Abstract
Catalyst design for the efficient CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) remains a crucial challenge for the conversion of CO2 to fuels. Natural Ni-Fe carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (NiFe-CODH) achieves reversible conversion of CO2 and CO at nearly thermodynamic equilibrium potential, which provides a template for developing CO2RR catalysts. However, compared with the natural enzyme, most biomimetic synthetic Ni-Fe complexes exhibit negligible CO2RR catalytic activities, which emphasizes the significance of effective bimetallic cooperation for CO2 activation. Enlightened by bimetallic synergy, we herein report a dinickel complex, NiIINiII(bphpp)(AcO)2 (where NiNi(bphpp) is derived from H2bphpp = 2,9-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-3-pyridylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, which exhibits a remarkable reactivity approximately 5 times higher than that of the mononuclear Ni catalyst. Electrochemical and computational studies have revealed that the redox-active phenanthroline moiety effectively modulates the electron injection and transfer akin to the [Fe3S4] cluster in NiFe-CODH, and the secondary Ni site facilitates the C-O bond activation and cleavage through electron mediation and Lewis acid characteristics. Our work underscores the significant role of bimetallic cooperation in CO2 reduction catalysis and provides valuable guidance for the rational design of CO2RR catalysts.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic mechanisms of CO2 reduction catalyzed by pyridine-oxazoline (pyrox)-based Mn catalysts were investigated by DFT calculations. In-depth comparative analyses of pyrox-based and bipyridine-based Mn complexes were carried out. C-OH cleavage is the rate-determining step for both the protonation-first path and the reduction-first path. The free energy of CO2 activation (ΔG1) and the electrons donated by CO ligands in this step are effective descriptors in regulating the C-OH cleavage barrier. The reduction of carboxylate complex 6 (E6) is the potential-determining step for the reduction-first path. Meanwhile, for the protonation-first path, the initial generation (E2) or the regeneration (E8) of active catalyst might be potential-determining. Hirshfeld charge and orbital contribution analysis indicate that E6 is definitely based on the heterocyclic ligand and E2 is related to both the heterocyclic ligand and three CO ligands. Therefore, replacement of the CO ligand by a stronger electron donating ligand can effectively boost the catalytic activity of CO2 reduction without increasing the overpotential in the reduction-first path. This hypothesis is supported by the mechanism calculations of the Mn complex in which the axial CO ligand is replaced by a pyridine or PMe3.

Abstract
A series of six Mn(I) complexes with general formula [MnBr(bisNHC)(CO)3 ], having a bidentate bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand (bisNHC), has been developed by varying the bridging group between the NHC donors, the nitrogen wingtip substituents and the heterocyclic ring. The synthesis of the complexes has been accomplished by in situ transmetalation of the bisNHC from the corresponding silver(I) complexes. Removal of the bromide anion affords the corresponding solvento complexes [Mn(bisNHC)(CO)3 (CH3 CN)](BF4 ). The influence of the bisNHC structure on its electron donor ability has been evaluated by FTIR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, both in the neutral and cationic complexes. Finally, the isolated Mn(I)-bisNHC complexes have been employed as homogeneous catalysts in the reductive N-formylation and N-methylation of amines with CO2 as C1 source and phenylsilane as reducing agent, showing a high selectivity for the N-methylated product. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that, in the adopted reaction conditions, the formylated product can be formed via different reaction pathways, either metal-catalyzed or not, while the methylation reaction requires the use of the Mn(I) catalyst.

Abstract
Here we present stable and crystalline chromium(I) tetracarbonyl complexes with pyridyl-MIC (MIC=mesoionic carbene) ligands and weakly coordinating anions (WCA=[Al(ORF )4 ]- , RF =C(CF3 )3 and BArF =[B(ArF )4 ]- , ArF =3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ). The complexes were fully characterized via crystallographic, spectroscopic and theoretical methods. The influence of counter anions on the IR and EPR spectroscopic properties of the CrI complexes was investigated, and the electronic innocence versus non-innocence of WCAs was probed. These are the first examples of stable and crystalline [Cr(CO)4 ]+ complexes with a chelatingπ - ${\pi -}$ accepting ligand, and the data presented here are of relevance for both the photochemical and the electrochemical properties of these classes of compounds.

