Abstract
The premise of most studies on the homogeneous electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a good understanding of the reaction mechanisms. Yet, analyzing the reaction intermediates formed at the working electrode is challenging and not always attainable. Here, we present a new, general approach to studying the reaction intermediates applied for CO2RR catalyzed by a series of cobalt complexes. The cobalt complexes were based on the TPA-ligands (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) modified by amino groups in the secondary coordination sphere. By combining the electrochemical experiments, electrochemistry-coupled electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we identify and spectroscopically characterize the key reaction intermediates in the CO2RR and the competing hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER). Additionally, the experiments revealed the rarely reported in situ changes in the secondary coordination sphere of the cobalt complexes by the CO2-initiated transformation of the amino substituents to carbamates. This launched an even faster alternative HER pathway. The interplay of three catalytic cycles, as derived from the experiments and supported by the DFT calculations, explains the trends that cobalt complexes exhibit during the CO2RR and HER. Additionally, this study demonstrates the need for a molecular perspective in the electrocatalytic activation of small molecules efficiently obtained by the EC-ESI-MS technique.

Abstract
Among the rare bimetallic complexes known for the reduction of CO2, CoIICoII and ZnIICoII hexamine cryptates are described as efficient photocatalysts. In close relation to the active sites of natural, CO2-reducing enzymes, we recently reported the asymmetric cryptand {NSNN}m ({NSNN}m = N[(CH2)2SCH2(m-C6H4)CH2NH(CH2)2]3N) comprising distinct sulphur- and nitrogen-rich binding sites and the corresponding CuIMII (MII = CoII, NiII, CuII) complexes. To gain insight into the effect of metals in different oxidation states and sulphur-incorporation on the photocatalytic activity, we herein investigate the CuICoII complex of {NSNN}m as catalyst for the visible light-driven reduction of CO2. After 24 h irradiation with LED light of 450 nm, CuICoII-{NSNN}m shows a high efficiency for the photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion with 9.22 μmol corresponding to a turnover number of 2305 and a high selectivity of 98% over the competing H2 production despite working in an acetonitrile/water (4 : 1) mixture. Experiments with mononuclear counterparts and computational studies show that the high activity can be attributed to synergistic catalysis between Cu and Co. Furthermore, it was shown that an increase of the metal distance results in the loss of synergistic effects and rather single-sited Co catalysis is observed.

Abstract
Iron tetraphenylporphyrin complex modified with four trimethylammonium groups (Fe-p-TMA) is found to be capable of catalyzing the eight-electron eight-proton reduction of CO2 to CH4 photochemically in acetonitrile. In the present work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the reaction mechanism and to rationalize the product selectivity. Our results revealed that the initial catalyst Fe-p-TMA ([Cl-Fe(III)-LR4]4+, where L = tetraphenylporphyrin ligand with a total charge of -2, and R4 = four trimethylammonium groups with a total charge of +4) undergoes three reduction steps, accompanied by the dissociation of the chloride ion to form [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+. [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+, bearing a Fe(II) center ferromagnetically coupled with a tetraphenylporphyrin diradical, performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2 to produce the 1η-CO2 adduct [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+. Two intermolecular proton transfer steps then take place at the CO2 moiety of [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, resulting in the cleavage of the C-O bond and the formation of the critical intermediate [Fe(II)-CO]4+ after releasing a water molecule. Subsequently, [Fe(II)-CO]4+ accepts three electrons and one proton to generate [CHO-Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, which finally undergoes a successive four-electron-five-proton reduction to produce methane without forming formaldehyde, methanol, or formate. Notably, the redox non-innocent tetraphenylporphyrin ligand was found to play an important role in CO2 reduction since it could accept and transfer electron(s) during catalysis, thus keeping the ferrous ion at a relatively high oxidation state. Hydrogen evolution reaction via the formation of Fe-hydride ([Fe(II)-H]3+) turns out to endure a higher total barrier than the CO2 reduction reaction, therefore providing a reasonable explanation for the origin of the product selectivity.

