Planar Ni(II) porphyrinoid complexes have been widely used in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction and oxygen as well hydrogen evolution (HER). However, nonplanar tetra-pyrrolic not thoroughly investigated thus far. In this study, three highly bent bis(dipyrrin) synthesized to investigate their structure, electronic property, electrocatalytic HER activities. Cyclic voltammetry thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry studies revealed four redox processes, yielding two...
Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has attracted increasing interest in past decade. Herein, we report on design and synthesis of Fe porphyrin 1 with an appended N,N-di(2-picolyl)ethylenediamine (DPEN) unit that boosts electrocatalytic activity CO2-to-CO conversion acetonitrile water as proton source.
