Abstract
Iron porphyrin and carbon black (CB) were utilized to fabricate an iron-nitrogen doped carbon (Fe-N-C) catalyst to create a new heterogeneous catalytic system with CdS to drive CO2 reduction to CO under UV/vis light (AM 1.5G) irradiation. The system delivers a high CO production yield of 111 mmol gcat-1 and a large turnover number (TON) of 1.22 × 103 in 8 h with a selectivity of 85%, all of which are competitive with state-of-the-art systems. The mechanism of the system was investigated by experimental and theoretical methods indicating that the high affinity between the iron active center and the *COOH intermediate facilitates the brilliant catalytic performance. This work provides a new direction for constructing heterogeneous CO2 photoreduction systems.

Abstract
Li-CO2 batteries have attracted worldwide attention because of their dual characteristics of high energy density and effective CO2 capture. However, the basic electrochemistry mechanism involved has been unclear, which is mainly confused by the complicated decomposition of organic electrolytes. Herein, water-in-salt (WIS, LiTFSI/H2O 21.0 mol/1 kg) has been explored as a suitable electrolyte for the first time to investigate the reaction mechanism of Li-CO2 batteries with different cathodes (carbon nanotube (CNT) and Mo2C/CNT, respectively). An Mo2C-based Li-CO2 battery with WIS delivers a higher energy efficiency of 83% and a superior cyclability, compared to those of the CNT-based counterpart cell. Through various ex/in situ qualitative/quantitative characterizations, the Mo2C-based Li-CO2 battery with WIS can operate on the reversible conversion of CO2-to-Li2C2O4 ((e-/CO2)ideal = 1) at lower discharge/charge overpotentials, while the CNT-based counterpart cell is based on the formation/decomposition of Li2CO3 ((e-/CO2)ideal ≈ 1.33) at high overpotentials. Such a difference in CO2 reduction products stems from the stronger interaction between Mo2C(101) and Li2C2O4 than that of the CNT and Li2C2O4 based on the density functional theory calculations, resulting in the selective stabilization of the intermediate product Li2C2O4 on the Mo2C surface.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising candidates to catalyze electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) due to maximized atomic utilization. However, products are usually limited to CO instead of hydrocarbons or oxygenates due to unfavorable high energy barrier for further electron transfer on synthesized single atom catalytic sites. Here we report a novel partial-carbonization strategy to modify the electronic structures of center atoms on SACs for lowering the overall endothermic energy of key intermediates. A carbon-dots-based SAC margined with unique CuN2O2 sites was synthesized for the first time. The introduction of oxygen ligands brings remarkably high Faradaic efficiency (78%) and selectivity (99% of ECR products) for electrochemical converting CO2 to CH4 with current density of 40 mA·cm-2 in aqueous electrolytes, surpassing most reported SACs which stop at two-electron reduction. Theoretical calculations further revealed that the high selectivity and activity on CuN2O2 active sites are due to the proper elevated CH4 and H2 energy barrier and fine-tuned electronic structure of Cu active sites. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising candidates to catalyze CO2 reduction for the formation of high value hydrocarbons but most of the reactions yield CO. Here, the authors show a low-temperature calcining process to fabricate a carbon-dots-based SAC to efficiently convert CO2 to methane.

Abstract
A series of molecular Mn catalysts featuring aniline groups in the second-coordination sphere has been developed for electrochemical and photochemical CO2 reduction. The arylamine moieties were installed at the 6 position of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) to generate a family of isomers in which the primary amine is located at the ortho- (1-Mn), meta- (2-Mn), or para-site (3-Mn) of the aniline ring. The proximity of the second-sphere functionality to the active site is a critical factor in determining catalytic performance. Catalyst 1-Mn, possessing the shortest distance between the amine and the active site, significantly outperformed the rest of the series and exhibited a 9-fold improvement in turnover frequency relative to parent catalyst Mn(bpy)(CO)3 Br (901 vs. 102 s-1 , respectively) at 150 mV lower overpotential. The electrocatalysts operated with high faradaic efficiencies (≥70 %) for CO evolution using trifluoroethanol as a proton source. Notably, under photocatalytic conditions, a concentration-dependent shift in product selectivity from CO (at high [catalyst]) to HCO2 H (at low [catalyst]) was observed with turnover numbers up to 4760 for formic acid and high selectivities for reduced carbon products.