Abstract
Under the action of a catalyst, the photoinduced reduction of CO2 to chemicals and fuels is one of the greenest and environment-friendly approaches for decreasing atmospheric CO2 emissions. Since the environment was affected by the greenhouse effect, scientists have never stopped exploring efficient photoinduced CO2 reduction systems, particularly the highly desired non-noble metal complexes. Most of the currently reported complexes based on non-noble metals exhibit low catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability in aqueous systems under the irradiation of visible light. Herein, we report a new binuclear cobalt complex [Co2(L1)(OAc)2](OAc) (Co2L1, HL1 = 2,6-bis((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-4-methoxyphenol), which accelerates the visible-light-driven conversion of CO2 to CO in acetonitrile/water (4/1, v/v) nearly 40% more than that for the previously reported [Co2(L2)(OAc)2](OAc) (Co2L2, HL2 = 2, 6-bis((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-4-(tert-butyl)phenol) by our research group. It has an excellent CO selectivity of 98%, and the TONCO is as high as 5920. Experimental results and DFT calculations showed that the enhanced catalytic performance of Co2L1 is due to the electron-donating effect of a methoxy group (-OCH3) in Co2L1 compared to a tertiary butyl group (-C(CH3)3) in Co2L2, which reduces the energy barrier of the rate-limiting CO2 coordination step in the visible-light-driven CO2 reduction process.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective catalysts for CO2 reduction is highly desired but remains a significant challenge. The unsaturated coordination metal center in a catalyst is favorable for the process of catalytic CO2 reduction. In this paper, two asymmetric salen ligands were used to synthesize two coordinatively unsaturated Co-salen complexes. The two Co-salen complexes exhibit an unsaturated coordination pattern and display high activity and CO selectivity for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction in a water-containing system. The photocatalytic performance of 2 is higher than that of 1 because the reduction potential of the catalytic CoII center and the energy barrier of the catalytic transition states of 2 are lower than those of 1, with turnover numbers (TONCO), turnover frequencies (TOF), and CO selectivity values of 8640, 0.24 s-1, and 97% for 2, respectively. The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO for 2 is well supported by control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
The formation of Co(III)-thiolate complexes from Co(II)-disulfide complexes using the anionic ligand 8-quinolinolate (quin-) has been studied experimentally and quantum chemically. Two Co(II)-disulfide complexes [Co2(LxSSLx)(Cl)4] (x = 1 or 2; L1SSL1 = 2,2'-disulfanediylbis(N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethan-1-amine; L2SSL2 = 2,2'-disulfanedylbis (N-((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethan-1-amine) have been successfully converted with high yield to their corresponding Co(III)-thiolate complexes upon addition of the ligand 8-quinolinolate. Using density functional theory (DFT) computations the d-orbital splitting energies of the cobalt-thiolate compounds [Co(L1S)(quin)]+ and [Co(L2S)(quin)]+ were estimated to be 3.10 eV and 3.07 eV, indicating a slightly smaller ligand-field strength of ligand L2SSL2 than of L1SSL1. Furthermore, the orientation of the quin- ligand in the thiolate compounds determines the stability of the thiolate complex. DFT computations show that the thiolate structure benefits from more electrostatic attraction when the oxygen atom of the quin- ligand is positioned trans to the sulfur atom of the [Co(L1S)]2+ fragment. Quin- is the first auxiliary ligand with which it appeared possible to induce the redox-conversion reaction in cobalt(II) compounds of the relatively weak-field ligand L2SSL2.

Abstract
Three noble metal-free metal complexes [Fe(Me-bzimpy)2]2+ (Fe1), [Fe(bzimpy)2]2+ (Fe2) and [Zn(Me-bzimpy)2]2+ (Zn1) were synthesized and studied in the visible light-driven CO2 reduction, where ligands bzimpy and Me-bzimpy were 2,6-bis(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine and 2,6-bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine, respectively. It was found that Fe1 displayed the best photocatalytic performance with a turnover number (TON) of 878 and high selectivity up to 99.2% towards CO generation in the presence of an organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) photosensitizer, which was more than 10 times that of Fe2 (TONCO = 63) and Zn1 (TONCO = 53). This is attributed to the much higher stability of Fe1 upon reduction, as proved by the cyclic voltammograms of the three complexes. These results highlight the cooperation of ligands and metals in molecular metal complexes for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
To quickly and drastically reduce CO2 emissions and meet our ambitions of a circular future, we need to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) to deal with the CO2 that we produce. While we have many alternatives to replace fossil feedstocks for energy generation, for materials such as plastics we need carbon. The ultimate circular carbon feedstock would be CO2 . A promising route is the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid derivatives that can subsequently be converted into oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is a potential new platform chemical for material production as useful monomers such as glycolic acid can be derived from it. This work is part of the European Horizon 2020 project "Ocean" in which all these steps are developed. This Review aims to highlight new developments in oxalic acid production processes with a focus on CO2 -based routes. All available processes are critically assessed and compared on criteria including overall process efficiency and triple bottom line sustainability.

