Abstract
Electrocatalysis is a promising tool for utilizing carbon dioxide as a feedstock in the chemical industry. However, controlling the selectivity for different CO2 reduction products remains a major challenge. We report a series of manganese carbonyl complexes with elaborated bipyridine or phenanthroline ligands that can reduce CO2 to either formic acid, if the ligand structure contains strategically positioned tertiary amines, or CO, if the amine groups are absent in the ligand or are placed far from the metal center. The amine-modified complexes are benchmarked to be among the most active catalysts for reducing CO2 to formic acid, with a maximum turnover frequency of up to 5500 s-1 at an overpotential of 630 mV. The conversion even works at overpotentials as low as 300 mV, although through an alternative mechanism. Mechanistically, the formation of a Mn-hydride species aided by in situ protonated amine groups was determined to be a key intermediate by cyclic voltammetry, 1H NMR, DFT calculations, and infrared spectroelectrochemistry.

Abstract
Heterogenization of homogenous catalysts on electrode surfaces provides a valuable approach for characterization of catalytic processes in operando conditions using surface selective spectroelectrochemistry methods. Ligand design plays a central role in the attachment mode and the resulting functionality of the heterogenized catalyst as determined by the orientation of the catalyst relative to the surface and the nature of specific interactions that modulate the redox properties under the heterogeneous electrode conditions. Here, we introduce new [Re(L)(CO)3Cl] catalysts for CO2 reduction with sulfur-based anchoring groups on a bipyridyl ligand, where L = 3,3′-disulfide-2,2′-bipyridine (SSbpy) and 3,3′-thio-2,2′-bipyridine (Sbpy). Spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis complemented by computational modeling at the density functional theory level identify the complex [Re(SSbpy)(CO)3Cl] as a multi-electron acceptor that combines the redox properties of both the rhenium tricarbonyl core and the disulfide functional group on the bipyridyl ligand. The first reduction at −0.85 V (vs. SCE) involves a two-electron process that breaks the disulfide bond, activating it for surface attachment. The heterogenized complex exhibits robust anchoring on gold surfaces, as probed by vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The binding configuration is normal to the surface, exposing the active site to the CO2 substrate in solution. The attachment mode is thus particularly suitable for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Manganese tricarbonyl complexes are promising catalysts for CO2 reduction, but complexes in this family are often photosensitive and decompose rapidly upon exposure to visible light. In this report, synthetic and photochemical studies probe the initial steps of light-driven speciation for Mn(CO)3(Rbpy)Br complexes bearing a range of 4,4'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands (Rbpy, where R = tBu, H, CF3, NO2). Transient absorption spectroscopy measurements for Mn(CO)3(Rbpy)Br coordination compounds with R = tBu, H, and CF3 in acetonitrile reveal ultrafast loss of a CO ligand on the femtosecond time scale, followed by solvent coordination on the picosecond time scale. The Mn(CO)3(NO2bpy)Br complex is unique among the four compounds in having a longer-lived excited state that does not undergo CO release or subsequent solvent coordination. The kinetics of photolysis and solvent coordination for light-sensitive complexes depend on the electronic properties of the disubstituted bipyridyl ligand. The results indicate that both metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) and dissociative ligand-field (d-d) excited states play a role in the ultrafast photochemistry. Taken together, the findings suggest that more robust catalysts could be prepared with appropriately designed complexes that avoid crossing between the excited states that drive photochemical CO loss.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multicarbon products is a significant challenge, especially for molecular complexes. We report here CO2 reduction to multicarbon products based on a Ru(II) polypyridyl carbene complex that is immobilized on an N-doped porous carbon (RuPC/NPC) electrode. The catalyst utilizes the synergistic effects of the Ru(II) polypyridyl carbene complex and the NPC interface to steer CO2 reduction toward C2 production at low overpotentials. In 0.5 M KHCO3/CO2 aqueous solutions, Faradaic efficiencies of 31.0 to 38.4% have been obtained for C2 production at -0.87 to -1.07 V (vs. normal hydrogen electrode) with 21.0 to 27.5% for ethanol and 7.1 to 12.5% for acetate. Syngas is also produced with adjustable H2/CO mole ratios of 2.0 to 2.9. The RuPC/NPC electrocatalyst maintains its activity during 3-h CO2-reduction periods.

