<p>The optical and electrochemical properties, as well as the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction capability of two different iron(III) thienyl-porphyrins, iron(III) tetra(<i>meso</i>-thien-2-yl)porphyrin (<b>FeTThP</b>) and iron(III) tetra(<i>meso</i>-5-methylthien-2-yl)porphyrin (<b>FeTThMeP</b>), are directly compared to those of iron(III) tetra(<i>meso</i>-phenyl)porphyrin (<b>FeTPP</b>). Through exploitation of mesomeric stabilization effects, <b>FeTThP</b> and <b>FeTThMeP</b> both reduced CO<sub>2</sub> to CO with comparable faradaic efficiencies and TON<sub>CO</sub> <sub> </sub>relative to <b>FeTPP</b>, with an overpotential 150 mV lower than the benchmark catalyst. </p>

Iron(III) tetra(5,10,15,20-thienyl)porphyrin chloride (FeTThP) is introduced as a new CO<sub>2</sub> reduction catalyst. The optical and electrochemical properties, as well as the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction capabilities of FeTThP are directly compared to those of iron(III) tetra(5,10,15,20-phenyl)porphyrin chloride (FeTPP). Relative to FeTPP, the newly developed FeTThP achieves a higher TON<sub>CO</sub>, with comparable faradaic efficiency, using a much lower overpotential.

We present a bioinspired strategy for enhancing electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction catalysis by cooperative use of base-metal molecular catalysts with intermolecular second-sphere redox mediators that facilitate both electron and proton transfer. Functional synthetic mimics of the biological redox cofactor NADH, which are electrochemically stable and are capable of mediating both electron and proton transfer, can enhance the activity of an iron porphyrin catalyst for electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO, achieving a 13-fold rate improvement without altering the intrinsic high selectivity of this catalyst platform for CO<sub>2</sub> versus proton reduction. Evaluation of a systematic series of NADH analogs and redox-inactive control additives with varying proton and electron reservoir properties reveals that both electron and proton transfer contribute to the observed catalytic enhancements. This work establishes that second-sphere dual control of electron and proton inventories is a viable design strategy for developing more effective electrocatalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, providing a starting point for broader applications of this approach to other multi-electron, multi-proton transformations.
