Abstract
AbstractStudies on Mn complexes as electrocatalysts for proton reduction are limited. Mostly Mn complexes have been investigated for CO2 activation. Hence, hydrogen production by three Mn complexes [(Mn(CO)3(μ‐SN2C7H5))2] 1, [(Mn(CO)3(μ‐S2NC7H4))2] 3 and [Mn2(CO)7(μ‐S2NC7H4)2] 4 is reported in the paper. The complexes 1, 3 and 4 effectively catalyzed electrochemical proton reduction in CH3CN with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as the proton source. Complexes 1, 3 and 4 displayed turnover frequency (TOF / s−1) (overpotential, η / V) of 358 (0.83), 111 (0.79) and 102 (0.77), respectively for the catalytic process.
