Abstract

A well-defined PN³-Ru pincer complex (5) bearing a redox-active bipyridine ligand with an aminophosphine arm has been established as an effective and stable molecular electrocatalyst for CO₂ reduction to CO and HCOOH with negligible formation of H₂ in a H₂O/MeCN mixture. Done in a pince: A PN³-Ru pincer complex (see figure) has been found to show high activity and stability as a molecular electrocatalyst for CO₂ reduction to CO and HCOOH in MeCN/H₂O.