Abstract
We report the enhancement of photocatalytic performance by introduction of hydrogen-bonding interactions to a Re bipyridine catalyst and Ru photosensitizer system (ReDAC/RuDAC) by the addition of amide substituents, with carbon monoxide (CO) and carbonate/bicarbonate as products. This system demonstrates a more-than-3-fold increase in turnover number (TONCO = 100 ± 4) and quantum yield (ΦCO = 23.3 ± 0.8%) for CO formation compared to the control system using unsubstituted Ru photosensitizer (RuBPY) and ReDAC (TONCO = 28 ± 4 and ΦCO = 7 ± 1%) in acetonitrile (MeCN) with 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BIH) as sacrificial reductant. In dimethylformamide (DMF), a solvent that disrupts hydrogen bonds, the ReDAC/RuDAC system showed a decrease in catalytic performance while the control system exhibited an increase, indicating the role of hydrogen bonding in enhancing the photocatalysis for CO2 reduction through supramolecular assembly. The similar properties of RuDAC and RuBPY demonstrated in lifetime measurements, spectroscopic analysis, and electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies revealed that the enhancement in photocatalysis is due not to differences in intrinsic properties of the catalyst or photosensitizer, but to hydrogen-bonding interactions between them.

Abstract
Processes for the conversion of CO2 to valuable chemicals are highly desired as a result of the increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere and the subsequent elevating global temperature. However, CO2 is thermodynamically and kinetically inert to transformation and, therefore, many efforts were made in the last few decades. Reformation/hydrogenation of CO2 is widely used as a means to access valuable products such as acetic acids, CH4, CH3OH, and CO. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 using hetero- and homogeneous catalysts recently attracted much attention. In particular, molecular CO2 reduction catalysts were widely studied using transition-metal complexes modified with various ligands to understand the relationship between various catalytic properties and the coordination spheres above the metal centers. Concurrently, the coupling of CO2 with various electrophiles under homogeneous conditions is also considered an important approach for recycling CO2 as a renewable C-1 substrate in the chemical industry. This review summarizes some recent advances in the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals with particular focus on the metal-catalyzed reductive conversion and functionalization of CO2.

Abstract
The generation of fuels and value-added chemicals from carbon dioxide (CO2) using electrocatalysis is a promising approach to the eventual large-scale utilization of intermittent renewable energy sources. To mediate kinetically and thermodynamically challenging transformations of CO2, early reports of molecular catalysts focused primarily on precious metal centers. However, through careful ligand design, earth-abundant first-row transition metals have also demonstrated activity and selectivity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. A particularly effective and promising approach for enhancement of reaction rates and efficiencies of molecular electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction is the modulation of the secondary coordination sphere of the active site. In practice, this has been achieved through the mimicry of enzyme structures: incorporating pendent Brønsted acid/base sites, charged residues, sterically hindered environments, and bimetallic active sites have all proved to be valid strategies for iterative optimization. Herein, the development of secondary-sphere strategies to facilitate rapid and selective CO2 reduction is reviewed with an in-depth examination of the classic [Fe(tetraphenylporphyrin)]+, [Ni(cyclam)]2+, Mn(bpy)(CO)3X, and Re(bpy)(CO)3X (X = solvent or halide) systems, including relevant highlights from other recently developed ligand platforms.

Abstract
The photochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid catalyzed by a series of [Rh(4,4'-R-bpy)(Cp*)Cl]+ and [Rh(5,5'-COOH-bpy)(Cp*)Cl]+ complexes (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and R = OCH3, CH3, H, COOC2H5, CF3, NH2, or COOH) was studied to assess how modifications in the electronic structure of the catalyst affect its selectivity, defined as the HCOOH:H2 product ratio. A direct molecular-level influence of the functional group on the initial reaction rate for CO2 versus proton reduction reactions was established. Density functional theory computations elucidated for the first time the respective role of the [RhH] and [Cp*H] tautomers, recognizing rhodium hydride as the key player for both reactions. In particular, our calculations explain the observed tendency of electron-donating substituents to favor CO2 reduction by means of decreasing the hydricity of the Rh-H bond, resulting in a lower hydride transfer barrier toward formic acid production as compared to substituents with an electron-withdrawing nature that favor more strongly the reduction of protons to hydrogen.

