Description
本発明は水素発生剤に関し、特に水のｐＨに依存して酸化状態が変わることを利用して水素を発生させる新規な水素発生剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a hydrogen generating agent, and more particularly to a novel hydrogen generating agent that generates hydrogen by utilizing the change of oxidation state depending on the pH of water.
天然に豊富に存在する水を原料とした水分解反応は、水素や酸素を純粋な形で取り出し、工業用ガスとして利用するための重要な手段と位置づけられ、実用化を目指した技術の革新が求められている。現在は太陽光などの光エネルギーを駆動力とした光触媒を用いた電気化学セル上での水分解反応について盛んに技術開発が行われている。しかしながら、いかなる触媒系を用いても太陽光の量子収率が１０％に満たず、そのような触媒系を利用した水分解反応も非常に緩慢なものであるのが現状である（特許文献１）。また、光触媒以外でも、炭化水素系のガスを分解する、水蒸気を炭素と反応させる、イオン化傾向の大きな金属を酸と反応させる、水を電気分解する等の多様な方法が存在するが、これらの方法でも、コスト低下の余地が少ない、得られた水素を使用するに当たって有害である等の不純物を含む、高温や高圧下の反応であったり大規模な設備が必要である等の問題を有する。 The water splitting reaction that uses natural abundant water as a raw material is regarded as an important means for extracting hydrogen and oxygen in pure form and using it as an industrial gas, and technological innovation aimed at practical use is It has been demanded. At present, technological development is actively being carried out on water decomposition reaction on an electrochemical cell using a photocatalyst driven by light energy such as sunlight. However, the present condition is that the quantum yield of sunlight is less than 10% using any catalyst system, and the water splitting reaction using such a catalyst system is also very slow (Patent Document 1) ). In addition to photocatalysts, there are various methods such as decomposition of hydrocarbon gas, reaction of steam with carbon, reaction of metal with large ionization tendency with acid, electrolysis of water, etc. Even in the method, there is a problem that there is little room for cost reduction, contains impurities such as harmful in using the obtained hydrogen, is a reaction under high temperature or high pressure, or requires a large scale equipment.
そこで、本発明は、水を分解して水素を発生するに当たって、既存の水素発生方法や材料とは全く異なる原理により水素を得るための水素発生剤及び水素発生方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hydrogen generating agent and a hydrogen generating method for obtaining hydrogen based on a completely different principle from existing hydrogen generating methods and materials when decomposing water to generate hydrogen. .

本発明によれば、これまで知られている光触媒等による水の分解等とは異なる機構で水から水素を発生させる水素発生剤及びそれを使用した水素発生方法が与えられる。この水素発生剤はあるｐＨ範囲において水から水素を発生させる。この水素発生反応により水素発生剤それ自体は化学変化により別の物質となるが、溶液のｐＨを変えることによって元の水素発生材料として再生させることができるため、水素発生反応に使用しても実質的に消耗せず、原理的には無制限に繰り返し水素を発生させることができる。更に、水素発生反応においては原理的に酸素は発生しないため、通常の水の分解反応の場合のように同時に発生する酸素を分離するための処置を取らなくても、酸素が不純物として混入していない水素を容易に得ることができる。さらに、水素を必要とする化学反応を用いて任意の物質を製造する方法において、本発明の水素発生剤又は及び水素発生方法を用いて水素を発生させることにより、例えば、他の水素供給源からの水素供給なしで化学反応を進行させ、極めて効率よく物質を製造することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, a hydrogen generating agent for generating hydrogen from water by a mechanism different from decomposition of water by a photocatalyst or the like which has been known so far and a hydrogen generating method using the same are provided. This hydrogen generating agent generates hydrogen from water in a certain pH range. The hydrogen generation reaction itself becomes a separate substance by a chemical change by this hydrogen generation reaction, but since it can be regenerated as the original hydrogen generation material by changing the pH of the solution, it is substantially used even in the hydrogen generation reaction. In principle, hydrogen can be generated repeatedly without limit. Furthermore, since oxygen is not generated in principle in the hydrogen generation reaction, oxygen is mixed as an impurity even without taking measures to separate the simultaneously generated oxygen as in the case of a normal water decomposition reaction. Not hydrogen can be easily obtained. Furthermore, in the method of producing any substance using a chemical reaction that requires hydrogen, by generating hydrogen using the hydrogen generator of the present invention or the hydrogen generation method of the present invention, for example, from other hydrogen sources It is possible to advance the chemical reaction without supplying hydrogen and to produce the substance extremely efficiently.
