The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals, specifically C2 and C3, through metal-free electrocatalysis remains a formidable challenge. Breaking away from traditional transition metal complexes, the focus is on designing selecting efficient organic catalysts. In this pursuit, diazo-based bulky ligand emerges as promising candidate, offering solution that both sustainable renewable. key feature its low-lying π* (LUMO), enabling it to readily accept an electron in...

Two π‐radical complexes containing bisazo‐aromatic‐centered radical anion (1•−) were synthesized through in‐situ electron transfer from metal‐to‐ligand using [IrI] and 2‐(2‐Pyridylazo)azobenzene (1) in inert hydrocarbon solvent. These are characterized as diradical [IrIII(1•−)2]+[2]+ monoradical [IrIII(1•−)Cl2(PPh3)] 3.