Abstract
A comprehensive mechanistic study of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction by ruthenium 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy) pyridyl-carbene catalysts reveals the importance of stereochemical control to locate the strongly donating N-heterocyclic carbene ligand trans to the site of CO2 activation. Computational studies were undertaken to predict the most stable isomer for a range of reasonable intermediates in CO2 reduction, suggesting that the ligand trans to the reaction site plays a key role in dictating the energetic profile of the catalytic reaction. A new isomer of [Ru(tpy)(Mebim-py)(NCCH3)]2+ (Mebim-py is 1-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene-3-(2'-pyridine)) and both isomers of the catalytic intermediate [Ru(tpy)(Mebim-py)(CO)]2+ were synthesized and characterized. Experimental studies demonstrate that both isomeric precatalysts facilitate electroreduction of CO2 to CO in 95/5 MeCN/H2O with high activity and high selectivity. Cyclic voltammetry, infrared spectroelectrochemistry, and NMR spectroscopy studies provide a detailed mechanistic picture demonstrating an essential isomerization step in which the N-trans catalyst converts in situ to the C-trans variant. Insight into molecular electrocatalyst design principles emerge from this study. First, the use of an asymmetric ligand that places a strongly electron-donating ligand trans to the site of CO2 binding and activation is critical to high activity. Second, stereochemical control to maintain the desired isomer structure during catalysis is critical to performance. Finally, pairing the strongly donating pyridyl-carbene ligand with the redox-active tpy ligand proves to be useful in boosting activity without sacrificing overpotential. These design principles are considered in the context of surface-immobilized electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Here, the reduction chemistry of mono- and binuclear α-diimine-Re(CO)3 complexes with proton responsive ligands and their application in the electrochemically-driven CO2 reduction catalysis are presented. The work was aimed to investigate the impact of 1) two metal ions in close proximity and 2) an internal proton source on catalysis. Therefore, three different Re complexes, a binuclear one with a central phenol unit, 3, and two mononuclear, one having a central phenol unit, 1, and one with a methoxy unit, 2, were utilised. All complexes are active in the CO2 -to-CO conversion and CO is always the major product. The catalytic rate constant kcat for all three complexes is much higher and the overpotential is lower in DMF/water mixtures than in pure DMF (DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies in the absence of substrate revealed that this is due to an accelerated chloride ion loss after initial reduction in DMF/water mixtures in comparison to pure DMF. Chloride ion loss is necessary for subsequent CO2 binding and this step is around ten times faster in the presence of water [2: kCl (DMF)≈1.7 s-1 ; kCl (DMF/H2 O)≈20 s-1 ]. The binuclear complex 3 with a proton responsive phenol unit is more active than the mononuclear complexes. In the presence of water, the observed rate constant kobs for 3 is four times higher than of 2, in the absence of water even ten times. Thus, the two metal centres are beneficial for catalysis. Lastly, the investigation showed that the phenol unit has no impact on the rate of the catalysis, it even slows down the CO2 -to-CO conversion. This is due to an unproductive, competitive side reaction: After initial reduction, 1 and 3 loose either Cl- or undergo a reductive OH deprotonation forming a phenolate unit. The phenolate could bind to the metal centre blocking the sixth coordination site for CO2 activation. In DMF, O-H bond breaking and Cl- ion loss have similar rate constants [1: kCl (DMF)≈2 s-1 , kOH ≈1.5 s-1 ], in water/DMF Cl- loss is much faster. Thus, the effect on the catalytic rate is more pronounced in DMF. However, the acidic protons lower the overpotential of the catalysis by about 150 mV.

Abstract
We describe here the preparation and characterization of a photocathode assembly for CO2 reduction to CO in 0.1 M LiClO4 acetonitrile.
We describe here the preparation and characterization of a photocathode assembly for CO2 reduction to CO in 0.1 M LiClO4 acetonitrile. The assembly was formed on 1.0 μm thick mesoporous films of NiO using a layer-by-layer procedure based on Zr(iv)–phosphonate bridging units. The structure of the Zr(iv) bridged assembly, abbreviated as NiO|-DA-RuCP22+-Re(i), where DA is the dianiline-based electron donor (N,N,N′,N′-((CH2)3PO3H2)4-4,4′-dianiline), RuCP2+ is the light absorber [Ru((4,4′-(PO3H2CH2)2-2,2′-bipyridine)(2,2′-bipyridine))2]2+, and Re(i) is the CO2 reduction catalyst, ReI((4,4′-PO3H2CH2)2-2,2′-bipyridine)(CO)3Cl. Visible light excitation of the assembly in CO2 saturated solution resulted in CO2 reduction to CO. A steady-state photocurrent density of 65 μA cm–2 was achieved under one sun illumination and an IPCE value of 1.9% was obtained with 450 nm illumination. The importance of the DA aniline donor in the assembly as an initial site for reduction of the RuCP2+ excited state was demonstrated by an 8 times higher photocurrent generated with DA present in the surface film compared to a control without DA. Nanosecond transient absorption measurements showed that the expected reduced one-electron intermediate, RuCP+, was formed on a sub-nanosecond time scale with back electron transfer to the electrode on the microsecond timescale which competes with forward electron transfer to the Re(i) catalyst at t1/2 = 2.6 μs (kET = 2.7 × 105 s–1).