Abstract
Both [CoII(qpy)(H2O)2]2+ and [FeII(qpy)(H2O)2]2+ (with qpy = 2,2':6',2″:6'',2‴-quaterpyridine) are efficient homogeneous electrocatalysts and photoelectrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 to CO. The Co catalyst is more efficient in the electrochemical reduction, while the Fe catalyst is an excellent photoelectrocatalyst ( ACS Catal. 2018, 8, 3411-3417). This work uses density functional theory to shed light on the contrasting catalytic pathways. While both catalysts experience primarily ligand-based reductions, the second reduction in the Co catalyst is delocalized onto the metal via a metal-ligand bonding interaction, causing a spin transition and a distorted ligand framework. This orbital interaction explains the experimentally observed mild reduction potential and slow kinetics of the second reduction. The decreased hardness and doubly occupied dz2-orbital facilitate a σ-bond with the CO2-π* in an η1-κC binding mode. CO2 binding is only possible after two reductions resulting in an EEC mechanism (E = electron transfer, C = chemical reaction), and the second protonation is rate-limiting. In contrast, the Fe catalyst maintains a Lewis acidic metal center throughout the reduction process because the metal orbitals do not strongly mix with the qpy-π* orbitals. This allows binding of the activated CO2 in an η2-binding mode. This interaction stabilizes the activated CO2 via a π-type interaction of a Fe-t2g orbital and the CO2-π* and a dative bond of the oxygen lone pair. This facilitates CO2 binding to a singly reduced catalyst resulting in an ECE mechanism. The barrier for CO2 addition and the second protonation are higher than those for the Co catalyst and rate-limiting.

Abstract
Organometallic catalysts have played a key role in accomplishing numerous synthetically valuable organic transformations that are either otherwise not possible or inefficient. The use of precious, sparse and toxic 4d and 5d metals are an apparent downside of several such catalytic systems despite their immense success over the last several decades. The use of complexes containing Earth-abundant, inexpensive and less hazardous 3d metals, such as nickel, as catalysts for organic transformations has been an emerging field in recent times. In particular, the versatile nature of the corresponding pincer-metal complexes, which offers great control of their reactivity via countless variations, has garnered great interest among organometallic chemists who are looking for greener and cheaper alternatives. In this context, the current review attempts to provide a glimpse of recent developments in the chemistry of pincer-nickel catalyzed reactions. Notably, there have been examples of pincer-nickel catalyzed reactions involving two electron changes via purely organometallic mechanisms that are strikingly similar to those observed with heavier Pd and Pt analogues. On the other hand, there have been distinct differences where the pincer-nickel complexes catalyze single-electron radical reactions. The applicability of pincer-nickel complexes in catalyzing cross-coupling reactions, oxidation reactions, (de)hydrogenation reactions, dehydrogenative coupling, hydrosilylation, hydroboration, C-H activation and carbon dioxide functionalization has been reviewed here from synthesis and mechanistic points of view. The flurry of global pincer-nickel related activities offer promising avenues in catalyzing synthetically valuable organic transformations.