Abstract
Without the use of a photosensitizer, [Mn(bpy)(CO)3(CN)] (MnCN) can photochemically form [Mn(bpy)(CO)3]-, the active species for CO2 reduction. While cases of the axial X-ligand dissociating upon irradiation of fac-[M(N-N)(CO)3X] complexes (M = Mn or Re; N-N = bipyridine (bpy) ligand; X = halogen or pseudohalogen) are well documented, the axial cyanide ligand is retained when either [Mn(bpy)(CO)3(CN)] or [Mn(mesbpy)(CO)3(CN)], MnCN(mesbpy), are irradiated anaerobically. Infrared and UV-vis spectroscopies indicate the formation of [Mn(bpy)(CO)2(MeCN)(CN)] (s-MnCN) as the primary product during the irradiation of MnCN. An in-depth analysis of the photochemical mechanism for the formation of [Mn(bpy)(CO)3]- from MnCN is presented. MnCN(mesbpy) is too sterically hindered to undergo the same photochemical mechanism as MnCN. However, MnCN(mesbpy) is found to be electrocatalytically active for CO2 reduction to CO. Thus providing an interesting distinction between photochemical and electrochemical charge transfer.

Abstract
Contemporary electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 often suffer from low stability, activity, and selectivity, or a combination thereof. Mn-carbonyl complexes represent a promising class of molecular electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 to CO as they are able to promote this reaction at relatively mild overpotentials, whereby rare-earth metals are not required. The electronic and geometric structure of the reaction center of these molecular electrocatalysts is precisely known and can be tuned via ligand modifications. However, ligand characteristics that are required to achieve high catalytic turnover at minimal overpotential remain unclear. We consider 55 Mn-carbonyl complexes, which have previously been synthesized and characterized experimentally. Four intermediates were identified that are common across all catalytic mechanisms proposed for Mn-carbonyl complexes, and their structures were used to calculate descriptors for each of the 55 Mn-carbonyl complexes. These electronic-structure-based descriptors encompass the binding energies, the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, and partial charges. Trends in turnover frequency and overpotential with these descriptors were analyzed to afford meaningful physical insights into what ligand characteristics lead to good catalytic performance, and how this is affected by the reaction conditions. These insights can be expected to significantly contribute to the rational design of more active Mn-carbonyl electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Tricarbonyl Group 7 complexes have a longstanding history as efficacious CO2 electroreduction catalysts. Typically, these complexes feature an auxiliary 2,2'-bipyridine ligand that assists in redox steps by delocalizing the electron density into the ligand orbitals. While this feature lends to an accessible redox potential for CO2 electroreduction, it also presents challenges for electrocatalysis with Mn because the electron density is removed from metal-ligand bonding orbitals. The results presented here thus introduce a mesoionic carbene (MIC) as a potent ligand platform to promote Mn-based electrocatalysis. The strong σ donation of the N,C-bidentate MIC is shown to help centralize the electron density on the Mn center while also maintaining relevant redox potentials for CO2 electroreduction. Mechanistic investigation supports catalytic turnover at two operative potentials separated by 400 mV. In the low operating potential regime at -1.54 V, Mn(0) species catalyze CO2 to CO and CO32-, which has a maximum rate of 7 ± 5 s-1 and is stable for up to 30.7 h. At higher operating potential at -1.94 V, "Mn(-1)" catalyzes CO2 to CO and H2O with faster turnovers of 200 ± 100 s-1, with the trade-off being less stability at 6.7 h. The relative stabilities of Mn complexes bearing MIC and 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine were compared by evaluation under the same electrolysis conditions and therefore elucidated that the MIC promotes longevity for CO evolution throughout a 5 h period.

