A clam-shaped molecule comprising a Zn(II)-porphyrin and a Zn(II)-cyclam is synthesized and characterized. Its electrochemical behavior and catalytic activity for homogeneous electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO[Formula: see text] are investigated by cyclic voltammetry and compared with those of Zn(II)-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin and Zn(II)-cyclam. Under N2-saturated conditions, cyclic voltammetry of the featured complex has characteristics of its two constituents, but under CO2-saturated conditions, the target compound exhibits significant current enhancement. Iterative reduction under electrochemical conditions indicated the target compound has improved stability relative to Zn(II)-cyclam. Controlled potential electrolysis demonstrates that, without addition of water, methane (CH[Formula: see text] is the only detectable product with 1% Faradaic efficiency (FE). The formation of CH4 is not observed under the catalysis of the Zn(II)-porphyrin benchmark compound, indicating that the CO2-capturing function of the Zn(II)-cyclam unit contributes to the catalysis. Upon addition of 3% v/v water, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 in the presence of the target compound gives carbon monoxide (CO) with 28% FE. Dominance of CO formation under these conditions suggests enhancement of proton-coupled reduction. Integrated action of these Zn(II)-porphyrin and Zn(II)-cyclam units offers a notable example of a molecular catalytic system where the cyclam ring captures and brings CO2 into the proximity of the porphyrin catalysis center.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2ER) is amongst one the most promising technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions since carbon dioxide (CO2) can be converted to value-added products. Moreover, the possibility of using a renewable source of energy makes this process environmentally compelling. CO2ER in ionic liquids (ILs) has recently attracted attention due to its unique properties in reducing overpotential and raising faradaic efficiency. The current literature on CO2ER mainly reports on the effect of structures, physical and chemical interactions, acidity, and the electrode–electrolyte interface region on the reaction mechanism. However, in this work, new insights are presented for the CO2ER reaction mechanism that are based on the molecular interactions of the ILs and their physicochemical properties. This new insight will open possibilities for the utilization of new types of ionic liquids. Additionally, the roles of anions, cations, and the electrodes in the CO2ER reactions are also reviewed.

Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) is a potentially useful step in the desirable transformation of the greenhouse gas to fuels and commodity chemicals. We have found that modification of iron tetraphenylporphyrin through the introduction of phenolic groups in all ortho and ortho′ positions of the phenyl groups considerably speeds up catalysis of this reaction by the electrogenerated iron(0) complex. The catalyst, which uses one of the most earth-abundant metals, manifests a CO faradaic yield above 90% through 50 million turnovers over 4 hours of electrolysis at low overpotential (0.465 volt), with no observed degradation. The basis for the enhanced activity appears to be the high local concentration of protons associated with the phenolic hydroxyl substituents.