テトラチアフルバレン（tetrathiafulvalene、ＴＴＦ）骨格を有する化合物はその導電性等の特異な性質を有することで知られており、多数の文献がこの種の化合物を取り扱っている。たとえば、特許文献２には、縮環した含硫黄π化合物である縮環テトラチアフルバレンにカルボン酸官能基を導入したものが記載されており、そのような例として、３種の縮環テトラチアフルバレン誘導体が示されており、具体的には、（１）ＴＴＰＣＯＯＨ、ＴＴＰＣＯＯＤ、（２）ＴＴＰ（ＣＯＯＨ）２、ＴＴＰ（ＣＯＯＤ）２、（３）（ＴＴＰＣＯＯ）２ＮＨ４、（ＴＴＰＣＯＯ）２ＮＤ４が挙げられている。本発明者はこの種の化合物のうちの（ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＬｉＯＨ）（ここで整数ｎ≧１）及び（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＬｉＯＨ）２（ここで整数ｎ≧０）なる構造を有する化合物（以下、夫々（ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体及び（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体と称することがある）が水中でｐＨを変化させることで水から水素を発生させる化学反応を起こし、また水素発生後に別のｐＨに変化させることで元の化合物が再生される反応を起こすことを見出し、この化合物を水素発生剤として使用するという本発明を完成させるに至った。ここで、ＴＴＦ内の硫黄（Ｓ）の少なくとも一部をセレン（Ｓｅ）で置換しても同じ反応が起きるので水素発生剤として使用できる。また、アルカリ金属として、リチウム（Ｌｉ）の代わりにナトリウム（Ｎａ）を使用しても同様であり、従ってこの化合物も水素発生剤として使用することができる。ただし、Ｎａの方がＬｉよりもイオン半径が大きいため、Ｌｉを使用する方が物質の安定性が高い。以下ではもっぱらＳｅによる上記置換を行わず、またＬｉを使用した場合について説明する。なお、以下ではそれぞれｎ＝１の場合である（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体及び（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体に例を取って説明するが、本願の特許請求の範囲に記載された発明の技術的特徴について、一般性を失うものではない。
ここでｎの上限について説明すれば、合成が可能である限り、（ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＬｉＯＨ）及び（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦｎ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＬｉＯＨ）２は、ｎがどのように大きな値になっても以下で詳述する水素発生反応及びその逆反応を起こすことができる。しかし、ｎが大きくなるにつれて合成が極めて困難になる。そのため、現実的にはｎは５以下とするのが好ましい。A compound having a tetrathiafulvalene (tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) skeleton is known for its unique properties such as conductivity, and a large number of documents deal with this type of compound. For example, Patent Document 2 describes a fused-ring tetrathiafulvalene, which is a fused sulfur-containing π compound, into which a carboxylic acid functional group is introduced. As such an example, three kinds of fused-ring tetrathiafulnes are described. Valene derivatives are shown, and specifically, (1) TTPCOOH, TTPCOOD, (2) TTP (COOH) 2 , TTP (COOD) 2 , (3) (TTPCOO) 2 NH 4 , (TTPCOO) 2 ND 4 is mentioned. The inventors have found that (TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) 2 (LiOH) (where the integer n 整数 1) and (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) 2 (COOLi) 2 among the compounds of this type. Compounds having a structure of LiOH) 2 (here, integer n 0 0) (hereinafter each (TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex and (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) The 2- (LiOH) 2 complex) changes the pH in water to cause a chemical reaction that generates hydrogen from water, and changes the pH to another pH after hydrogen is generated, and the original compound becomes It has been found to cause a reaction to be regenerated, and the present invention of using this compound as a hydrogen generator has been completed. Here, even if at least a part of sulfur (S) in TTF is replaced with selenium (Se), the same reaction occurs, so it can be used as a hydrogen generator. In addition, sodium (Na) may be used instead of lithium (Li) as an alkali metal, and therefore this compound can also be used as a hydrogen generator. However, since Na has a larger ion radius than Li, using Li has higher stability of the substance. In the following, the case of not using the above substitution exclusively with Se and using Li is described. In the following, examples are given for (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex and (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 complex, where n = 1 respectively. However, the technical features of the invention described in the claims of the present application do not lose generality.
Here, if the upper limit of n is described, as long as synthesis is possible, (TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) 2 (LiOH) and (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF n -TTF) (COOLi) 2 (LiOH) No. 2 can cause the hydrogen generation reaction described in detail below and its reverse reaction regardless of how large n is. However, as n increases, the synthesis becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, practically, n is preferably 5 or less.
＜（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体による水素発生＞
以下に本複合体を水素発生剤として使用した水素発生反応及びその逆反応である本複合体の再生を行う反応についての化学反応式を示す。<H2 evolution by (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex>
The chemical reaction formula for the reaction for regenerating the present complex, which is the hydrogen generation reaction using the present complex as a hydrogen generating agent and the reverse reaction thereof, is shown below.
