The electrocatalytic reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> is an appealing method for converting renewable energy sources into value-added chemical feedstocks. We report a co-electrocatalytic system for the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO comprised of a molecular Cr complex and dibenzothiophene-5,5-dioxide (DBTD) as a redox mediator which achieves high activity (TOF = 1.51-2.84 x 10<sup>5</sup> s<sup>–1</sup>) and quantitative selectivity. Under aprotic or protic conditions, DBTD produces a co-electrocatalytic response with <b>1</b> by coordinating <i>trans</i> to the site of CO<sub>2</sub> binding and mediating electron transfer from the electrode with quantitative efficiency for CO. This assembly is reliant on through-space electronic conjugation between the <i>π</i> frameworks of DBTD and the bpy fragment of the catalyst ligand, with contributions from dispersive interactions and weak sulfone coordination. The resulting interaction stabilizes a key intermediate in a new aprotic catalytic pathway and lowers the energy of the rate-determining transition state under protic conditions. To the best of our knowledge through-space electronic conjugation has not been explored in molecular electrocatalytic systems.<br>

A novel metal organic framework (MOF)-derived porous copper/zinc bimetallic oxide catalyst was developed for the photoreduction of CO2 to methanol at a very fast rate of 3.71 mmol gcat−1 h−1. This kind of photocatalyst with high activity, selectivity and a simple preparation catalyst provides promising photocatalyst candidates for reducing CO2 to methanol.

A variety of solid acid catalysts especially 12-Tungstophosphoricacid (DTP) supported on silica has been reported for the acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene. However, the activity of this catalyst is susceptible to coke formation or poor activity. This paper reports the novelties of steam treated SiO2-DTP core-shell nanoparticles, which exhibits tremendous stability, high activity and enhanced selectivity in the liquid-phase acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene as compared to conventional DTP supported on silica.
