The rhenium complex fac-(5, 5′-bisphenylethynyl-2, 2′-bipyridyl) Re (CO) 3Cl was used
as a novel catalyst for the electro-and photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO in
homogeneous solution. The results were compared to (2, 2′-bipyridyl) Re (CO) 3Cl as a
benchmark compound. Cyclic voltammetric studies as well as bulk controlled potential
electrolysis experiments were performed using a CO2 saturated solution in acetonitrile.(5,
5′-bisphenylethynyl-2, 2′-bipyridyl) Re (CO) 3Cl showed a 6.5-fold increase in current …