Abstract
We have recently reported a series of imidazolium-functionalized manganese bipyridyl tricarbonyl electrocatalysts, [Mn[bpyMe(Im-R)](CO)3Br]+ (R = Me, Me2, and Me4), for CO2-to-CO conversion in the presence of H2O as the proton source [J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2019, 141, 6569]. These catalysts feature slightly acidic imidazolium moieties in the secondary coordination sphere and reduce CO2 at mild electrochemical potentials. Here, we employ density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the electronic structure and reactivity for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) over the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using [Mn[bpyMe(ImMe)](CO)3Br]+ (1+). Our work indicates that, in the absence of water, the imidazolium ligand stabilizes the Mn-CO2 adduct through hydrogen bonding-like interactions, similar to the activated CO2 molecule in the C-cluster of the Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase II, and assists the protonation steps during CO2RR and HER. More significantly, based on the energy span model, we demonstrate that the selectivity for CO2 fixation over proton reduction results from a higher activation energy for yielding the manganese dihydrogen intermediate before H2 release, which is the TOF determining transition state (TDTS) under an applied potential of Φ = -1.82 V versus Fc0/+. The calculated TOF also reflects the selectivity for CO2RR, which is four orders of magnitude larger than for HER, consistent with the CPE experiments that show no hydrogen was obtained. In the case of CO2 reduction, the TOF determining intermediate (TDI) corresponds to the doubly reduced active catalyst, 1C2(red2), which features a manganese(0) center that couples ferromagnetically with one unpaired electron in the π* orbital of bipyridine. On the other hand, for HER, the metal-hydride intermediate, 1C2(I11-R), is the TDI. Finally, second-order perturbation analyses imply that the strongest hydrogen bonding-like interaction at the C2 position in 1+ contributes to the higher catalytic activity with respect to [Mn[bpyMe(ImMe2)](CO)3Br]+ (2+) and [Mn[bpyMe(ImMe4)](CO)3Br]+ (3+) for CO2 fixation, consistent with the experimental data.

Abstract
Carbonyl complexes with manganese(I) as the central metal are very attractive catalysts. The introduction of redox-active ligands, such as quinones and methyl viologen analogs into these catalysts, would be expected to lead to superior catalyst performances, since they can function as excellent electron carriers. In this study, we synthesized four tricarbonylmanganese(I) complexes containing typical bidentate polypyridyl ligands, including 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) frameworks bound to redox-active ortho-quinone/catechol or methyl viologen-like units. The molecular structures of the resulting complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography to clarify their steric features. As expected from the infrared (IR) data, three CO ligands for each complex were coordinated in the facial configuration around the central manganese(I) atom. Additionally, the structural parameters were found to differ significantly between the quinone/catechol units. Electrochemical analysis revealed some differences between them and their reference complexes, namely [MnBr(CO)3(phen)] and [MnBr(CO)3(bpy)]. Notably, interconversions induced by two-electron/two-proton transfers between the quinone and catechol units were observed in the phenanthroline-based complexes. This work indicated that the structural and redox properties in tricarbonylmanganese(I) complexes were significantly affected by chemically modified polypyridyl ligands. A better understanding of structures and redox behaviors of the present compounds would facilitate the design of new manganese complexes with enhanced properties.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology, especially the development of integrated nanostructured materials, have offered unprecedented opportunities for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Compared to bulk semiconductor photocatalysts, most of these nanostructured photocatalysts offer at least one advantage in areas such as photogenerated carrier kinetics, light absorption, and active surface area, supporting improved photochemical reaction efficiencies. In this review, we briefly cover the cutting-edge research activities in the area of integrated nanostructured catalysts for photochemical CO2 reduction, including aqueous and gas-phase reactions. Primarily explored are the basic principles of tailor-made nanostructured composite photocatalysts and how nanostructuring influences photochemical performance. Specifically, we summarize the recent developments related to integrated nanostructured materials for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, mainly in the following five categories: carbon-based nano-architectures, metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks, conjugated porous polymers, and layered double hydroxide-based inorganic hybrids. Besides the technical aspects of nanostructure-enhanced catalytic performance in photochemical CO2 reduction, some future research trends and promising strategies are addressed.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and easy-to-handle strategy in designing catalysts for CO2 reduction into CO by harnessing sunlight is a promising project. Here, a facile strategy was developed to design a Re catalyst modified with an ionic secondary coordination sphere for photoreduction of CO2 to CO by visible light. By adding ionic liquids or tuning a different ionic secondary coordination sphere, it was discovered that an outstanding optical property, other than CO2 absorption ability or the ability to dissociation of chloride anion, is the prerequisite for catalyst design. Accordingly, a novel Re catalyst, {Re[BpyMe(tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine)](CO)3 Cl}Br (Re-THEA), was designed, screened, and resulted in a relative high quantum yield (up to 34 %) for visible-light-induced CO2 reduction with a single-molecule system. DFT calculations, combined with experimental outcomes, suggested the pendant ionic tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amino (THEA) group on Re-THEA can enhance visible-light absorption, stabilize reaction intermediates, and suppress the Re-Re dimer formation.