本明細書及び特許請求の範囲において、反応式の左辺の複合体を、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体とも表記し、反応式の右辺の化合物をＴＥＤ−Ｙ（ただし、Ｙ＝Ｌｉ，Ｈ）と表記することがある点に留意されたい。溶液が塩基性の状態では上の反応式で表す平衡状態は、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体中のＴＴＦ骨格が低酸化状態である左辺側に移動する。逆に擬似中性から酸性では平衡状態が右辺側に移動し、ＴＥＤ−Ｌｉ中のＴＴＦ骨格は高酸化状態となる。In the present specification and claims, the complex on the left side of the reaction formula is also referred to as (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex, and the compound on the right side of the reaction formula is TED-Y (where Y is Note that it may be written as = Li, H). When the solution is in the basic state, the equilibrium state represented by the above reaction formula moves to the left side where the TTF skeleton in the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex is in a low oxidation state. Conversely, the equilibrium state shifts to the right side from pseudo-neutral to acidic, and the TTF skeleton in TED-Li becomes highly oxidized.
なお、ここで言う「擬似中性」とはちょうどｐＨ＝７であることを意味するわけではなく、一般にｐＨが７の近傍を含む範囲と言うことである。（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体の場合には、以下の実施例で図４を参照して説明するように、「擬似中性から酸性」とはｐＨが１１以下の範囲であり、「塩基性」とはｐＨがそれより大きな範囲を指す。水素発生剤として他の化合物を使用した場合には、その境界のｐＨ値は異なる可能性がある。The term "pseudo-neutral" as used herein does not necessarily mean that pH = 7, but generally refers to a range including the vicinity of pH 7. In the case of (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex, “pseudo-neutral to acidic” means that the pH is in the range of 11 or less, as described with reference to FIG. 4 in the following example. Yes, “basic” refers to the range over which the pH is greater. When other compounds are used as hydrogen generators, the pH value at the boundary may be different.
また、既に述べたように、本発明の水素発生剤としては（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体以外の化合物も存在する。水素発生剤として使用する化合物が異なれば（例えば次の実施例の化合物）この平衡状態移動に係るｐＨの値が同じになるとは限らないが、いずれにせよｐＨ値に依存して上記反応式の平衡状態が移動する。つまり、一般的に表現すれば、ｐＨ値がこの境界の値以下の範囲を「擬似中性から酸性」と呼び、ｐＨ値がこの境界の値以上の範囲を「塩基性」と呼ぶ。Moreover, as already mentioned, compounds other than (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex also exist as a hydrogen generating agent of this invention. If the compounds used as hydrogen generators are different (for example, the compounds of the following examples), the value of pH involved in this equilibrium state transfer is not necessarily the same, but in any case, depending on the pH value, the above reaction formula The equilibrium moves. That is, generally speaking, the range in which the pH value is less than or equal to the value at this boundary is referred to as "pseudo-neutral to acidic", and the range in which the pH value is greater than or equal to the value of this boundary is referred to as "basic".
溶液を擬似中性〜酸性とした時、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体は溶液中の水（あるいは上の反応式中に例示したように塩酸、臭化水素酸、ヨウ化水素酸、リン酸、その他、１当量のＬｉＯＨを中和できる程度の酸性度を有するブレンステッド酸であれば何でもよい）から水素を奪って１／２当量のＨ２を発生し、それ自身はＴＥＤ（Zwitterionic tetrathiafulvalene-extended dicarboxylate radical）−Ｙとなる（Ｙ＝Ｌｉ、Ｈ）。Ｙ＝Ｈの場合、つまりＴＥＤ−ＨのＩＵＰＡＣ名は2-{5-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)- [1,3]dithiolo[4,5-d][1,3]dithiol-2-ylidene}-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylic acidである（非特許文献１）。その後、溶液のｐＨを塩基性とすることにより平衡状態は上式の左辺側に移動し、ＴＥＤ−Ｙが（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に変換される。このように、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体はその水溶液のｐＨを擬似中性あるいは酸性とすることによって自発的に水素を発生し、ｐＨを塩基性とすることにより、逆反応によって当初の（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体が再生される。溶液のｐＨを塩基性と擬似中性〜酸性の間で変化させることにより起こる上述の反応サイクルでは（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体はＴＥＤ−Ｙへの変換と再生が行なわれるため、この複合体は実質的には消費されず、従って溶液を塩基性と擬似中性〜酸性との間で変化させるためにその都度酸あるいは塩基を投入する等のｐＨ調節処理を行うだけで、理論的にはこの反応サイクルを無制限に繰り返し、各サイクルで（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して１／２当量のＨ２を発生させることができる。なお、溶液のｐＨを擬似中性〜酸性に変化させるためには、酸の代わりに水を投入してもよい。When the solution is pseudoneutral to acidic, the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex is water in the solution (or hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, iodinated as exemplified in the above reaction formula) Any hydrogen acid, phosphoric acid, or any other Bronsted acid having an acidity enough to neutralize 1 equivalent of LiOH) can be deprived of hydrogen to generate 1/2 equivalent of H 2 , It becomes TED (Zwitterionic tetrathiafulvalene-extended dicarboxylate radical) -Y (Y = Li, H). When Y = H, that is, the IUPAC name of TED-H is 2- {5- (1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-[1,3] dithiolo [4,5-d] [1,3] dithiol -2- ylidene} -1,3-dithiole-4, 5-dicarboxylic acid (non-patent document 1). Thereafter, by making the pH of the solution basic, the equilibrium moves to the left side of the above equation, and TED-Y is converted to (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex. Thus, the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex spontaneously generates hydrogen by making the pH of the aqueous solution pseudoneutral or acidic, and reverse by making the pH basic. The reaction regenerates the original (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex. In the above reaction cycle, which is caused by changing the pH of the solution between basic and quasi-neutral to acidic, (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex undergoes conversion to TED-Y and regeneration Therefore, this complex is not substantially consumed, and therefore, only by performing pH adjustment treatment such as adding an acid or a base each time to change the solution between basic and quasi-neutral to acidic. In theory, this reaction cycle can be repeated indefinitely, and each cycle can generate 1/2 equivalent of H 2 with respect to the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex. In order to change the pH of the solution from quasi-neutral to acidic, water may be introduced instead of the acid.
