Ligand participation in the reduction of CO2 catalyzed by complexes of 1,10 o-phenanthroline

An Unexpected Iron (II)-Based Homogeneous Catalytic System for Highly Efficient CO2-to-CO Conversion under Visible-Light Irradiation

“…After CO 2 bubbling to the system, two irreversible reduction waves underwent slight negatively shifts from −1.05 and −1.21 V to −1.08 and −1.32 V, respectively. There was a remarkable current enhancement for the latter, consistent with the electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction (Figure S3) [41,42].…”

The pentafluoroxenate(IV) anion, XeF5-: the first example of a pentagonal planar AX5 species

“…Typically 10000 transients were accumulated. The pulse width corresponding to a bulk magnetization tip angle, $, of approximately 90" was equal to 18 ms. Line-broadening parameters of 4 Hz were applied in the exponential multiplication of the free induction decays prior to Fourier transformation. The l9F and l29Xe NMR spectra were referenced to neat external samples of CFCI3 and XeOF4, respectively, at ambient temperature.…”

From non-innocent to guilty: on the role of redox-active ligands in the electro-assisted reduction of CO2 mediated by a cobalt(ii)-polypyridyl complex

“…The relevance of cobalt polypyridyl complexes for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 was rst evidenced with the use of [Co(phen) 3 ] 2+ by Durand and co-worker in 1988. 30 Further investigations have led to the development of a range of bistriimine complexes capable to electro-assist the reduction of CO 2 to generate mixtures of C1-products whose selectivity can be preferentially oriented towards HCOOH or CO. [31][32][33] More recently, tetradentate platforms have been developed and allowed good selectivity towards formation of carbon monoxide to be reached. 21,[34][35][36][37] These encouraging results have stimulated the development of heterogenization strategies, either by their attachment onto transparent conducting oxide and carbonaceous materials (graphene and carbon nanotubes, typically) or by integrating them into polymer chains.…”