Abstract
The development of molecular catalysts for CO2 electroreduction within electrolyzers requests their immobilization on the electrodes. While a variety of methods have been explored for the heterogenization of homogeneous complexes, a novel approach using a hierarchical porous carbon material, derived from a metal-organic framework, is reported as a support for the well-known molecular catalyst [Re(bpy)(CO)3 Cl] (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine). This cathodic hybrid material, named Re@HPC (HPC=hierarchical porous carbon), has been tested for CO2 electroreduction using a mixture of an ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, EMIM) and water as the electrolyte. Interestingly, it catalyzes the conversion of CO2 into a mixture of carbon monoxide and formic acid, with a selectivity that depends on the applied potential. The present study thus reveals that Re@HPC is a remarkable catalyst, enjoying excellent activity (turnover numbers for CO2 reduction of 7835 after 2 h at -1.95 V vs. Fc/Fc+ with a current density of 6 mA cm-2 ) and good stability. These results emphasize the advantages of integrating molecular catalysts onto such porous carbon materials for developing novel, stable and efficient, catalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction has been considered as a promising approach to solve energy and environmental problems. Nevertheless, developing inexpensive photocatalysts with high efficiency and selectivity remains a big challenge. In this study, two Co-based complexes [Co2(L1)Cl2] (1-Co) and [Co(L2)Cl] (2-Co) were synthesized by treating two DPA-based (DPA: dipicolylamine) ligands with Co2+, respectively. Under visible-light irradiation, the performance of 1-Co as a homogeneous photocatalyst for CO2 reduction in aqueous media has been explored by using [Ru(phen)3]2+ as a photosensitizer, and triethylolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial reductant. 1-Co shows high photocatalytic activity for CO2-to-CO conversion, corresponding to the high TONCO of 2600 and TOFCO of 260 h-1 (TONCO = turnover number for CO; TOFCO = turnover frequency for CO). High selectivity of 97% for CO formation is also achieved. The control experiments catalyzed by 2-Co demonstrated that two Co(II) centers in 1-Co may operate independently and activate one CO2 molecule each. Furthermore, the proposed mechanism of 1-Co for photocatalytic CO2 reduction has been investigated via electrochemical analysis, a series of quenching experiments, and density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis offers a way of producing fuels or high-value chemicals using a limitless energy source of sunlight and abundant resources such as water, CO2, and/or O2. Inspired by the strategies in natural photosynthesis, researchers have developed a number of homogeneous molecular systems for photocatalytic, photoelectrocatalytic, and electrocatalytic artificial photosynthesis. However, their photochemical instability in homogeneous solution are hurdles for scaled application in real life. Immobilization of molecular catalysts in solid supports support provides a fine blueprint to tackle this issue. This review highlights the recent developments in (i) techniques for immobilizing molecular catalysts in solid supports and (ii) catalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and O2 reduction with the support-immobilized molecular catalysts. Remaining challenges for molecular catalyst-based devices for artificial photosynthesis are discussed in the end of this review.

Abstract
To facilitate computational investigation of intermolecular interactions in the solution phase, we report the development of ALMO-EDA(solv), a scheme that allows the application of continuum solvent models within the framework of energy decomposition analysis (EDA) based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals (ALMOs). In this scheme, all the quantum mechanical states involved in the variational EDA procedure are computed with the presence of solvent environment so that solvation effects are incorporated in the evaluation of all its energy components. After validation on several model complexes, we employ ALMO-EDA(solv) to investigate substituent effects on two classes of complexes that are related to molecular CO2 reduction catalysis. For [FeTPP(CO2-κC)]2- (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin), we reveal that two ortho substituents which yield most favorable CO2 binding, -N(CH3)3 + (TMA) and -OH, stabilize the complex via through-structure and through-space mechanisms, respectively. The coulombic interaction between the positively charged TMA group and activated CO2 is found to be largely attenuated by the polar solvent. Furthermore, we also provide computational support for the design strategy of utilizing bulky, flexible ligands to stabilize activated CO2 via long-range Coulomb interactions, which creates biomimetic solvent-inaccessible "pockets" in that electrostatics is unscreened. For the reactant and product complexes associated with the electron transfer from the p-terphenyl radical anion to CO2, we demonstrate that the double terminal substitution of p-terphenyl by electron-withdrawing groups considerably strengthens the binding in the product state while moderately weakens that in the reactant state, which are both dominated by the substituent tuning of the electrostatics component. These applications illustrate that this new extension of ALMO-EDA provides a valuable means to unravel the nature of intermolecular interactions and quantify their impacts on chemical reactivity in solution.