溶液のｐＨを擬似中性〜酸性としたとき、溶液中の酸の量が少ない場合にはＴＥＤ−Ｌｉが生成されるが、溶液のｐＨの制御のために（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して１当量よりも多くの酸を用いた場合には、ＴＥＤ−Ｈまで変換される。この場合には、逆反応において、上式に記載したよりもＬｉＯＨを１当量余分に必要とする。When the pH of the solution is pseudoneutral to acidic, TED-Li is formed when the amount of acid in the solution is small, but for controlling the pH of the solution (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 If more than one equivalent of acid is used to the -LiOH complex, it is converted to TED-H. In this case, in the reverse reaction, one equivalent of LiOH is required more than that described in the above equation.
なお、上の反応式中ではＴＥＤ−Ｌｉから酸素発生剤（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨを再生する過程で酸素が発生するように記載されている。現在のところ、この方向の反応の際に酸素が発生することは直接的には検出できていない。しかし、酸素発生を仮定しない限りこの化学式の当量が合わなくなってしまうため、当然酸素が発生するものとして上記反応式を記述した。また、以下で説明する、水素発生剤の他の実施例として活性サイトを２個所有する分子を用いた場合の化学反応式においても、同じ理由で酸素が発生するように記述した。In the above reaction formula, it is described that oxygen is generated in the process of regenerating an oxygen generating agent (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH from TED-Li. At present, the evolution of oxygen during the reaction in this direction can not be detected directly. However, since the equivalent of this chemical formula would not match unless oxygen evolution was assumed, the above reaction formula was described as naturally oxygen evolved. In addition, in the chemical reaction formula in the case of using a molecule having two active sites as another example of the hydrogen generating agent described below, oxygen is described to be generated for the same reason.
ここで、上で説明した反応の機構を図１を参照して説明する。（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に水又は酸を添加すると、直ちにＬｉＯＨが外れてそこがＨ２Ｏに入れ替わることで、図１に示す（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−Ｈ２Ｏ複合体となる。つまり、上掲の化学反応式では左辺と右辺との間で起こるこの反応を省略してある。言い換えれば、水素発生反応は厳密には「ｐＨに依存してＬｉＯＨがＨ２Ｏに置換されることから開始される水素発生反応」ということになる。この置換される水分子（図１右端下寄り）はＬｉイオンに強く配位する。ここでＨ２Ｏ中のＯＨ結合は引き延ばされていて、水がＨδ＋とＯＨδ−とに強く分極していることを表す。更に、図１右端下寄りに斜めの楕円で囲まれているＬｉ＋と水分子中のＯＨ−との間の距離（１．９０３Å）は、ＣＯＯＬｉ中のＬｉとＯとの間の距離（１．９１５Å及び１．９３４Å）よりも短くなっているが、これはＴＴＦ部分の酸化の際にＬｉ−Ｏ結合の形成及び上記反応式に示したＬｉＯＨの脱離が容易に起こることを示唆している。これにより実際にＨ２が発生することは、実施例においてガスクロマトグラフを用いて検証した。また、これも実施例で説明しているが、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ及びＨＣｌの存在下で芳香族オレフィンがＰｄ／Ｃ触媒を用いて水素還元されることによってもＨ２が存在することが確認できた。Here, the mechanism of the reaction described above will be described with reference to FIG. When water or acid is added to the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex, LiOH is immediately released and it is replaced with H 2 O, as shown in FIG. 1 (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- It becomes H 2 O complex. That is, in the above chemical reaction formula, this reaction occurring between the left side and the right side is omitted. In other words, the hydrogen generation reaction is strictly referred to as “a hydrogen generation reaction initiated by the substitution of H 2 O for LiOH depending on pH”. The water molecule to be substituted (downward right end in FIG. 1) is strongly coordinated to the Li ion. Here, the OH bond in H 2 O is elongated, indicating that the water is strongly polarized to H δ + and OH δ − . Furthermore, the distance (1.903 Å) between Li + and OH − in the water molecule, which is surrounded by an oblique ellipse at the lower right end of FIG. 1, is the distance between Li and O in COOLi (1 Shorter than (.915 Å and 1.934 Å), suggesting that the formation of Li-O bond and the elimination of LiOH shown in the above reaction formula easily occur during the oxidation of TTF moiety. There is. It was verified using a gas chromatograph in the examples that H 2 was actually generated by this. Also, as described in the examples, H 2 can also be obtained by hydrogen reduction of aromatic olefins using Pd / C catalyst in the presence of (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH and HCl.