Abstract
![]()
Several metal-based
carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs)
are active CO donors with established antibacterial activity. Among
them, CORM conjugates with azole antibiotics of type [Mn(CO)3(2,2′-bipyridyl)(azole)]+ display important synergies
against several microbes. We carried out a structure–activity
relationship study based upon the lead structure of [Mn(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ by producing clotrimazole (Ctz) conjugates
with varying metal and ligands. We concluded that the nature of the
bidentate ligand strongly influences the bactericidal activity, with
the substitution of bipyridyl by small bicyclic ligands leading to
highly active clotrimazole conjugates. On the contrary, the metal
did not influence the activity. We found that conjugate [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ is more than the sum of its parts:
while precursor [Re(CO)3(Bpy)Br] has no antibacterial activity
and clotrimazole shows only moderate minimal inhibitory concentrations,
the potency of [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ is one order
of magnitude higher than that of clotrimazole, and the spectrum of
bacterial target species includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria. The addition of [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ to Staphylococcus aureus causes a
general impact on the membrane topology, has inhibitory effects on
peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and affects energy functions. The mechanism
of action of this kind of CORM conjugates involves a sequence of events
initiated by membrane insertion, followed by membrane disorganization,
inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis, CO release, and break down
of the membrane potential. These results suggest that conjugation
of CORMs to known antibiotics may produce useful structures with synergistic
effects that increase the conjugate’s activity relative to
that of the antibiotic alone.

Abstract
Our global society generates an unwieldy amount of CO2 per unit time. Therefore, the capture of this greenhouse gas must involve a diverse set of strategies. One solution to this problem is the conversion of CO2 into a more useful chemical species. Again, a multiplicity of syntheses and products will be necessary. No matter how elegant the chemistry is, commercial markets often have little use for a small set of compounds made in tremendous yield. Following this reasoning, the Bocarsly Research Group seeks to develop new electrochemical and photochemical processes that may be of utility in the conversion of CO2 to organic compounds. We focus on investigating proton-coupled charge transfer mechanisms that produce both C1 and carbon-carbon bonded products (C2+).In early work, we considered the reduction of CO2 to formate at electrocatalytic indium and tin electrodes. These studies demonstrated the key role of surface oxides in catalyzing the reduction of CO2. This work generated efficient systems for the formation of formate and paved the way to studies using non-copper, intermetallic electrocatalysts for the generation of C2+ species. Most notable is the efficient formation of oxalate at an oxidized Cr3Ga electrode. Oxalate has recently been suggested as a potential nonfossil, alternate organic feedstock.Separately, we have focused on the electrocatalytic effects of pyridine on the reduction of CO2 in aqueous electrolyte. These studies demonstrated that electrodes that normally yield a low hydrogen overpotential (Pd and Pt) show suppressed H2 evolution and strongly enhanced activity for CO2 reduction in the presence of pyridinium. Methanol was observed to form in high Faradaic yield at low overpotential using this system. The 6-electron, 6-proton reduction of CO2 in the presence of pyridinium was intriguing, and significant effort was placed on understanding the mechanism of this reaction both on metal electrodes and on semiconducting photocathodes. P-GaP electrodes were found to provide exceptional behavior for the formation of methanol using only light as the energy source.The pyridinium studies highlighted the role of protons in the overall reduction of CO2, stimulating our interest in the chemistry of MnBr(bpy)(CO)3 and related compounds. This complex was reported to electrochemically reduce CO2 to CO. We saw these reports as an opportunity to study the detailed nature of the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanism associated with CO2 reduction. Our investigation of this system revealed the role of hydrogen-bonding in CO2 reduction and pointed the way for the construction of a photochemical process for CO generation using a [(bpy)(CO)3Mn(CN)Mn(bpy)(CO)3]+ photocatalyst.Based on our studies to date, it appears likely that heterogeneous systems can be assembled to convert CO2 into products that are "beyond C2 products." This may open up new practical chemistry in the area of fossil-based replacements for both synthesis and fuels. Systems with pragmatic efficiencies are close to reality. Electrochemical reactors using heterogeneous electrocatalysts show the stability and product selectivity needed to generate industrial opportunities. Continued growth of mechanistic understanding is expected to facilitate the chemical design of cogent systems for the taming of CO2.