Abstract
A family of five new bis-bidentate azole-triazole Rat ligands (1,3-bis(5-(azole)-4-isobutyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzene), varying in choice of azole (2-imidazole, 4-imidazole, 1-methyl-4-imidazole, 4-oxazole and 4-thiazole), and the corresponding family of spin-crossover (SCO) and redox active triply bridged dinuclear helicates, [FeII 2L3]4+, has been prepared and characterised. X-ray crystal structures show all five Fe(ii) helicates are low spin at 100 K. Importantly, DOSY NMR confirms the intactness of these SCO-active dinuclear helicates in D3-MeCN solution, regardless of HS fraction: γ HS(298 K) = 0-0.81. Variable temperature 1H NMR Evans and UV-vis studies reveal that the helicates are SCO-active in MeCN solution. Indeed, the choice of azole in the Rat ligand used in [Fe2L3]4+ tunes: (a) solution SCO T 1/2 from 247 to 471 K, and (b) reversible redox potential, E m(FeII/III), from 0.25 to 0.67 V for four helicates, whilst one has an irreversible redox process, E pa = 0.78 V, vs. 0.01 M AgNO3/Ag. For the four reversible redox systems, a strong correlation (R 2 = 0.99) is observed between T 1/2 and E pa. Finally, the analogous Ni(ii) helicates have been prepared to obtain Δ o, establishing: (a) the ligand field strength order of the ligands: 4-imidazole (11 420) ∼ 1-methyl-4-imidazole (11 430) < 2-imidazole (11 505) ∼ 4-oxazole (11 516) < 4-thiazole (11 804 cm-1), (b) that Δ o ([NiII 2L3]4+) strongly correlates (R 2 = 0.87) with T 1/2 ([FeII 2L3]4+), and (c) interestingly that Δ o strongly correlates (R 2 = 0.98) with E pa for the four helicates with reversible redox, so the stronger the ligand field strength, the harder it is to oxidise the Fe(ii) to Fe(iii).

Abstract
Photocarboxylation of alkyne with carbon dioxide represents a highly attractive strategy to prepare functionalized alkenes with high efficiency and atomic economy. However, the reaction mechanism, especially the sequence of elementary steps (leading to different reaction pathways), reaction modes of the H-transfer step and carboxylation step, spin and charge states of the cobalt catalyst, etc., is still an open question. Herein, density functional theory calculations are carried out to probe the mechanism of the Ir/Co-catalyzed photocarboxylation of alkynes. The overall catalytic cycle mainly consists of four steps: reductive-quenching of the Ir catalyst, hydrogen transfer (rate-determining step), outer sphere carboxylation, and the final catalyst regeneration step. Importantly, the cobalt catalyst can facilitate the H-transfer by an uncommon hydride coupled electron transfer (HCET) process. The pivotal electron delivery effect of the Co center enables a facile H-transfer to the α-C(alkyne) of the aryl group, resulting in the high regioselectivity for β-carboxylation.

Abstract
Earth-abundant Fe, Ni, and Co aza macrocyclic and polypyridine complexes have been thoroughly investigated for CO2 electrochemical and visible-light-driven reduction. Since the first reports in the 1970s, an enormous body of work has been accumulated regarding the two-electron two-proton reduction of the gas, along with mechanistic and spectroscopic efforts to rationalize the reactivity and establish guidelines for structure-reactivity relationships. The ability to fine tune the ligand structure and the almost unlimited possibilities of designing new complexes have led to highly selective and efficient catalysts. Recent efforts toward developing hybrid systems upon combining molecular catalysts with conductive or semi-conductive materials have converged to high catalytic performances in water solutions, to the inclusion of these catalysts into CO2 electrolyzers and photo-electrochemical devices, and to the discovery of catalytic pathways beyond two electrons. Combined with the continuous mechanistic efforts and new developments for in situ and in operando spectroscopic studies, molecular catalysis of CO2 reduction remains a highly creative approach.
