One approach for the conversion of CO 2 into fuels or fuel precursors is the proton-coupled
reduction of CO 2 to CO or formic acid, using transition metal complexes as catalysts in …

Designing multifunctional materials that mimic the light‐dark decoupling of natural
photosynthesis is a key challenge in the field of energy conversion. Herein, we introduce …

Well‐defined manganese (I) carbonyl complexes bearing bis‐N‐heterocyclic carbene
(NHC) ligands are shown to be effective catalysts for the reduction of carbonyl groups …

In this work, we review recent studies in the field of computational solvation. Methods at
different scales from ab initio to force field calculations with both implicit solvent and explicit …

Supramolecular photocatalysts for CO2 reduction, constituted of redox photosensitizer,
catalyst, and bridging ligand, play crucial roles in constructing hybrid systems with solid …

Without the use of a photosensitizer,[Mn (bpy)(CO) 3 (CN)](MnCN) can photochemically form
[Mn (bpy)(CO) 3]−, the active species for CO2 reduction. While cases of the axial X-ligand …

Tricarbonylmanganese (I) complexes are known to be robust photo-activated CO releasing
molecules, or photoCORMs, yet their photochemical ligand exchange mechanisms as a …

Two diimine-bridged Ru (II), Mn (I) complexes with a [(bpy) 2Ru (BL) Mn (CO) 3Br] 2+
architecture, where bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine and BL= 2, 3-bis (2-pyridyl) pyrazine (dpp; Ru …

For CO2 electrocatalysts of the form fac-[Mn (diimine)(CO) 3Br], we previously reported that
expanding the π-system of the chelating ligand from 2, 2′-bipyridine (bpy) to 2-(2-pyridyl) …

The complex,[{[Mn (bpy)(CO) 3] 2}(μ-CN)]+(Mn2CN+), has previously been shown to
photochemically reduce CO2 to CO. The detailed mechanism behind its reactivity was not …
