Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction with nickel complexes supported by tunable bipyridyl-N-heterocyclic carbene donors: understanding redox-active macrocycles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of nickel complexes featuring redox-active macrocycles is reported for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. A remarkable structure-activity relationship is elucidated from the series through electrochemical studies and DFT calculations, wherein a fine electronic balance between metal and ligand redox chemistry dictates selectivity for CO2 reduction versus the competing proton reduction reaction.

Visible-light photoredox catalysis: selective reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide by a nickel N-heterocyclic carbene-isoquinoline complex.
The solar-driven reduction of carbon dioxide to value-added chemical fuels is a longstanding challenge in the fields of catalysis, energy science, and green chemistry. In order to develop effective CO2 fixation, several key considerations must be balanced, including (1) catalyst selectivity for promoting CO2 reduction over competing hydrogen generation from proton reduction, (2) visible-light h...
متن کاملMain-chain organometallic polymers comprising redox-active iron(II) centers connected by ditopic N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Main-chain organometallic polymers were synthesized from bimetallic iron(ii) complexes containing a ditopic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand [(cp)(CO)LFe(NHC approximately NHC)Fe(cp)(CO)L]X(2) (where NHC approximately NHC represents a bridging dicarbene ligand, L = I(-) or CO). Addition of a diimine ligand such as pyrazine or 4,4'-bipyridine, interconnected these bimetallic complexes and gav...

متن کاملCopolymerization of cyclohexene oxide with CO2 catalyzed by tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene titanium(IV) complexes.
A new class of complexes based on titanium(IV) bearing a bisanionic mer-tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand were investigated for the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide with CO2. Upon addition of [PPN]X' salts, all complexes were found to be active and highly selective toward the formation of poly(cyclohexene oxide-alt-carbon dioxide).
