Abstract
Implementing the synergistic effects between the metal and the ligand has successfully streamlined the energetics for CO2 activation and gained high catalytic activities, establishing the important breakthroughs in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, we describe a Ni(II) N-confused porphyrin complex (NiNCP) featuring an acidic N-H group. It is readily deprotonated and exists in an anion form during catalysis. Owing to this functional site, NiNCP gave rise to an outstanding turnover number (TON) as high as 217,000 with a 98% selectivity for CO2 reduction to CO, while the parent Ni(II) porphyrin (NiTPP) was found to be nearly inactive. Our mechanistic analysis revealed a nonclassical reaction pattern where CO2 was effectively activated via the attack of the Lewis-basic ligand. The resulting ligand-bound CO2 adduct could be further reduced to produce CO. This new metal-ligand synergistic effect is anticipated to inspire the design of highly active catalysts for small molecule activations.

Abstract
The advantage of a pre-organized π-cavity of Fe(II) complex of a newly developed macrobicycle cryptand is explored for CO2 reduction by overcoming the problem of high overpotential associated with the inert nature of the cryptate. Thus, a bipyridine-centered tritopic macrobicycle having a molecular π-cavity capable of forming Fe(II) complex as well as potential for CO2 encapsulation is synthesized. The inert Fe(II)-cryptate shows much lower potential in cyclic voltammetry than the Fe(II)-tris-dimethylbipyridine (Fe-MBP) core. Interestingly, this cryptate shows electrochemical CO2 reduction at a considerably lower potential than the Fe-MBP inert core. Therefore, this study represents that a well-structured π-cavity may generate a new series of molecular catalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), even with the inert metal complexes.

Abstract
Improving our understanding of how molecules and materials mediate the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to upgraded products is of great interest as a means to address climate change. A leading class of molecules that can facilitate the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO) is iron porphyrins. These molecules can have high rate constants for CO2-to-CO conversion; they are robust, and they rely on abundant and inexpensive synthetic building blocks. Important foundational work has been conducted using chloroiron 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPPCl) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. A related and recent report points out that the corresponding perchlorate complex, FeTPPClO4, can have superior function due to its solubility in other organic solvents. However, the importance of hydrogen bonding and solvent effects was not discussed. Herein, we present a detailed kinetic study of the triflate (CF3SO3-) complex of FeTPP in DMF and in MeCN using a range of phenol Brønsted acid additives. We also detected the formation of Fe(III)TPP-phenolate complexes using cyclic voltammetry experiments. Importantly, our new analysis of apparent rate constants with different added phenols allows for a modification to the established mechanistic model for CO2-to-CO conversion. Critically, our improved model accounts for hydrogen bonding and solvent effects by using simple hydrogen bond acidity and basicity descriptors. We use this augmented model to rationalize function in other reported porphyrin systems and to make predictions about operational conditions that can enhance the CO2 reduction chemistry.

Abstract
While native CO2 -reducing enzymes display remarkable catalytic efficiency and product selectivity, few artificial biocatalysts have been engineered to allow understanding how the native enzymes work. To address this issue, we report cobalt porphyrin substituted myoglobin (CoMb) as a homogeneous catalyst for photo-driven CO2 to CO conversion in water. The activity and product selectivity were optimized by varying pH and concentrations of the enzyme and the photosensitizer. Up to 2000 TON(CO) was attained at low enzyme concentrations with low product selectivity (15 %), while a product selectivity of 74 % was reached by increasing the enzyme loading but with a compromised TON(CO). The efficiency of CO generation and overall TON(CO) were further improved by introducing positively charged residues (Lys or Arg) near the active stie of CoMb, which demonstrates the value of tuning the enzyme secondary coordination sphere to enhance the CO2 -reducing performance of a protein-based photocatalytic system.

