This critical review discusses the thermal and photocatalytic mechanisms of one-, two-, four-, six- and eight-electron reduction of CO2 with metal complex catalysts.
Correction for ‘Aqueous electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using metal complexes dispersed in polymer ion gels’ by Shunsuke Sato et al., Chem. Commun., 2020, DOI: 10.1039/d0cc00791a.
In this study, a convenient approach is proposed to tune the properties of ion gels by utilizing mixed ionic liquid (IL) systems. Herein, a binary IL system consisting of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium...
The CO2 reduction capabilities of transition-metal-chelated nitrogen-substituted carbon nanotube models (TM-4N2v-CNT, TM = Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pt or Cu) are characterized by density functional theory.
Herein, we summarize the photo- and electrochemical protocols for dehydrogenation and hydrogenations involving carbonyl and imine functions. The three basic principles that have been explored to interconvert such moieties with transition metal complexes are discussed in detail and the substrate scope is evaluated. Furthermore, we describe some general thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of such electro- and photochemically driven reactions.