Abstract
The efficient and selective light-driven conversion of carbon dioxide to formate is a scientific challenge for green chemistry and energy science, especially utilizing visible-light energy and earth-abundant catalytic materials. In this report, two mononuclear Ni(II) complexes of pyridylbenzimidazole (pbi) and pyridylbenzothiazole (pbt), such as Ni(pbt)(pyS)2 (1) and Ni(pbi)(pyS)2 (2) (pyS = pyridine-2-thiolate), were prepared and their reactivities studied. The two Ni complexes were examined for CO2 conversion using eosin Y as a photosensitizer upon visible-light irradiation in a H2O/ethanol solvent. The photoreaction of CO2 catalyzed by complexes 1 and 2 selectively affords formate with a high efficiency (14 000 turnover number) and a high catalytic selectivity of ∼99%. Undesirable proton reduction pathways were completely suppressed in the photocatalytic reactions with these sulfur-rich Ni catalysts under CO2. Hydrogen photoproduction was also studied under argon. Their kinetic isotope effects and influence of solution pH for formate and H2 production in the photocatalytic reactions are described in relation to the reaction mechanisms. These bioinspired Ni(II) catalysts with N/S ligation in relation to [NiFe]-hydrogenases are the first examples of early transition metal complexes affording such high selectivity and efficiencies, providing a future path to design solar-to-fuel processes for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The instability and low inferior catalytic activity of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals are crucial issues for promoting their practical application in the photocatalytic field. Herein, we in situ coat a thin graphdiyne (GDY) layer on CsPbBr3 nanocrystals based on a facile microwave synthesis method, and employ it as a photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. Under the protection of GDY, the CsPbBr3-based photocatalyst delivers significantly improved stability in a photocatalytic system containing water concomitant with enhanced CO2 uptake capacity. The favorable energy offset and close contact between CsPbBr3 and GDY trigger swift photogenerated electron transfer from CsPbBr3 to doping metal sites in GDY, boosting a remarkable improvement in the photocatalytic performance for CO2 reduction. Without adding traditional sacrificial reductants, the cobalt-doped photocatalyst achieves a high yield of 27.7 μmol g-1 h-1 for photocatalytic CO2 conversion to CO based on water as a desirable electron source, which is about 8 times higher than that of pristine CsPbBr3 nanocrystals.

Abstract
The development of CO2-reduction photocatalysts is one of the main targets in the field of artificial photosynthesis. Recently, numerous hybrid systems in which supramolecular photocatalysts comprised of a photosensitizer and catalytic-metal-complex units are immobilized on inorganic solid materials, such as semiconductors or mesoporous organosilica, have been reported as CO2-reduction photocatalysts for various functions, including water oxidation and light harvesting. In the present study, we investigated the photocatalytic properties of supramolecular photocatalysts comprised of a Ru(II)-complex photosensitizer and a Re(I)-complex catalyst fixed on the surface of insulating Al2O3 particles: the distance among the supramolecular photocatalyst molecules should be fixed. Visible-light irradiation of the photocatalyst in the presence of an electron donor under a CO2 atmosphere produced CO selectively. Although CO formation was also observed for a 1:1 mixture of mononuclear Ru(II) and Re(I) complexes attached to an Al2O3 surface, the photocatalytic activity was much lower. The activity of the Al2O3-supported photocatalyst was strongly dependent on the adsorption density of the supramolecular moiety, where the initial rate of photocatalytic CO formation was faster at lower density and higher photocatalyst durability was achieved at higher density. One of the main reasons for the former phenomenon is the decreased quenching fraction of the excited state of the photosensitizer unit by the reductant dissolved in the solution phase in the case of higher density. This is due to the self-quenching of the excited photosensitizer unit and steric hindrance between the condensed supramolecular photocatalyst molecules attached to the surface. The higher durability of the more condensed system is caused by intermolecular electron transfer between reduced supramolecular photocatalyst molecules, which accelerates the formation of CO in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Coadsorption of a Ru(II) mononuclear complex as a redox photosensitizer could drastically reinforce the photocatalysis of the supramolecular photocatalyst on the surface of the Al2O3 particles: more than 10 times higher turnover number and about 3.4 times higher turnover frequency of CO formation. These investigations provide new architectures for the construction of efficient and durable hybrid photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction, which are composed of metal-complex photocatalysts and solid materials.