Abstract
Microenvironments tailored by multifunctional secondary coordination sphere groups can enhance catalytic performance at primary metal active sites in natural systems. Here, we capture this biological concept in synthetic systems by developing a family of iron porphyrins decorated with imidazolium (im) pendants for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), which promotes multiple synergistic effects to enhance CO2 RR and enables the disentangling of second-sphere contributions that stem from each type of interaction. Fe-ortho-im(H), which poises imidazolium units featuring both positive charge and hydrogen-bond capabilities proximal to the active iron center, increases CO2 binding affinity by 25-fold and CO2 RR activity by 2000-fold relative to the parent Fe tetraphenylporphyrin (Fe-TPP). Comparison with monofunctional analogs reveals that through-space charge effects have a greater impact on catalytic CO2 RR performance compared to hydrogen bonding in this context.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising platforms for heterogeneous tethering of molecular CO2 reduction electrocatalysts. Yet, to further understand electrocatalytic MOF systems, one also needs to consider their capability to fine‐tune the immediate chemical environment of the active site, and thus affect its overall catalytic operation. Here, we show that electrostatic secondary‐sphere functionalities enable substantial improvement of CO2‐to‐CO conversion activity and selectivity. In situ Raman analysis reveal that immobilization of pendent positively‐charged groups adjacent to MOF‐residing Fe‐porphyrin catalysts, stabilize weakly‐bound CO intermediates, allowing their rapid release as catalytic products. Also, by varying the electrolyte's ionic strength, systematic regulation of electrostatic field magnitude was achieved, resulting in essentially 100 % CO selectivity. Thus, this concept provides a sensitive molecular‐handle that adjust heterogeneous electrocatalysis on demand.

Abstract
Bicarbonate-based electrolytes are ubiquitous in aqueous electrochemical CO2 reduction, particularly in heterogenous catalysis, where they demonstrate improved catalytic performance relative to other buffers. In contrast, the presence of bicarbonate in organic electrolytes and its roles in homogeneous electrocatalysis remain underexplored. Here, we investigate the influence of bicarbonate on iron porphyrin-catalyzed electrochemical CO2 reduction. We show that bicarbonate is a viable proton donor in organic electrolyte (pKa = 20.8 in dimethyl sulfoxide) and that urea pendants in the second coordination sphere can be used to template bicarbonate in the vicinity of a molecular iron porphyrin catalyst. The templated binding of bicarbonate increases its acidity, resulting in a 1500-fold enhancement in catalytic rates relative to unmodified parent iron porphyrin. This work emphasizes the importance of bicarbonate speciation in wet organic electrolytes and establishes second-sphere bicarbonate templating as a design strategy to harness this adventitious acid and enhance CO2 reduction catalysis.

