Abstract
Ru(2,2′-bipyridine) 2[2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole] 2+ is highly active for electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2, while the 1-methylbenzimidazole analogue exhibits no activity. Comparison of the redox potentials for these two complexes suggests that reaction with CO 2 may occur at the -S- of the benzothiazole ligand and this hypothesis is supported by results for Ru(2,2′-bipyridine) 2(2,2′-bithiazole) 2+ and Ru ( 2 , 2 ′ -bithiazole ) 3 2 + , which are both active for CO 2 reduction.