上に挙げた酸素発生剤の例である（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体では、図１を参照した説明からわかるように、この化合物分子の一端（図及び化学式の表記では右端）で上述した反応が起こり、１／２当量のＨ２が発生する（この反応が起こる化合物中の位置を以下では活性サイトと称する）。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、ＴＴＦ骨格の両端に夫々活性サイトを設けることで１分子当たり２つの活性サイトを有する構造の水素発生剤を与えることができる。このような水素発生剤及びその発生剤を使用した水素発生及び水素発生剤再生の反応サイクルの例を以下の化学反応式に示す。Hydrogen Generation by (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 Complex>
In the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex which is an example of the oxygen generating agent mentioned above, one end of the compound molecule (the right end in the notation of the figure and the chemical formula) as understood from the explanation referring to FIG. The reaction described above takes place and a half equivalent of H 2 is generated (the position in the compound at which this reaction takes place is hereinafter referred to as the active site). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and providing active sites at both ends of the TTF skeleton can provide a hydrogen generator having a structure having two active sites per molecule. An example of a reaction cycle of hydrogen generation and hydrogen generator regeneration using such a hydrogen generator and the generator is shown in the following chemical reaction formula.
本明細書及び特許請求の範囲において、反応式の左辺の複合体を、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体とも表記し、反応式の右辺の化合物をＴＥＤ−Ｙ（ただし、Ｙ＝Ｌｉ，Ｈ）と表記することがある点に留意されたい。上に示した反応については（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体についての説明がほぼそのまま適用され、これにより水素の発生及び当該水素は製剤の再生が起こる。ただし、（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体では活性サイトが２つ存在することから、溶液のｐＨを擬似中性〜酸性とすることによりＨ２が１当量発生し、またこの反応及び逆反応に伴って生成あるいは消費される水、酸、ＬｉＯＨの量も夫々２倍となる。また、溶液を酸性にするために投入された酸の量が（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体に対して２当量よりも多い場合には、活性サイトが１個の場合と同様に、ＴＴＦ骨格の両端あるいは一端においてＹ＝Ｈとなる。この場合には逆反応の際に余分のＬｉＯＨが必要とされる。In the present specification and claims, the complex on the left side of the reaction formula is also referred to as (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex, and the compound on the right side of the reaction formula is TED-Y (where Y is Note that it may be written as = Li, H). For the reactions shown above, the description for the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex applies essentially as it leads to the evolution of hydrogen and the regeneration of said hydrogen. However, since there are two active sites in the (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 complex, H 2 can be obtained by setting the pH of the solution to quasi-neutral to acidic. One equivalent is generated, and the amounts of water, acid and LiOH produced or consumed along with this reaction and reverse reaction are also doubled respectively. Also, if the amount of acid introduced to acidify the solution is greater than 2 equivalents relative to the (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 complex, As in the case of one active site, Y = H at both ends or one end of the TTF skeleton. In this case, extra LiOH is required in the reverse reaction.
このような活性サイトを２個有する水素発生剤の場合も、上に示す反応サイクルでは水素発生剤は実質的に消費されないので、同様に、理論的には水素発生剤の補充なしで反応サイクルを無制限に繰り返して水素発生を行うことができる。 Also in the case of a hydrogen generator having two such active sites, since the hydrogen generator is not substantially consumed in the above-described reaction cycle, the reaction cycle is theoretically theoretically also carried out without replenishment of the hydrogen generator. Hydrogen generation can be repeated indefinitely.