Abstract
Nature utilizes a diverse set of tetrapyrrole-based macrocycles (referred to as porphyrinoids) for catalyzing various biological processes. Investigation of the differences in electronic structure and reactivity in these reactions have revealed striking differences that lead to diverse reactivity from, apparently, similar looking active sites. Therefore, the role of the different heme cofactors as well as the distal superstructure in the proteins is important to understand. This article summarizes the role of a few synthetic metallo-porphyrinoids towards catalyzing several small molecule activation reactions, such as the ORR, NiRR, CO2RR, etc. The major focus of the article is to enlighten the synthetic routes to the well-decorated active-site mimic in a tailor-made fashion pursuing a retrosynthetic approach, learning from the biosynthesis of the cofactors. Techniques and the role of the second-sphere residues on the reaction rate, selectivity, etc. are incorporated emulating the basic amino acid residues fencing the active sites. These bioinspired mimics play an important role towards understanding the role of the prosthetic groups as well as the basic residues towards any reaction occurring in Nature.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis is an indispensable technique for small-molecule transformations, which are essential for the sustainability of society. Electrocatalysis utilizes electricity as an energy source for chemical reactions. Hydrogen is considered the “fuel for the future,” and designing electrocatalysts for hydrogen production has thus become critical. Furthermore, fuel cells are promising energy solutions that require robust electrocatalysts for key fuel cell reactions such as the interconversion of oxygen to water. Concerns regarding the rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide have prompted the search for CO2 conversion methods. One promising approach is the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into commodity chemicals and/or liquid fuels, but such chemistry is highly energy demanding because of the thermodynamic stability of CO2. All of the above-mentioned electrocatalytic processes rely on the selective input of multiple protons (H+) and electrons (e–) to yield the desired products. Biological enzymes evolved in nature to perform such redox catalysis and have inspired the design of catalysts at the molecular and atomic levels. While it is synthetically challenging to mimic the exact biological environment, incorporating functional outer coordination spheres into molecular catalysts has shown promise for advancing multi-H+ and multi-e– electrocatalysis. From this Perspective, herein, catalysts with outer coordination sphere(s) are selected as the inspiration for developing new catalysts, particularly for the reductive conversion of H+, O2, and CO2, which are highly relevant to sustainability. The recent progress in electrocatalysis and opportunities to explore beyond the second coordination sphere are also emphasized.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to generate fixed forms of carbons that have commercial value is a lucrative avenue to ameliorate the growing concerns about the detrimental effect of CO2 emissions as well as to generate carbon-based feed chemicals, which are generally obtained from the petrochemical industry. The area of electrochemical CO2RR has seen substantial activity in the past decade, and several good catalysts have been reported. While the focus was initially on the rate and overpotential of electrocatalysis, it is gradually shifting toward the more chemically challenging issue of selectivity. CO2 can be partially reduced to produce several C1 products like CO, HCOOH, CH3OH, etc. before its complete 8e-/8H+ reduction to CH4. In addition to that, the low-valent electron-rich metal centers deployed to activate CO2, a Lewis acid, are prone to reduce protons, which are a substrate for CO2RR, leading to competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Similarly, the low-valent metal is prone to oxidation by atmospheric O2 (i.e., it can catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction, ORR), necessitating strictly anaerobic conditions for CO2RR. Not only is the requirement of O2-free reaction conditions impractical, but it also leads to the release of partially reduced O2 species such as O2-, H2O2, etc., which are reactive and result in oxidative degradation of the catalyst.In this Account, mechanistic investigations of CO2RR by detecting and, often, chemically trapping and characterizing reaction intermediates are used to understand the factors that determine the selectivity in CO2RR. The spectroscopic data obtained from different intermediates have been identified in different CO2RR catalysts to develop an electronic structure selectivity relationship that is deemed to be important for deciding the selectivity of 2e-/2H+ CO2RR. The roles played by the spin state, hydrogen bonding, and heterogenization in determining the rate and selectivity of CO2RR (producing only CO, only HCOOH, or only CH4) are discussed using examples of both iron porphyrin and non-heme bioinspired artificial mimics. In addition, strategies are demonstrated where the competition between CO2RR and HER as well as CO2RR and ORR could be skewed overwhelmingly in favor of CO2RR in both cases.

Abstract
Sustainable fuel production from CO2 through electrocatalytic reduction is promising but challenging due to high overpotential and poor product selectivity. Herein, we computed the reaction free energies of electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO and HCOO- using the density functional theory method and screened transition metal(M)-cyclam(L) complexes as molecular catalysts for CO2 reduction. Our results showed that pKa of the proton adduct formed by the protonation of the reduced metal center can be used as a descriptor to select the operating pH of the solution to steer the reaction toward either the CO or hydride cycle. Among the complexes, [LNi]2+ and [LPd]2+ catalyze the reactions by following the CO cycle and are the CO selective catalysts in the pH ranges 1.81-7.31 and 6.10 and higher, respectively. Among the complexes that catalyze the reactions by following the hydride cycle, [LMo]2+ and [LW]3+ are HCOO- selective catalysts and have low limiting potentials of -1.33 V and -1.54 V, respectively. Other complexes, including [LRh]2+, [LIr]2+, [LW]2+, [LCo]2+, and [LTc]2+ catalyze the reactions resulting in either HCOO- from CO2 reduction or H2 from proton reduction; however, HCOO- formation is always thermodynamically more favorable. Notably, [LMo]2+, [LW]3+, [LW]2+ and [LCo]2+ have limiting potentials less negative than -1.6 V and are based on Earth-abundant elements, making them attractive for practical application.

