Cover Feature: An Iron Porphyrin Complex with Pendant Pyridine Substituents Facilitates Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction via Second Coordination Sphere Effects (ChemCatChem 18/2021)
Abstract:The Cover Feature shows an artist impression of the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 by bispyridine‐bearing Fe porphyrin hangman complexes. In their Full Paper, A. R. Ramuglia et al. describe how this structural design achieves to permanently position metal cations in close vicinity to the Fe active site and thus allows for stabilisation of reaction intermediates, such as the high energy carboxylate intermediate, and hence accelerate the overall catalytic reaction. More information can be found in the Full Pa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
