Palladium-anchored donor-flexible pyridylidene amide (PYA) electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction.

ABSTRACT: The conversion of CO₂ into CO as a substitute for processing fossil fuels to produce hydrocarbons is a sustainable, carbon neutral energy technology. However, the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ into a synthesis gas (CO and H₂) at a commercial scale requires an efficient electrocatalyst. In this perspective, a series of six new palladium complexes with the general formula [Pd(L)(Y)]Y, where L is a donor-flexible PYA, N²,N⁶-bis(1-ethylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide, N²,N⁶-bis(1-butylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide, or N²,N⁶-bis(1-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide, and Y = OAc