上で説明したように、本発明の水素発生剤は水から水素ガスの形で水素を取り出すことができる。これに加えて、本発明の水素発生剤の下で発生した水素を、水素の存在が必要な化学反応が行なわれる反応系に供給することができる。これを実現するためには、例えば水素が必要な反応系に本発明の水素発生剤を加える。反応系のｐＨによっては、許されれば、酸を添加する等のｐＨ調節処置を更に行ってもよい。これにより、当該反応系が擬似中性〜酸性の場合には水素発生剤によって水から得られた水素が水素を必要とする反応系に供給されることで、直接的には水素ガスを外部から供給することなく、所要の反応を進めることができる。 As explained above, the hydrogen generating agent of the present invention can extract hydrogen from water in the form of hydrogen gas. In addition to this, hydrogen generated under the hydrogen generating agent of the present invention can be supplied to a reaction system in which a chemical reaction requiring the presence of hydrogen is performed. In order to realize this, for example, the hydrogen generating agent of the present invention is added to a reaction system requiring hydrogen. Depending on the pH of the reaction system, if it is acceptable, pH adjustment treatment such as addition of an acid may be further performed. Thus, when the reaction system is pseudo-neutral to acidic, hydrogen obtained from water is supplied to the reaction system requiring hydrogen by the hydrogen generator, so that hydrogen gas is directly supplied from the outside. The required reaction can proceed without supply.
以下では本発明を実施例によりさらに詳細に説明するが、当然ながら、本発明は実施例に限定されるものではない。また、実施例の説明中で、上に示した反応が実際に起こっていることを示すデータも与える。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the examples. Also in the description of the examples, data are also given which indicate that the above-mentioned reactions are actually taking place.

(TTF) 2 (COOMe) 2 (200 mg, 0.403 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1, 4-dioxane) (400 ml), THF (20 ml), MeOH (20 ml), toluene (20 ml) and DMF (10 ml) The mixture was suspended in a mixture of 2) and then mixed with 2N aqueous LiOH solution (2.1 ml, 42 mmol). This was vigorously stirred at room temperature overnight and the precipitate was collected by membrane filter (H010A047A, ADVANTEC) and washed with deionized water (3 ml), MeOH (3 ml) and chloroform (3 ml). The remaining solid was dried in vacuo to give a dark red solid (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex (191.9 mg, 0.380 mmol, 94%). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d 6 ): δ 6.79 (s, 2 H); elemental analysis (C 12 H 3 Li 3 O 5 S 8 ): calculated value: C, 28.57; H, 0.60 , Found: C, 28.41; H, 0.92.
なお、ここで使用した（ＴＴＦ）２（ＣＯＯＭｅ）２は公知の物質であり、公知文献を参照することにより当業者が実施可能である。In addition, (TTF) 2 (COOMe) 2 used here is a known substance and can be practiced by those skilled in the art by referring to known literature.
［作製した（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体による水素発生］
０℃に冷却した（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して１当量の２Ｎの塩酸水溶液を０℃で添加した。その結果得られた約０℃の溶液のｐＨはほぼ９であった。これを軽く撹拌した。これにより発生したガスをガスクロマトグラフィーによって分析した。その結果を図２に示す。ここで、標準のＨ２／Ｎ２混合ガスに対する保持時間はＨ２については０．５０分、Ｎ２については１．５２分であった。なお、測定しなかったが、水素発生反応の進行により溶液のｐＨは変化したと考えられる。[Hydrogen evolution by prepared (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex]
One equivalent of 2 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was added at 0 ° C. to (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex cooled to 0 ° C. The pH of the resulting solution at about 0 ° C. was about 9. This was gently stirred. The gas evolved thereby was analyzed by gas chromatography. The results are shown in FIG. Here, the retention time for a standard H 2 / N 2 mixed gas was 0.50 minutes for H 2 and 1.52 minutes for N 2 . Although not measured, it is considered that the pH of the solution changed as the hydrogen generation reaction progressed.
図２から、この反応により、先に示した反応式の通り、水素が発生したことが確認できた。なお、図２には窒素のピークも現れているが、これは水の脱気に使用した窒素の残留分が検出されたものである。 From FIG. 2, it was confirmed that hydrogen was generated by this reaction as shown in the above-described reaction formula. In addition, although the peak of nitrogen also appeared in FIG. 2, the residual of the nitrogen used for deaeration of water was detected.
更に、この水素発生剤に酸ではなく水を添加した場合にも水素が発生することを確認するため、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して大過剰の水を０℃で添加した。これにより発生したガスをガスクロマトグラフィーによって分析した結果を図３に示す。同図に示す通り、この場合でも実際に水素が発生したことが確認された。この実験では水の脱気にアルゴンを使用したので、残留したアルゴンが水素とともに検出されている。Furthermore, in order to confirm that hydrogen is generated also when water instead of acid is added to this hydrogen generating agent, a large excess of water relative to the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex at 0 ° C. Was added. The results of gas chromatography analysis of the gas generated thereby are shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, it was also confirmed that hydrogen was actually generated in this case. Since argon was used to degas the water in this experiment, residual argon was detected along with hydrogen.