Abstract
Herein, the mechanisms of Brønsted acid- and Lewis acid-assisted CO2 electroreduction by Mn(mesbpy)(CO)3Br (1) were investigated by density functional theory calculations. Our results indicate that for the Lewis acid-assisted cycle, an energy sink (13) is present owing to the interaction between Mg(OTf)2 and activated CO2, which is disadvantageous to the apparent activation energy (ΔG≠). Moreover, a series of substituted 13 counterparts were investigated to reduce the energy sink and decrease ΔG≠. Based on our study on the substituent effect, an excellent linear relationship was found between 2e reduction potentials and LUMO energies of substituted 1, and a moderate linear relationship was observed between ΔG of substituted 13 and the 2e reduction potential of substituted 1 counterparts. Moreover, for the CO2 reduction assisted by a Lewis acid, the formyl-substituted complex R8 has been predicted to be a more effective catalyst with lower overpotential and higher catalytic activity than its parent complex 1.

Abstract
The reduction of CO2 into higher energy products such as carbon-based fuels and feedstocks is an attractive strategy for mitigating the continuous rise in CO2 emissions associated with the growing global energy demand. Rhenium tricarbonyl complexes bearing 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bpy) ligands are well-established molecular electrocatalysts for the selective reduction of CO2 to CO. Construction of efficient devices for this electrochemical process requires the immobilization of electrocatalysts to electrode surfaces. To integrate Re(2,2'-bpy)(CO)3 fragments into a covalent organic framework (COF), Re(5,5'-diamine-2,2'-bpy)(CO)3Cl (1) was synthesized and electrochemically investigated. Complex 1 is an active and selective electrocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 to CO with excellent faradaic efficiency (99%). The presence of the amine substituents leads to a destabilization of the π* orbital of the 5,5'-diamine-2,2'-bpy ligand with respect to the metal center. Therefore, 1 requires more negative potentials (-2.47 V vs. Fc+/0) to reach the doubly reduced catalytically active species. DFT studies were conducted to understand the electronic structure of 1, and support the destabilizing effect of the amine substituents. The Re-2,2'-bpy fragments were successfully integrated into a COF containing 2,2'-bpy moieties (COF-2,2'-bpy) via a post-metallation synthetic route to generate COF-2,2'-bpy-Re. A composite of COF-2,2'-bpy-Re, carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was readily immobilized onto glassy carbon electrodes and electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO was observed at -2.8 V vs. Fc0/+, with a faradaic efficiency of 81% for CO production.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels has attracted increasing attention, providing a promising route for mitigating the greenhouse effect of CO2 and also meeting the global energy demand. Among many homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction, this mini-review is focused on heme and nonheme metal complexes that act as effective catalysts for the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Because metalloporphyrinoids show strong absorption in the visible region, which is sensitive to the oxidation states of the metals and ligands, they are suited for the detection of reactive intermediates in the catalytic CO2 reduction cycle by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The first part of this review deals with the catalytic mechanism for the one-electron reduction of CO2 to oxalic acid with heme and nonheme metal complexes, with an emphasis on how the formation of highly energetic CO2˙ is avoided. Then, the catalytic mechanism of two-electron reduction of CO2 to produce CO and H2O is compared with that to produce HCOOH. The effect of metals and ligands of the heme and nonheme complexes on the CO or HCOOH product selectivity is also discussed. The catalytic mechanisms of multi-electron reduction of CO2 to methanol (six-electron reduced product) and methane (eight-electron reduced product) are also discussed for both electrocatalytic and photocatalytic systems.
