Two-Electron Carbon Dioxide Reduction Catalyzed by Rhenium(I) Bis(imino)acenaphthene Carbonyl Complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes carrying substituted bis(arylimino)acenaphthene ligands (BIAN-R) have been tested as potential catalysts for the two-electron reduction of carbon dioxide. Cyclic voltammetric studies as well as controlled potential electrolysis experiments were performed using CO2-saturated solutions of the complexes in acetonitrile and acetonitrile-water mixtures. Faradaic efficiencies of more than 30 % have been determined for the electrocatalytic production of CO. The effects of ligand substitution patterns and water content of the reaction medium on the catalytic performance of the new catalysts are discussed.

متن کاملPhotochemical and electrochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 with NHC-containing dicarbonyl rhenium(i) bipyridine complexes.
The electrochemical and photochemical catalytic reductions of CO2 using N,O and N,S-NHC-containing dicarbonyl rhenium(i) bipyridine complexes have been investigated. By replacing the carbonyl ligand in tricarbonyl rhenium(i) complexes with a weaker π-accepting ligand, the characteristic MLCT transitions shifted to lower energy. This makes photocatalysts capable of harvesting low-energy visible ...
متن کاملInterfacial photoreduction of supercritical CO2 by an aqueous catalyst.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions currently represent a major concern. Accordingly, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is a reaction of major relevance and also of great challenges. Considering the redox potentials required for reducing CO2, multi-electron-transfer, multiproton reactions are the most viable pathways for driving CO2 reduction. [2] Nonetheless, catalysts must be employed to overco...
متن کاملExceptionally rapid CO release from a manganese(I) tricarbonyl complex derived from bis(4-chloro-phenylimino)acenaphthene upon exposure to visible light.
Two manganese(i) carbonyl complexes derived from α,α'-diimine ligands with extended conjugated framework namely [MnBr(CO)3(BIAN)] () and [MnBr(CO)3(MIAN)] (), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Unlike the previously reported photoactive CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs), these two complexes exhibit unusually high sensitivity toward low power (0.3-10 mW) visible light (λ ≥ 5...
