Tuning Second-Sphere Amine Basicity to Modulate Hydride Intermediates and Selectivity in Molecular Manganese Bipyridine CO2 Electroreduction
Manganese bipyridine tricarbonyl complexes represent a prominent class of molecular electrocatalysts for efficient and selective CO2-to-CO conversion. Recent efforts have sought to redirect product selectivity toward HCOOH by incorporating second-sphere amine proton relays. However, how the physicochemical properties...