水素の発生を別の側面から検証するため、水素ガスの存在が必要な反応を、水素ガスを与える代わりに、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体と酸の存在下で行い、実際にその反応が起こるか否かを調べた。In order to verify the generation of hydrogen from another side, the reaction requiring the presence of hydrogen gas is carried out in the presence of (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex and an acid instead of giving hydrogen gas, It was investigated whether the reaction actually occurred.
具体的には、以下の反応式に示すように、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体とＨＣｌ水溶液（３ｅｑ．）及びＰｄ／Ｃをアリルベンゼンエーテル（１ｅｑ）に添加した。これにより、オレフィンの水素化反応が実際に進行した。なお、ここでは条件の最適化は行わなかった。この反応は通常、水素ガス雰囲気中で行わなければ進行しないが、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体の酸化により発生した水素を水素源としてオレフィンの水素化反応が進行した。この実験により、この水素発生剤は水素ガスを外部から導入することなく水素化試薬として機能することが示された。Specifically, as shown in the following reaction formula, (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex, an aqueous HCl solution (3 eq.) And Pd / C were added to allylbenzene ether (1 eq). Thus, the hydrogenation reaction of olefin actually proceeded. The optimization of the conditions was not performed here. Although this reaction usually does not proceed unless carried out in a hydrogen gas atmosphere, the hydrogenation reaction of olefin proceeds with the hydrogen generated by the oxidation of (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex as a hydrogen source. This experiment showed that this hydrogen generating agent functions as a hydrogenation reagent without introducing hydrogen gas from the outside.
更に、上記方法をベンゾキノン（ＢＱ）の水素化反応に適用する実験を行った。以下の反応式に示す通り、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨとＨＣｌ水溶液（３ｅｑ．）をベンゾキノンに添加したところ、実際に水素化反応が進行し、ハイドロキノン（ＨＱ）が生成した。これにより、上記同様、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体が塩酸溶液により酸化されて水素を発生したことが間接的に確認された。下式には、半等式に加えて、添加した（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨに対するベンゾキノンの当量が１及び５の場合のハイドロキノンの収率も示した。Furthermore, experiments were conducted to apply the above method to the hydrogenation reaction of benzoquinone (BQ). As shown in the following reaction formula, when (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH and an aqueous HCl solution (3 eq.) Were added to benzoquinone, a hydrogenation reaction actually proceeded to produce hydroquinone (HQ). Thereby, it was indirectly confirmed that the (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH complex was oxidized by the hydrochloric acid solution to generate hydrogen as described above. The following equation also shows the yield of hydroquinone when the equivalent of benzoquinone is 1 and 5 with respect to the added (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- LiOH in addition to the semi-equation.
また、先に示した式の通りの平衡反応が起こっていることを確認するため、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して段階的に塩酸水溶液を添加してｐＨを調製した際に発生した高酸化状態にある分子の割合をラジカル量として評価した。その結果を図４のグラフに示す。これはラジカル量のｐＨ依存性を示しており、具体的にはｐＨが１１以下になると、溶液中のラジカル量、すなわち高酸化状態の分子が急激に増加することがわかり、結局、このｐＨを境に平衡状態が上に示した反応式の右辺側に急激に移動する。なお、図４においてｐＨ＝１０付近から６．５付近の間にはデータ点が何もプロットされていない。これはプロットを省略しているわけではなく、１回の塩酸水溶液の添加によりｐＨが１０．５から６．２まで一気に変化したためである。Moreover, in order to confirm that the equilibrium reaction as shown in the above equation is occurring, pH is adjusted by adding aqueous hydrochloric acid stepwise to (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex The ratio of molecules in the high oxidation state generated at the time of reaction was evaluated as the amount of radicals. The results are shown in the graph of FIG. This indicates the pH dependence of the amount of radicals, specifically, it is understood that when the pH is 11 or less, the amount of radicals in the solution, that is, the molecule in the high oxidation state increases sharply, The equilibrium state rapidly moves to the right side of the reaction equation shown above. In FIG. 4, no data point is plotted between around pH = 10 and around 6.5. This is not because the plot is not omitted, but the pH changes rapidly from 10.5 to 6.2 by the addition of one aqueous hydrochloric acid solution.
次いで、この水素発生剤の反応継続性について調べた。具体的には、遮光下で、室温（２５℃）において、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体（４ｍｇ）に水（３００ｍＬ）を添加し、発生する水素ガスの量をガスクロマトグラフィーにより検出した。結果を図５に示す。Next, the reaction continuity of this hydrogen generating agent was examined. Specifically, water (300 mL) is added to (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex (4 mg) at room temperature (25 ° C.) under light shielding, and the amount of hydrogen gas generated is determined by gas chromatography. Detected by graphy. The results are shown in FIG.