Abstract
Small-molecule conversions involving multielectron transfer processes enable the conversion of earth-abundant materials into valuable chemicals and are regarded as a solution for environmental and energy shortage problems. In this context, the development of artificial catalysts that promote these reactions is an important research target. In nature, metalloenzymes that contain multinuclear metal complexes as active sites are known to efficiently catalyze reactions under mild conditions. Therefore, using multinuclear metal complexes as artificial catalysts can be an attractive strategy for small-molecule conversions involving multielectron transfer processes. However, multinuclear-metal-complex-based catalysts for these reactions have not been well established. In this Account, we describe our recent advances in the development of multinuclear metal complexes as catalysts for small-molecule conversion, mainly focusing on water oxidation. As small-molecule conversions involving multielectron transfer processes consists of two essential processes, (1) the transfer of multiple electrons and (2) the formation/cleavage of covalent bond(s), catalysts for these reactions should facilitate both steps. Therefore, we assumed that the assembly of redox-active metal ions and the cooperative effect of neighboring coordinatively unsaturated metal ions can promote these processes. On the basis of this assumption, we employed a pentanuclear metal complex as a molecular scaffold for the catalyst. The scaffold has a pentanuclear structure with quasi-D3 symmetry and consists of a [M3(μ3-X)] core (X = O2- or OH-) wrapped by two [M(μ-bpp)3] units (Hbpp = 3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazole). The metal ions in the triangular core are coordinatively unsaturated, whereas the metal ions at the apical positions are coordinatively saturated. In other words, the pentanuclear scaffold possesses multiple redox-active centers and coordinatively unsaturated sites. It should also be noted that the electron transfer ability of the complex changes dramatically depending on the identity of the constituent metal ions. The iron derivative of the pentanuclear scaffold was found to serve as an electrocatalyst for water oxidation (2H2O → O2 + 4e- + 4H+) with a high reaction rate and excellent robustness. The substitution of metal ions in the pentanuclear scaffold to cobalt ions resulted in the development of a catalyst for CO2 reduction. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of substituents on the ligands of the pentanuclear iron complex and succeeded in precisely manipulating the electron transfer possess. These results clearly demonstrate that the pentanuclear scaffold is an attractive platform for catalysts for small-molecule conversions. Additionally, the intrinsic features of the multinuclear catalytic system, which are totally different from those of conventional mononuclear-metal-complex-based catalysts, are disclosed. In reactions mediated by multinuclear complexes, the multinuclear core can initially accumulate the charge required for catalysis to reach the catalytically active state. Subsequently, the catalyst in the active state reacts with the substrate, initiating electron transfer to the substrate and rearrangement of covalent bonds in the substrate to afford the product. In such a mechanism, the desired number of electrons can be transferred to the substrates in an on-demand fashion, and the formation of undesired chemical species in the targeted catalysis may be prevented. This feature of multinuclear-metal-complex-based catalysts will achieve demanding small-molecule conversions with a high reaction rate, selectivity, and durability.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas whose presence in the atmosphere significantly contributes to climate change. Developing sustainable, cost-effective pathways to convert CO2 into higher value chemicals is essential to curb its atmospheric presence. Electrochemical CO2 reduction to value-added chemicals using molecular catalysis currently attracts a lot of attention, since it provides an efficient and promising way to increase CO2 utilization. Introducing amino groups as substituents to molecular catalysts is a promising approach towards improving capture and reduction of CO2. This review explores recently developed state-of-the-art molecular catalysts with a focus on heterogeneous and homogeneous amine molecular catalysts for electroreduction of CO2. The relationship between the structural properties of the molecular catalysts and CO2 electroreduction will be highlighted in this review. We will also discuss recent advances in the heterogeneous field by examining different immobilization techniques and their relation with molecular structure and conductive effects.

