Spectroscopic and electrochemical investigation of electrocatalytic proton reduction by Fe2(μ-pdt)(CO)6, 1, have been interpreted in terms of a reaction scheme involving sequential electron–proton reactions to give a two-electron, two-proton product that undergoes rate-limiting dihydrogen elimination. Further reduction, at slightly higher negative potentials, gives a more reactive product and this process dominates reactions conducted at higher acid concentrations. Inhibition of the electrocatalytic reaction by CO is due to the more efficient loss of catalyst and this is best modelled by a reaction that is second order in terms of 1−. During electrocatalytic proton reduction a new species is observed, which features a bridging CO group and the wavenumbers of the ν(CO) modes of the terminally bound carbonyl groups are similar to those of the carbonyl groups bound to the oxidized form of the H-cluster.

We present a bioinspired strategy for enhancing electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction catalysis by cooperative use of base-metal molecular catalysts with intermolecular second-sphere redox mediators that facilitate both electron and proton transfer. Functional synthetic mimics of the biological redox cofactor NADH, which are electrochemically stable and are capable of mediating both electron and proton transfer, can enhance the activity of an iron porphyrin catalyst for electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO, achieving a 13-fold rate improvement without altering the intrinsic high selectivity of this catalyst platform for CO<sub>2</sub> versus proton reduction. Evaluation of a systematic series of NADH analogs and redox-inactive control additives with varying proton and electron reservoir properties reveals that both electron and proton transfer contribute to the observed catalytic enhancements. This work establishes that second-sphere dual control of electron and proton inventories is a viable design strategy for developing more effective electrocatalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, providing a starting point for broader applications of this approach to other multi-electron, multi-proton transformations.
