposed using cyclic voltammetry.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