Abstract
![]()
A new Re bipyridine-type complex,
namely, fac-Re(pmbpy)(CO)3Cl (pmbpy =
4-phenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-2,2′-bipyridine), 1, carrying a single OH moiety as local proton source, has
been synthesized, and its electrochemical behavior under Ar and under
CO2 has been characterized. Two isomers of 1, namely, 1-cis characterized by the
proximity of Cl to OH and 1-trans, are
identified. The interconversion between 1-cis and 1-trans is clarified by DFT calculations,
which reveal two transition states. The energetically lower pathway
displays a non-negligible barrier of 75.5 kJ mol–1. The 1e– electrochemical reduction of 1 affords the neutral intermediate 1-OPh, formally derived
by reductive deprotonation and loss of Cl– from 1. 1-OPh, which exhibits an entropically favored
intramolecular Re–O bond, has been isolated and characterized.
The detailed electrochemical mechanism is demonstrated by combined
chemical reactivity, spectroelectrochemistry, spectroscopic (IR and
NMR), and computational (DFT) approaches. Comparison with previous
Re and Mn derivatives carrying local proton sources highlights that
the catalytic activity of Re complexes is more sensitive to the presence
of local OH groups. Similar to Re-2OH (2OH = 4-phenyl-6-(phenyl-2,6-diol)-2,2′-bipyridine), 1 and Mn-1OH display a selective reduction of
CO2 to CO. In the case of the Re bipyridine-type complex,
the formation of a relatively stable Re–O bond and a preference
for phenolate-based reactivity with CO2 slightly inhibit
the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, resulting
in a low TON value of 9, even in the presence of phenol as a proton
source. A new Re bipyridine-type complex, namely, fac-Re(pmbpy)(CO)3Cl (pmbpy = 4-phenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-2,2′-bipyridine), 1, carrying a single OH moiety as local proton source, has
been synthesized, and its electrochemical behavior under Ar and under
CO2 has been characterized. Two isomers of 1, namely, 1-cis characterized by the

Abstract
Mixed-ligand Cu(I) complexes have attracted attention as alternatives to the noble- and/or rare-metal complexes, because of their remarkable photofunctions. To develop mixed-ligand Cu(I) complexes with rich photofunctions, an investigation of a suitable combination of ligands has captured more and more research interests. Herein, we report the first examples of emissive heteroleptic diphosphine-disulfide Cu(I) complexes combined with diphosphine ligands. The systematic study using a series of diphosphine ligands revealed that large π-conjugated bridging moieties between the two P atoms in the diphosphine ligands result in higher light-emission performance. When the diphosphine ligand was (R)-BINAP ((R)-BINAP = (R)-(+)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl), the Cu(I) complex had an emission quantum yield (Φem) of 0.13 and a long emission lifetime (τem = 118 μs).