Abstract
Since decades, the global community has been facing an environmental crisis, resulting in the need to switch from outdated to new, more efficient energy sources and a more effective way of tackling the rising carbon dioxide emissions. The activation of small molecules such as O2, H+, and CO2 in a cost—and energy-efficient way has become one of the key topics of catalysis research. The main issue concerning the activation of these molecules is the kinetic barrier that has to be overcome in order for the catalyzed reaction to take place. Nature has already provided many pathways in which small molecules are being activated and changed into compounds with higher energy levels. One of the most famous examples would be photosynthesis in which CO2 is transformed into glucose and O2 through sunlight, thus turning solar energy into chemical energy. For these transformations nature mostly uses enzymes that function as catalysts among which porphyrin and porphyrin-like structures can be found. Therefore, the research focus lies on the design of novel porphyrinoid systems (e.g. corroles, porphyrins and phthalocyanines) whose metal complexes can be used for the direct electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to valuable chemicals like carbon monoxide, formate, methanol, ethanol, methane, ethylene, or acetate. For example the cobalt(III)triphenylphosphine corrole complex has been used as a catalyst for the electroreduction of CO2 to ethanol and methanol. The overall goal and emphasis of this research area is to develop a method for industrial use, raising the question of whether and how to incorporate the catalyst onto supportive materials. Graphene oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon black, and activated carbon, to name a few examples, have become researched options. These materials also have a beneficial effect on the catalysis through for instance preventing rival reactions such as the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) during CO2 reduction. It is very apparent that the topic of small molecule activation offers many solutions for our current energy as well as environmental crises and is becoming a thoroughly investigated research objective. This review article aims to give an overview over recently gained knowledge and should provide a glimpse into upcoming challenges relating to this subject matter.

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
In this work, the electrocatalytic reduction of dichloromethane (CH2 Cl2 ) into hydrocarbons involving a main group element-based molecular triazole-porphyrin electrocatalyst H2PorT8 is reported. This catalyst converted CH2 Cl2 in acetonitrile to various hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, and ethylene) with a Faradaic efficiency of 70 % and current density of -13 mA cm-2 at a potential of -2.2 V vs. Fc/Fc+ using water as a proton source. The findings of this study and its mechanistic interpretations demonstrated that H2PorT8 was an efficient and stable catalyst for the hydrodechlorination of CH2 Cl2 and that main group catalysts could be potentially used for exploring new catalytic reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
In his pioneering work to unravel the catalytic power of enzymes, Warshel has pertinently validated that electrostatic interactions play a major role in the activation of substrates. Implementing such chemical artifice in molecular catalysts may help improve their catalytic properties. In this study, a series of tetra-, di-, and mono-substituted iron porphyrins with cationic imidazolium groups were designed. Their presence in the second coordination sphere helped stabilize the [Fe-CO2 ] intermediate through electrostatic interactions. It was found herein that the electrocatalytic overpotential is a function of the number of embarked imidazolium. Importantly, a gain of six orders of magnitude in turnover frequencies was observed going from a tetra- to a mono-substituted catalyst. Furthermore, the comparative study showed that catalytic performances trend of through-space electrostatic interaction, a first topological effect reported for iron porphyrins, outperforms the classical through-structure electronic effect.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is a sustainable approach for transforming atmospheric CO2 into chemical feedstocks and fuels. To overcome the kinetic barriers of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, catalysts with high selectivity, activity, and stability are needed. Here, we report an iron porphyrin complex, FePEGP, with a poly(ethylene glycol) unit in the second coordination sphere, as a highly selective and active electrocatalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO). Controlled-potential electrolysis using FePEGP showed a Faradaic efficiency of 98% and a current density of -7.8 mA/cm2 at -2.2 V versus Fc/Fc+ in acetonitrile using water as the proton source. The maximum turnover frequency was calculated to be 1.4 × 105 s-1 using foot-of-the-wave analysis. Distinct from most other catalysts, the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) study revealed that the protonation step of the Fe-CO2 adduct is not involved in the rate-limiting step. This model shows that the PEG unit as the secondary coordination sphere enhances the catalytic kinetics and thus is an effective design for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