図５は、（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨ複合体に対して水を室温で添加した際に発生した水素ガスの量と反応日数との関係を示す図である。FIG. 5 is a view showing the relationship between the amount of hydrogen gas generated when water is added to a (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH complex at room temperature and the number of reaction days.
図５において、横軸は反応日数（日）を、縦軸は水素ガスの検出強度（Ｖ）を示す。なお、反応３日目の水素ガスの検出強度が約０．８（Ｖ）から０（Ｖ）まで低下しているが、これは、外部から混入したガス（酸素ガス等）を取り除くため、反応３日目に反応で発生したガスを留去したためである。図５に示すように、ガスの留去を考慮しても、反応時間が長くなるにつれて（反応日数の増大に応じて）、水素ガスの検出強度（水素ガスの発生量）は漸次増大することが分かった。このことから、本発明の水素発生剤は、反応継続性に優れており、長期間（例えば、１５日以上）の使用でも、その水素発生能を維持することが示された。 In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis indicates the number of days of reaction (days), and the vertical axis indicates the detected intensity (V) of hydrogen gas. The detected intensity of hydrogen gas on the third day of the reaction decreased from about 0.8 (V) to 0 (V), but this is because the reaction (oxygen gas etc.) mixed from the outside is removed, so the reaction This is because the gas generated in the reaction on the third day was distilled off. As shown in FIG. 5, even if the distillation of gas is taken into consideration, the detection strength of hydrogen gas (the amount of generated hydrogen gas) gradually increases as the reaction time becomes longer (in accordance with the increase in the number of days of reaction). I understand. From this, it was shown that the hydrogen generating agent of the present invention is excellent in reaction continuity, and maintains its hydrogen generating ability even when used for a long time (for example, 15 days or more).
実施例において一部の水素発生の実験を０℃で行っているが、これについて説明しておく。水素発生を０℃で行った実験でも、温度を室温として他の条件は同じとしても水素発生反応自体は問題なく進行した。ただし、０℃で反応させた方が逆反応（発生した水素が高酸化状態の水素発生剤によって系中に残存する酸素と反応して再び水に戻る反応）が進行しにくい傾向が見られた。この点を考慮し、検出される水素の正味発生量を多くするために、一部の実験を０℃で行った。 In the examples, some hydrogen generation experiments are conducted at 0 ° C., which will be described. Even in the experiment in which hydrogen generation was performed at 0 ° C., the hydrogen generation reaction itself proceeded without any problem even if the temperature was room temperature and other conditions were the same. However, there was a tendency that it was difficult for the reverse reaction (the generated hydrogen to react with the oxygen remaining in the system by the highly oxidized hydrogen generator and return to water again) when it was made to react at 0 ° C. . Taking this into consideration, some experiments were conducted at 0 ° C. to increase the net amount of hydrogen detected.
＜（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体を用いた水素発生剤＞
この水素発生剤も先に説明した（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−ＬｉＯＨとほぼ同じ特性を示すので、上で行った各種の実験に対応する結果を一々説明はしないが、（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体に対して大過剰の水を添加して室温状態で発生したガスのガスクロマトグラフィーによる分析結果を図６に示す。これに対応する図３と同様、（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２（ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ−ＴＴＦ）（ＣＯＯＬｉ）２−（ＬｉＯＨ）２複合体の場合も大量の水の添加によるｐＨ調節によって水素が発生することを確認できた。Hydrogen Generator Using <(COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 Complex>
Since this hydrogen generating agent also exhibits substantially the same characteristics as (TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2 -LiOH described above, the results corresponding to the various experiments conducted above are not described one by one, but (COOLi) 2 The analysis result by gas chromatography of the gas generated at room temperature by adding a large excess of water to the (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 complex is shown in FIG. As in the case of FIG. 3 corresponding to this, it is confirmed that hydrogen is generated by pH control by addition of a large amount of water also in the case of (COOLi) 2 (TTF-TTF-TTF) (COOLi) 2- (LiOH) 2 complex did it.
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、従来にない新規な機構で水素を発生することができ、またｐＨを変化させることで、水素発生剤の追加なしで無制限の回数繰り返して水素を発生させることができるようになる。また、単に水素ガスを外部に取り出すだけではなく、水素を必要とする反応に対して、外部からの水素供給に代えて本発明の水素発生材料を使用することによって水素を供給する等も可能となる。従って、本発明は産業上広範な分野での利用が期待される。 As described above, according to the present invention, hydrogen can be generated by an unprecedented new mechanism, and by changing the pH, hydrogen can be generated an unlimited number of times without adding a hydrogen generating agent. Will be able to In addition to simply taking out hydrogen gas to the outside, it is also possible to supply hydrogen by using the hydrogen generation material of the present invention instead of the hydrogen supply from the outside for reactions requiring hydrogen. Become. Therefore, the present invention is expected to be used in a wide range of industrial fields.