Abstract
This report details the synthesis and characterization of a small family of previously unreported, structurally related chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, and iron complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene and carbonyl supporting ligands. These complexes have the general form [ML(CO)3X] or [ML(CO)3], where X = CO or Br and L = 1-phenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene. Where possible, the solid-state, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and photophysical properties of these molecules were studied using a combination of experiment and theory. Photophysical studies reveal that decarbonylation occurs when these complexes are exposed to ultraviolet light, with the CO ligand being replaced with a labile acetonitrile solvent molecule. To obtain insights into the potential utility, scope, and applications of these complexes in visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis, their capacity to facilitate a range of photoinduced reactions via the reductive or oxidative functionalization of organic molecules was investigated. These chromium, molybdenum, and manganese catalysts efficiently facilitated atom-transfer radical addition processes. In light of their photolability, these types of catalysts may potentially allow for the development of photoinduced reactions involving less conventional inner-sphere electron-transfer pathways.

Abstract
A series of new fac-[Mn(L)(CO)3Br] complexes where L is a bidentate chelating ligand containing mixed mesoionic triazolylidene-pyridine (MIC^py, 1), triazolylidene-triazole (MIC^trz, 2), and triazole-pyridine (trz^py, 3) ligands have been prepared and fully characterized, including the single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1 and 2. The abilities of 1–3 and complex fac-[Mn(MIC^MIC)(CO)3Br] (4) to catalyze the electroreduction of CO2 has been assessed for the first time. It was found that all complexes displayed a current increase under CO2 atmosphere, being 3 and 4 the most active complexes. Complex 3, bearing a N^N-based ligand exhibited a good efficiency and an excellent selectivity for reducing CO2 to CO in the presence of 1.0 M of water, at low overpotential. Interestingly, complex 4 containing the strongly electron donating di-imidazolylidene ligand exhibited comparable activity to 3, when the experiments were performed in neat acetonitrile at slightly higher overpotential (−1.86 vs. −2.14 V).

Abstract
The electrocatalytic transformation of carbon dioxide has been a topic of interest in the field of CO2 utilization for a long time. Recently, the area has seen increasing dynamics as an alternative strategy to catalytic hydrogenation for CO2 reduction. While many studies focus on the direct electron transfer to the CO2 molecule at the electrode material, molecular transition metal complexes in solution offer the possibility to act as catalysts for the electron transfer. C1 compounds such as carbon monoxide, formate, and methanol are often targeted as the main products, but more elaborate transformations are also possible within the coordination sphere of the metal center. This perspective article will cover selected examples to illustrate and categorize the currently favored mechanisms for the electrochemically induced transformation of CO2 promoted by homogeneous transition metal complexes. The insights will be corroborated with the concepts and elementary steps of organometallic catalysis to derive potential strategies to broaden the molecular diversity of possible products.

Abstract
The [fac-Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br] complex is capable of catalyzing the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with high selectivity, moderate activity and large overpotential. Several attempts have been made to lower the overpotential and to enhance the catalytic activity of this complex by manipulating the second-coordination sphere of manganese and using relatively stronger acids to promote the protonation-first pathway. We report herein that the complex [fac-Mn(bpy-CONHMe)(CO)3(MeCN)]+ ([1-MeCN]+; bpy-CONHMe = N-methyl-(2,2'-bipyridine)-6-carboxamide) as a pre-catalyst could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with low overpotential and high activity and selectivity. Combined experimental and computational studies reveal that the amide NH group not only decreases the overpotential of the Mn catalyst by promoting the dimer and protonation-first pathways in the presence of H2O but also enhances the CO2 electroreduction activity by facilitating C-OH bond cleavage, making [1-MeCN]+ an efficient CO2 reduction pre-catalyst at low overpotential.

Abstract
Because of the strong σ-donor and weak π-acceptor of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), Mn-NHC complexes were found to be active for the reduction of CO2 to CO with high activity. However, some NHC-based manganese complexes showed low catalytic activity and required very negative potentials. We report herein that complex fac-[MnI(bis-MesNHC)(CO)3Br] [1; bis-MesNHC = 3,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-(1,1'-diimidazolin-2,2'-diylidene)methane] could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with high activity (TOFmax = 3180 ± 6 s-1) at a less negative potential. Due to the introduction of the bulky Mes groups, a one-electron-reduced intermediate {[Mn0(bis-MesNHC)(CO)3]0 (2•)} was isolated as a packed "dimer" and crystallographically characterized. Stopped-flow Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to prove the direct reaction between doubly reduced intermediate fac-[Mn(bis-MesNHC)(CO)3]- and CO2; the tetracarbonyl Mn complex [Mn+(bis-MesNHC)(CO)4]+ ([2-CO]+) was captured, and its further reduction proposed as the rate-limiting step.

