Abstract:Molecular first-row transition metal complexes
for electrocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> reduction mostly feature N-donor supporting
ligands, iron porphyrins being among the most prominent catalysts. Introducing
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligation has previously shown promising effects for
some systems, yet the application of NHC iron complexes for electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub>
reduction has so far remained unreported. Herein we show that the macrocyclic
tetracarbene iron complex [LFe(NCMe… Show more
