Abstract

Indole derivatives are considered as promising liquid organic hydrogen carriers for renewable energy storage. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption, and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, we investigated low-temperature adsorption and dehydrogenation during heating of indole, indoline, and octahydroindole on Pt(111). For all three molecules, we find deprotonation of the NH bond above 270 K, accompanied with dehydrogenation of indoline and octahydroindole via an indole intermediate, resulting in an indolide species above 300 K. For octahydroindole, we also find a side reaction yielding small amounts of a pi-allyl species between 170 and 450 K. Above 450 K, decomposition of the remaining indolide species takes place.