Abstract
Herein, we present the cathodic paths of the Group-7 metal complex [Re(3,3'-DHBPY)(CO)3Cl] (3,3'-DHBPY = 3,3'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine) producing a moderately active catalyst of electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO. The combined techniques of cyclic voltammetry and IR/UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry have revealed significant differences in the chemistry of the electrochemically reduced parent complex compared to the previously published Re/4,4'-DHBPY congener. The initial irreversible cathodic step in weakly coordinating THF is shifted toward much less negative electrode potentials, reflecting facile reductive deprotonation of one hydroxyl group and strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding, O-H···O-. The latter process occurs spontaneously in basic dimethylformamide where Re/4,4'-DHBPY remains stable. The subsequent reduction of singly deprotonated [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-H+)(CO)3Cl]- under ambient conditions occurs at a cathodic potential close to that of the Re/4,4'-DHBPY-H+ derivative. However, for the stabilized 3,3'-DHBPY-H+ ligand, the latter process at the second cathodic wave is more complex and involves an overall transfer of three electrons. Rapid potential step electrolysis induces 1e--reductive cleavage of the second O-H bond, triggering dissociation of the Cl- ligand from [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3Cl]2-. The ultimate product of the second cathodic step in THF was identified as 5-coordinate [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3]3-, the equivalent of classical 2e--reduced [Re(BPY)(CO)3]-. Each reductive deprotonation of the DHBPY ligand results in a redshift of the IR ν(CO) absorption of the tricarbonyl complexes by ca. 10 cm-1, facilitating the product assignment based on comparison with the literature data for corresponding Re/BPY complexes. The Cl- dissociation from [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3Cl]2- was proven in strongly coordinating butyronitrile. The latter dianion is stable at 223 K, converting at 258 K to 6-coordinate [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3(PrCN)]3-. Useful reference data were obtained with substituted parent [Re(3,3'-DHBPY)(CO)3(PrCN)]+ that also smoothly deprotonates by the initial reduction to [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-H+)(CO)3(PrCN)]. The latter complex ultimately converts at the second cathodic wave to [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3(PrCN)]3- via a counterintuitive ETC step generating the 1e- radical of the parent complex, viz., [Re(3,3'-DHBPY)(CO)3(PrCN)]. The same alternative reduction path is also followed by [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-H+)(CO)3Cl]- at the onset of the second cathodic wave, where the ETC step results in the intermediate [Re(3,3'-DHBPY)(CO)3Cl]•- further reducible to [Re(3,3'-DHBPY-2H+)(CO)3]3- as the CO2 catalyst.

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
The unusual nonbifunctional outer-sphere strategy was successfully utilized in developing an easily accessible N-heterocyclic carbene manganese (NHC-Mn) system for highly active α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols. This system was efficient for a wide range of ketones and alcohols under mild reaction conditions, and also for the green synthesis of quinoline derivatives. The direct outer-sphere mechanism and the high activity of the present system demonstrate the potential of nonbifunctional outer-sphere strategy in catalyst design for acceptorless dehydrogenative transformations.

Abstract
We report here the first purely organometallic fac-[MnI (CO)3 (bis-Me NHC)Br] complex with unprecedented activity for the selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, exceeding 100 turnovers with excellent faradaic yields (ηCO ≈95 %) in anhydrous CH3 CN. Under the same conditions, a maximum turnover frequency (TOFmax ) of 2100 s-1 was measured by cyclic voltammetry, which clearly exceeds the values reported for other manganese-based catalysts. Moreover, the addition of water leads to the highest TOFmax value (ca. 320 000 s-1 ) ever reported for a manganese-based catalyst. A MnI tetracarbonyl intermediate was detected under catalytic conditions for the first time.

