A Highly Active N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Manganese(I) Complex for Selective Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction to CO

Abstract: We report here the first purely organometallic fac‐[MnI(CO)3(bis‐MeNHC)Br] complex with unprecedented activity for the selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, exceeding 100 turnovers with excellent faradaic yields (η CO≈95 %) in anhydrous CH3CN. Under the same conditions, a maximum turnover frequency (TOFmax) of 2100 s−1 was measured by cyclic voltammetry, which clearly exceeds the values reported for other manganese‐based catalysts. Moreover, the addition of water leads to the highest TOFmax value … Show more

“…[3] Theo ne-electron reduction of CO 2 occurs only at very cathodic potential values,m ainly because of the energy penalty associated with bending of the linear molecule upon electron uptake to furnish the [CO 2 ]C À radical. [7][8][9][10] Since the advent of frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry, increasing efforts have been devoted to the replacement of transition-metal catalysts by appropriate combinations of main-group Lewis acids and bases.I nt he context of CO 2 activation, ap lethora of capture products such as R 3 P-C(O)-O-BR' 3 are nowadays known. [1a] Some transition-metal com-pounds can act as nucleophiles toward CO 2 molecules and thereby transfer two electrons simultaneously onto the substrate,w hich is afterwards stabilized through p backbonding (see below).…”

“…In particular, manganese‐mediated hydrosilylation reactions have proved to be a convenient method for the reduction of carbonyl groups, including aldehydes and ketones, esters, amides, carboxylic acids, CO 2 , and C=C/C≡unsaturated bonds . Last year, we disclosed the excellent reactivity of Mn(I) complexes supported by bidentate NHC ligands (NHC=N‐heterocyclic carbene) in the catalytic reduction of carbonyl groups . Motivated by these findings, we became interested in further exploring the potential of [Mn(bis‐NHC)(CO) 3 Br] complexes in reductions with silanes.…”
