Chelated [Zn(cyclam)]2+Lewis acid improves the reactivity of the electrochemical reduction of CO2by Mn catalysts with bulky bipyridine ligands
Abstract
This communication reports the use of a soluble Lewis acid complex, [Zn(cyclam)]2+(cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) as a co-catalyst coupled with Mn(Mesbpy)(CO)3Br (Mesbpy = 6,6′-dimesityl-2,2′-bipyridine) for the electrochemical reduction of CO2to CO.