Abstract
The development of catalysts for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide offers an attractive approach to transforming this greenhouse gas into value-added carbon products with sustainable energy input. Inspired by natural bioinorganic systems that feature precisely positioned hydrogen-bond donors in the secondary coordination sphere to direct chemical transformations occurring at redox-active metal centers, we now report the design, synthesis, and characterization of a series of iron tetraphenylporphyrin (Fe-TPP) derivatives bearing amide pendants at various positions at the periphery of the metal core. Proper positioning of the amide pendants greatly affects the electrocatalytic activity for carbon dioxide reduction to carbon monoxide. In particular, derivatives bearing proximal and distal amide pendants on the ortho position of the phenyl ring exhibit significantly larger turnover frequencies (TOF) compared to the analogous para-functionalized amide isomers or unfunctionalized Fe-TPP. Analysis of TOF as a function of catalyst standard reduction potential enables first-sphere electronic effects to be disentangled from second-sphere through-space interactions, suggesting that the ortho-functionalized porphyrins can utilize the latter second-sphere property to promote CO2 reduction. Indeed, the distally-functionalized ortho-amide isomer shows a significantly larger through-space interaction than its proximal ortho-amide analogue. These data establish that proper positioning of secondary coordination sphere groups is an effective design element for breaking electronic scaling relationships that are often observed in electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)3Br is a highly active photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. The PhCF3 derivative was previously empirically shown to be a robust catalyst. Here, the role of the PhCF3 group is probed computationally and the robust nature of this catalyst is analyzed with regard to the presence of water and oxygen introduced in controlled amounts during the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO with visible light. This complex was found to work well from 0–1% water concentration reproducibly; however, trace amounts of water were required for benchmark Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl to give reproducible reactivity. When ambient air is added to the reaction mixture, the NHC complex was found to retain substantial performance (~50% of optimized reactivity) at up to 40% ambient atmosphere and 60% CO2 while the Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl complex was found to give a dramatically reduced CO2 reduction reactivity upon introduction of ambient atmosphere. Through the use of time-correlated single photon counting studies and prior electrochemical results, we reasoned that this enhanced catalyst resilience is due to a mechanistic difference between the NHC- and bpy-based catalysts. These results highlight an important feature of this NHC-ligated catalyst: substantially enhanced stability toward common reaction contaminates.

Abstract
The utilization of CO2 via electrochemical reduction constitutes a promising approach toward production of value-added chemicals or fuels using intermittent renewable energy sources. For this purpose, molecular electrocatalysts are frequently studied and the recent progress both in tuning of the catalytic properties and in mechanistic understanding is truly remarkable. While in earlier years research efforts were focused on complexes with rare metal centers such as Re, Ru, and Pd, the focus has recently shifted toward earth-abundant transition metals such as Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni. By application of appropriate ligands, these metals have been rendered more than competitive for CO2 reduction compared to the heavier homologues. In addition, the important roles of the second and outer coordination spheres in the catalytic processes have become apparent, and metal-ligand cooperativity has recently become a well-established tool for further tuning of the catalytic behavior. Surprising advances have also been made with very simple organocatalysts, although the mechanisms behind their reactivity are not yet entirely understood. Herein, the developments of the last three decades in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction with homogeneous catalysts are reviewed. A discussion of the underlying mechanistic principles is included along with a treatment of the experimental and computational techniques for mechanistic studies and catalyst benchmarking. Important catalyst families are discussed in detail with regard to mechanistic aspects, and recent advances in the field are highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogenation reactions can be used to store energy in chemical bonds, and if these reactions are reversible, that energy can be released on demand. Some of the most effective transition metal catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation have featured pyridin-2-ol-based ligands (e.g., 6,6'-dihydroxybipyridine (6,6'-dhbp)) for both their proton-responsive features and for metal-ligand bifunctional catalysis. We aimed to compare bidentate pyridin-2-ol based ligands with a new scaffold featuring an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) bound to pyridin-2-ol. Toward this aim, we have synthesized a series of [Cp*Ir(NHC-pyOR)Cl]OTf complexes where R = t Bu (1), H (2), or Me (3). For comparison, we tested analogous bipy-derived iridium complexes as catalysts, specifically [Cp*Ir(6,6'-dxbp)Cl]OTf, where x = hydroxy (4Ir ) or methoxy (5Ir ); 4Ir was reported previously, but 5Ir is new. The analogous ruthenium complexes were also tested using [(η6-cymene)Ru(6,6'-dxbp)Cl]OTf, where x = hydroxy (4Ru ) or methoxy (5Ru ); 4Ru and 5Ru were both reported previously. All new complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction for 1, 2, 3, 5Ir , and for two [Ag(NHC-pyOR)2]OTf complexes 6 (R = t Bu) and 7 (R = Me). The aqueous catalytic studies of both CO2 hydrogenation and formic acid dehydrogenation were performed with catalysts 1-5. In general, NHC-pyOR complexes 1-3 were modest precatalysts for both reactions. NHC complexes 1-3 all underwent transformations under basic CO2 hydrogenation conditions, and for 3, we trapped a product of its transformation, 3SP , which we characterized crystallographically. For CO2 hydrogenation with base and dxbp-based catalysts, we observed that x = hydroxy (4Ir ) is 5-8 times more active than x = methoxy (5Ir ). Notably, ruthenium complex 4Ru showed 95% of the activity of 4Ir . For formic acid dehydrogenation, the trends were quite different with catalytic activity showing 4Ir ≫ 4Ru and 4Ir ≈ 5Ir . Secondary coordination sphere effects are important under basic hydrogenation conditions where the OH groups of 6,6'-dhbp are deprotonated and alkali metals can bind and help to activate CO2. Computational DFT studies have confirmed these trends and have been used to study the mechanisms of both CO2 hydrogenation and formic acid dehydrogenation.

