چکیده
Electrocatalytic reduction of CO(2) by [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(solvent)](2+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and its structural analogs is initiated by sequential 1e(-) reductions at the tpy and bpy ligands followed by rate limiting CO(2) addition to give a metallocarboxylate intermediate. It undergoes further reduction and loss of CO.

Mechanistic insights into electrocatalytic CO2 reduction within [Ru(II)(tpy)(NN)X]n+ architectures.
A series of Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes of the design [Ru(II)(tpy)(NN)X](n+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine; NN = bidentate polypyridine; X = Cl(-) or CH3CN; n = 1 or 2) have been synthesized and analyzed for their ability to function as electrocatalysts in the reduction of CO2 to CO. Varying the electron-donating/withdrawing character of the NN polypyridyl ligand has allowed for modification ...
متن کاملComputational and experimental study on the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by a new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex.
A new mononuclear ruthenium(ii) complex, trans-[Ru(dmb)2(Cl)(EtOH)](PF6) (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination. The complex was studied as a precatalyst for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO in an acetonitrile solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The ca...
متن کاملMECHANISM PATHWAY FOR THE ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF CO2 BY [Mn(bipyridyl)(CO)3X] DERIVATIVE
For more than a century human activities have caused an increase in air pollutants inducing an excess of greenhouse gases. In addition, the depletion and rising costs of fossil fuels, due to the increase in energy demand driven by global growth, leads to the search for alternative raw carbon sources. In this particular context, the transformation and utilization of carbon dioxide is today under...
متن کاملConstruction of Ru(II) Polypyridyl Based Macrocycles: Synthesis, Characterization, Electrochemical, Li+ Binding, Antitumour and Anti-HIV properties
Some ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes with a bis-chalcone (obtained by the condensation of 3-methyl-thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde and 4-acetyl pyridine) have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically (IR, NMR, UV/Vis), conductimetric, elemental analysis and FAB mass data. Their luminescent, redox and Li(+) binding properties have been studied. The anti-HIV and antitumour activities ...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic generation of H2 from neutral water in acetonitrile using manganese polypyridyl complexes with ligand assistance.
A Mn(i) tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine complex fac-[Mn(κ3-tpa) (CO)3]+OTf- carries out electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from neutral water in acetonitrile. Bulk electrocatalytic studies showed that the catalyst functions with a moderate Faradaic efficiency and turn over frequency. DFT computations support the role of the tpa ligand as a shuttle to transfer of protons to the metal center.
