Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to investigate the cobalt porphyrin-catalyzed electro-reduction of CO2 to CO in an aqueous solution. The results suggest that CoII -porphyrin (CoII -L) undertakes a ligand-based reduction to generate the active species CoII -L⋅- , where the CoII center antiferromagnetically interacts with the ligand radical anion. CoII -L⋅- then performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2 , followed by protonation and a reduction to give CoII -L-COOH. An intermolecular proton transfer leads to the heterolytic cleavage of the C-O bond, producing intermediate CoII -L-CO. Subsequently, CO is released from CoII -L-CO, and CoII -L is regenerated to catalyze the next cycle. The rate-determining step of this CO2 RR is the nucleophilic attack on CO2 by CoII -L⋅- , with a total barrier of 20.7 kcal mol-1 . The competing hydrogen evolution reaction is associated with a higher total barrier. A computational investigation regarding the substituent effects of the catalyst indicates that the CoPor-R3 complex is likely to display the highest activity and selectivity as a molecular catalyst.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals has been hindered by poor product selectivity and competition from hydrogen evolution reactions. This study aims to unravel the origin of the product selectivity and competitive hydrogen evolution reaction on [MP]0 catalysts (M = Fe, Co, Rh and Ir; P is porphyrin ligand) by analyzing the mechanism of CO2 reduction and H2 formation based on the results of density functional theory calculations. Reduction of CO2 to CO and HCOO- proceeds via the formation of carboxylate adduct ([MP-COOH]0 and ([MP-COOH]-) and metal-hydride [MP-H]-, respectively. Competing proton reduction to gaseous hydrogen shares the [MP-H]- intermediate. Our results show that the pKa of [MP-H]0 can be used as an indicator of the CO or HCOO-/H2 preference. Furthermore, an ergoneutral pH has been determined and used to determine the minimum pH at which selective CO2 reduction to HCOO- becomes favorable over the H2 production. These analyses allow us to understand the product selectivity of CO2 reduction on [FeP]0, [CoP]0, [RhP]0 and [IrP]0; [FeP]0 and [CoP]0 are selective for CO whereas [RhP]0 and [IrP]0 are selective for HCOO- while suppressing H2 formation. These descriptors should be applicable to other catalysts in an aqueous medium.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to investigate the mechanism of cobalt(II) tetraamino phthalocyanine (CoPc-NH2) catalyzed electro-reduction of CO2. Computational results show that the catalytically active species 1 (4[CoII(H4L)]0) is formed by a four-electron-four-proton reduction of the initial catalyst CoPc-NH2. Complex 1 can attack CO2 after a one-electron reduction to give a [CoIII-CO22-]- intermediate, followed by a protonation and a one-electron reduction to give intermediate [CoII-COOH]- (4). Complex 4 is then protonated on its hydroxyl group by a carbonic acid to generate the critical species 6 (CoIII-L•--CO), which can release the carbon monoxide as an intermediate (and also as a product). In parallel, complex 6 can go through a successive four-electron-four-proton reduction to produce the targeted product methanol without forming formaldehyde as an intermediate product. The high-lying π orbital and the low-lying π* orbital of the phthalocyanine endow the redox noninnocent nature of the ligand, which could be a dianion, a radical monoanion, or a radical trianion during the catalysis. The calculated results for the hydrogen evolution reaction indicate a higher energy barrier than the carbon dioxide reduction. This is consistent with the product distribution in the experiments. Additionally, the amino group on the phthalocyanine ligand was found to have a minor effect on the barriers of critical steps, and this accounts for the experimentally observed similar activity for these two catalysts, namely, CoPc-NH2 and CoPc.

Abstract
The ever-growing level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere, is at once a threat and an opportunity. The development of sustainable and cost-effective pathways to convert CO2 to value-added chemicals is central to reducing its atmospheric presence. Electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RRs) driven by renewable electricity are among the most promising techniques to utilize this abundant resource; however, in order to reach a system viable for industrial implementation, continued improvements to the design of electrocatalysts is essential to improve the economic prospects of the technology. This review summarizes recent developments in heterogeneous porphyrin-based electrocatalysts for CO2 capture and conversion. We specifically discuss the various chemical modifications necessary for different immobilization strategies, and how these choices influence catalytic properties. Although a variety of molecular catalysts have been proposed for CO2RRs, the stability and tunability of porphyrin-based catalysts make their use particularly promising in this field. We discuss the current challenges facing CO2RRs using these catalysts and our own solutions that have been pursued to address these hurdles.

Abstract
Entropy benchmarking of different sized molecules in aqueous phase is carried out for known solvation models, where we compare geometry and solvation cavity packing parameters, which allows us to improve the accuracy of the obtained entropy values using empirical corrections. A comparison of solvation entropy models is conducted for a benchmarking set of 56 molecules, showing how an accurate description of cavitation entropy and its hindrance on other entropy values is important for large-sized solute molecules. Finally, we compare reaction free energies with entropies calculated using the most accurate solvation model considered, where we demonstrate a significant improvement in the accuracy relative to experimental values.

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
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
One of the long-standing issues that prohibits large-scale CO2 reutilization is the low aqueous solubility of CO2 and the incurring inefficient mass transport of CO2 . Herein, we suggest a feasible way to promote the CO2 reutilization by integrating the storage and reduction, with a new covalent organic framework (COF) series constituted by cobalt-phthalocyanine and boronic acid linkers. We find that the porous structure of the cobalt COF is competitive in the CO2 storage and can sustain a high CO2 concentration around the reduction center, whereas the mass transport of CO2 as well as the efficiency of the CO2 reduction is significantly improved. The predicted cobalt COF exhibits an overpotential of 0.27 V and a CO production rate, which is 97.7 times higher than in aqueous solution, for the CO2 reduction. Our work provides a promising candidate for the CO2 reutilization, with valuable insights and an important prototype for future practical design.

Abstract
Corrole and sapphyrin with the smallest meso-substituents reported so far were prepared in a one-pot synthesis that relies on a non-aldehydic precursor for introducing CF3 groups. The substantial amounts of products obtained by this facile pathway allowed for the full characterization of 5,10,15-tris(trifluoromethyl)corrole, the access to a variety of stable chelates thereof and investigations that disclose the unique structural and chemical properties induced by the CF3 substituents. The novel 5,10,15,20-tetra(trifluoromethyl)sapphyrin undergoes only single protonation, which according to its crystal structure is stabilized by favorable non-bonding F/H interaction between the meso-CF3 and the inverted pyrrolic NH.