Abstract
We report the utilization of both pyrid-2-yl-imidazolylidene and dianionic bipz chelates as constituents in syntheses of a new series of charge-neutral Pt(II) complexes 1-4, among which complex 4 revealed remarkable triboluminescence, i.e., generation of photoemission upon grinding or cracking of the solid sample. The triboluminescence is found to be sensitive to the subtle changes of the associated substituents of pyrid-2-yl-imidazolylidene chelate, as verified by the disappearance of the triboluminescence for complexes 1-3. Alternatively, the well-ordered solid packing of 3, as indicated by the grazing incidence X-ray scattering experiment, serves as an ideal emitter for the fabrication of highly efficient OLEDs, rendering high external quantum efficienciy (25.9%) and luminesce efficiency (90 cd A-1) at the practical brightness of 100 cd m-2. The rather low roll-off in efficiency (24.4%, 85 cd A-1 at high brightness of 1000 cd m-2) is attributed to the short excited-state lifetime of 3 (∼800 ns) in the solid state, which in turn is associated with the MMLCT transition character.

Abstract
A new manganese(I) N-heterocyclic carbene electrocatalyst containing a benzimidazole-pyrimidine-based ligand is reported for the two-electron conversion of CO2. The increased π acidity of pyrimidine shifts the two-electron reduction to -1.77 V vs Fc/Fc+, 70 mV more positive than that for MnBr(2,2'-bipyridine)(CO)3; increased catalytic current enhancement is also observed (5.2× vs 2.1×). Theoretical analyses suggest that this heightened activity may follow from the preference for a reduction-first dehydroxylation mechanism.

Abstract
A series of four electron-deficient-substituted Re(I) pyridyl N-heterocyclic carbene (pyNHC) complexes have been synthesized, and their electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis experiments. All of the catalysts were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry under inert atmosphere and under CO2 and compared to the known benchmark catalyst Re(bpy)(CO)3Br. Among the four Re-NHC catalysts, Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)3Br (2) demonstrated the highest catalytic rate (icat/ip)(2) at the first and second reduction events with a value of 4 at the second reduction potential (TOF = 0.8 s(-1)). The rate of catalysis was enhanced through the addition of proton sources (PhOH, TFE, and H2O; TOF up to 100 s(-1); (icat/ip)(2) = 700). Controlled potential electrolysis shows Faradaic efficiencies (FE) for CO production and accumulated charge for the Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)3Br catalyst exceed those of the benchmark catalyst in the presence of 2 M H2O (92%, 13 C at 1 h versus 61%, 3 C for the benchmark catalyst) under analogous experimental conditions. A peak FE of 100% was observed during electrolysis with Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)3Br.