Abstract
Iron complexes with a N2 O2 -type N,N'-bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,2-phenylenediamine salophen ligand catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO in acetonitrile with phenol as the proton donor, giving rise to 90-99 % selectivity, faradaic efficiency up to 58 %, and turnover frequency up to 103 s-1 at an overpotential of 0.65 V. This novel class of molecular catalyst for CO2 reduction operate through a mononuclear FeI intermediate, with phenol being involved in the process with first-order kinetics. The molecular nature of the catalyst and the low cost, easy synthesis and functionalization of the salophen ligand paves the way for catalyst engineering and optimization. Competitive electrodeposition of the coordination complex at the electrode surface results in the formation of iron-based nanoparticles, which are active towards heterogeneous electrocatalytic processes mainly leading to proton reduction to hydrogen (faradaic efficiency up to 80 %) but also to the direct reduction of CO2 to methane with a faradaic efficiency of 1-2 %.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to value-added products provides a viable alternative to the use of carbon sources derived from fossil fuels. Carrying out these transformations at reasonable energetic costs, for example, with low overpotential, remains a challenge. Molecular catalysts allow fine control of activity and selectivity via tuning of their coordination sphere and ligand set. Herein we investigate a series of cobalt(III) pyridine-thiolate complexes as electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. The effect of the ligands and proton sources on activity was examined. We identified bipyridine bis(2-pyridinethiolato) cobalt(III) hexaflurophosphate as a highly selective catalyst for formate production operating at a low overpotential of 110 mV with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 10 s-1 . Electrokinetic analysis coupled with density functional theory (DFT) computations established the mechanistic pathway, highlighting the role of metal hydride intermediates. The catalysts deactivate via the formation of stable cobalt carbonyl complexes, but the active species could be regenerated upon oxidation and release of coordinated CO ligands.

Abstract
Here, we report the quantitative electroreduction of CO2 to CO by a PNP-pincer iridium(i) complex bearing amino linkers in DMF/water. The electrocatalytic properties greatly depend on the choice of linker within the ligand. The complex 3-N is far superior to the analogues with methylene and oxygen linkers, showing higher activity and better selectivity for CO2 over proton reduction.

Abstract
Earth-abundant metal complexes have been attracting increasing attention in the field of photo(redox)catalysis. In this work, the synthesis and full characterisation of four new heteroleptic CuI complexes are reported, which can work as photosensitizers. The complexes bear a bulky diphosphine (DPEPhos=bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether) and a diimine chelating ligand based on 1-benzyl-4-(quinol-2'yl)-1,2,3-triazole. Their absorption has a relative maximum in the visible-light region, up to 450 nm. Thus, their use in photocatalytic systems for the reduction of CO2 with blue light in combination with the known catalyst [NiII (cyclam)]Cl2 was tested. This system produced CO as the main product through visible light (λ=420 nm) with a TON up to 8 after 4 hours. This value is in line with other photocatalytic systems using the same catalyst. Nevertheless, this system is entirely noble-metal free.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) is of great importance to tackle the rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The CO2 RR can be driven by renewable energy sources, producing precious chemicals and fuels, with the implementation of this process largely relying on the development of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts. Recently, a range of heterogeneous and potentially low-cost single-atom catalysts (SACs) containing non-precious metals coordinated to earth-abundant elements have emerged as promising candidates for the CO2 RR. Unfortunately, the real catalytically active centers and the key factors that govern the catalytic performance of these SACs remain ambiguous. Here, this ambiguity is addressed by developing a fundamental understanding of the CO2 RR-to-CO process on SACs, as CO accounts for the major product from CO2 RR on SACs. The reaction mechanism, the rate-determining steps, and the key factors that control the activity and selectivity are analyzed from both experimental and theoretical studies. Then, the synthesis, characterization, and the CO2 RR performance of SACs are discussed. Finally, the challenges and future pathways are highlighted in the hope of guiding the design of the SACs to promote and understand the CO2 RR on SACs.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) to value-added chemicals and fuels is regarded as an effective strategy to mitigate climate change caused by CO2 from excess consumption of fossil fuels. To achieve CO2 conversion with high faradaic efficiency, low overpotential, and excellent product selectivity, rational design and synthesis of efficient electrocatalysts is of significant importance, which dominates the development of ECR field. Individual organic molecules or inorganic catalysts have encountered a bottleneck in performance improvement owing to their intrinsic shortcomings. Very recently, organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials as electrocatalysts have exhibited high performance and interesting reaction processes for ECR due to the integration of the advantages of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic processes, attracting widespread interest. In this work, the recent advances in designing various organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials at the atomic and molecular level for ECR are systematically summarized. Particularly, the reaction mechanism and structure-performance relationship of organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials toward ECR are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and opportunities toward controlled synthesis of advanced electrocatalysts are proposed for paving the development of the ECR field.
