As a material system with precise structural information, the chemical bonding, spatial structure and interaction of coordination molecular clusters at the atomic and molecular levels not only help to understand the structure-activity relationship of materials, but also hopefully direct their specific functions. Design and improvement. More and more chemists are devoted to the pursuit of novel structure design and rich performance of coordination molecular clusters, which has promoted the rapid development of coordination molecular clusters in the field of coordination chemistry. However, how to fully combine the advantages of coordination molecular clusters in structural design, further expand its functionalization and derivatization within the scope of interdisciplinary, and develop its functional design and application expansion in frontier fields on this basis is still current Scientific problems that need to be solved urgently. In this thesis, a cubane nickel cluster with the "M4L3" configuration was synthesized by designing an o-vanillin Schiff base ligand, and combining its solid-liquid structure information to explore the stability of the cluster, and to explore its electrocatalytic production. The application of oxygen and electrocatalytic urea oxidation, and finally the electrocatalytic reaction mechanism was explored through theoretical calculations; a series of cobalt-based and cobalt-nickel doped clusters based on cubane structural units were constructed, through X-ray diffraction and electrospray The combined method of mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) explored its solid-liquid structure information and expanded its application in electrocatalytic oxygen production and electrocatalytic urea oxidation. The full text is divided into three chapters: The <br>first chapter is the introduction, which summarizes the material system research background and scientific challenges of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Secondly, the current coordination molecules are analyzed.

Through the combination of electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and X-ray single crystal diffraction, the structural characteristics of compound 1 have been studied by using its solid-liquid structure information. The stability, easy-to-leave coordination solvent molecules can fully expose the active sites to ensure the high catalytic activity of the catalyst. At the same time, the catalyzed sample compound 2 and compound 3 of compound 1 under different catalytic conditions were obtained by recrystallization. A series of characterizations proved that the cubane core of sample 1 did not change before and after the catalysis, and only the coordination solvent was replaced. It confirms our inference of structural information. In addition, compound 1 can be used as an effective OER and UOR catalyst. In a 1.0 M KOH electrolyte solution, the Ni4 sample achieves an overpotential of 320 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, when in a 1 M KOH+0.33M solution The high-efficiency UOR activity is shown in, the overpotential corresponding to 10 mA cm-2 is only 1.337 V, and the maximum current density is 310 mA cm-2. The catalytic performance of UOR is better than most catalysts that have been reported, and within 20 hours High stability is maintained inside. Finally, based on the DFT calculation results, the unit-site catalytic mechanism of the OER and UOR reactions is proposed, which not only ensures high catalytic efficiency, but also avoids the structural damage and deactivation of the catalyst. As far as we know, Ni4 is the first coordinating molecular cluster-based bifunctional electrocatalyst with both high-efficiency OER and UOR activity. We have achieved a win-win situation between stability and catalytic activity, and pioneered the preparation of single-site catalysts. The new strategy is expected to contribute to the development of new efficient and stable molecular cluster catalysts in the future.<br>Chapter 3 introduces the in-situ generation of Schiff base ligands based on 3-methoxy salicylaldehyde and 3-amino-1, 2-propanediol and the synthesis of two coordination molecules with cubane or vacant cubane configuration.
