Abstract

We report the application of surface-active ionic liquids as ligands and optional reaction media in iridium-catalyzed water oxidations. Three novel catalysts with N,N-dialkylimidazolidin-2-ylidene ligands based on amphiphilic imidazolium ionic liquids were synthesized and characterized. Excellent turn-over frequencies of up to 0.92 s−1 were obtained in catalytic water splitting, and activity was maintained for five consecutive catalytic cycles, with an overall turn-over number of 8967. The addition of external surface-active ionic liquid showed unexpected behaviour, because strongly enhanced initial reaction rates were observed.