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
The control of the second coordination sphere in a coordination complex plays an important role in improving catalytic efficiency. Herein, we report a zinc porphyrin complex ZnPor8T with multiple flexible triazole units comprising the second coordination sphere, as an electrocatalyst for the highly selective electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to carbon monoxide (CO). This electrocatalyst converted CO2 to CO with a Faradaic efficiency of 99 % and a current density of -6.2 mA cm-2 at -2.4 V vs. Fc/Fc+ in N,N-dimethylformamide using water as the proton source. Structure-function relationship studies were carried out on ZnPor8T analogs containing different numbers of triazole units and distinct triazole geometries; these unveiled that the triazole units function cooperatively to stabilize the CO2 -catalyst adduct in order to facilitate intramolecular proton transfer. Our findings demonstrate that incorporating triazole units that function in a cooperative manner is a versatile strategy to enhance the activity of electrocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The reduction of carbon dioxide represents an ambitious target, with potential impact on several of the United Nations' sustainable development goals including climate action, renewable energy, sustainable cities, and communities. This process shares a common issue with other redox reactions involved in energy-related schemes (i.e., proton reduction to hydrogen and water oxidation to oxygen), that is, the need for a catalyst in order to proceed at sustainable rates. Moreover, the reduction of CO2 faces an additional selectivity complication, since several products can be formed, including carbon monoxide, formic acid/formate, methanol, and methane. In this Mini-Review, we will discuss iron-based molecular catalysts that catalyze the reduction of CO2, focusing in particular on the selectivity of the processes, which is rationalized and guided on the basis of the reaction mechanism. Inspired by the active sites of carbon monoxide dehydrogenases, several synthetic systems have been proposed for the reduction of CO2; these are discussed in terms of key intermediates such as iron hydrides or Fe-CO2 adducts, where the ligand coordination motif, together with the presence of co-additives such as Brønsted acids, nucleophiles, or CO2 trapping moieties, can guide the selectivity of the reaction. A mechanistic comparison is traced with heterogeneous iron single-atom catalysts. Perspectives on the use of molecular catalysts in devices for sustainable reduction of CO2 are finally given.

Abstract
The effects of primary and second coordination spheres on molecular electrocatalysis have been extensively studied, yet investigations of third functional spheres are rarely reported. Here, an electrocatalyst (ZnPEG8T) was developed with a hydrophilic channel as a third functional sphere that facilitates relay proton shuttling to the primary and second coordination spheres for enhanced catalytic CO2 reduction. Using foot-of-the-wave analysis, the ZnPEG8T catalyst displayed CO2 -to-CO activity (TOFmax ) thirty times greater than that of the benchmark catalyst without a third functional sphere. A kinetic isotopic effect (KIE) study, in conjunction with voltammetry and UV/Vis spectroscopy, uncovered that the rate-limiting step was not the protonation step of the metallocarboxylate intermediate, as observed in many other molecular CO2 reduction electrocatalysts, but rather the replenishment of protons in the proton-shuttling channel. Controlled-potential electrolysis using ZnPEG8T displayed a faradaic efficiency of 100 % for CO2 -to-CO conversion at -2.4 V vs. Fc/Fc+ . A Tafel plot was also generated for a comparison to other reported molecular catalysts. This report validates a strategy for incorporating higher functional spheres for enhanced catalytic efficiency in proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions.

Abstract
Hangman porphyrins influence the reaction rates of small molecule activation by positioning a functional group in the secondary coordination sphere of the metal center. Electrocatalysis by hangman porphyrins has examined only one face modification of the macrocycle with a hanging group, thus allowing for circumvention of secondary sphere effects by reaction of the small molecule on the opposite face of the hangman cleft. We now report the synthesis and characterization of a double hangman Fe porphyrin in which both faces of the macrocycle are modified with a hanging group. With this double hangman architecture, we are able to unequivocally examine the role of electrostatic interactions on the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) and show that CO2RR rates are significantly attenuated, consistent with the initial reduction of CO2 to generate the anion, whose binding is diminished within the negatively charged carboxylic groups of the hangman cleft. The results demonstrate the pronounced role that nonbonding electrostatic interactions may play in CO2RR and highlight the need to manage deleterious electrostatic interactions during catalytic turnover.

Abstract
Research in the development of new molecular catalysts for the selective transformation of CO2 to reduced forms of carbon is attracting enormous interest from chemists. Molecular catalyst design hinges on the elaboration of ligand scaffolds to manipulate the electronic and structural properties for the fine tuning of the reactivity pattern. A cornucopia of ligand sets have been designed along this line and more and more are being reported. In this quest, the porphyrin molecular platform has been under intensive focus due to the unmatched catalytic properties of metalloporphyrins. There have been rapid advances in this particular field during the last few years wherein both electronic and structural aspects in the second coordination spheres have been addressed to shift the overpotential and improve the catalytic rates and product selectivity. Metalloporphyrins have also attracted much attention in terms of the elaboration of hybrid materials for heterogeneous catalysis. Here too, some promising activities have made metalloporphyrin derivatives serious candidates for technological implementation. This review collects the recent advances centred around the chemistry of metalloporphyrins for the reduction of CO2.

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