Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 using Mn complexes with unconventional coordination environments

Abstract

New complexes, Mn{κ3-[2,6-{Ph2PNMe}2(NC5H3)]}(CO)3+Br (1+Br) and MnBr{κ2-(Ph2P)NMe(NC5H4)}(CO)3 (2), are reported and present new ligand environments for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction to CO. Compound 1+ presents a unique metal geometry for CO production (96%) in the absence of added water while 2 required addition of water and generated both CO and H2 products.
