Bioinspired Binickel Catalyst for Carbon Dioxide Reduction: The Importance of Metal-ligand Cooperation.

ABSTRACT: Catalyst design for the efficient CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) remains a crucial challenge for the conversion of CO₂ to fuels. Natural Ni-Fe carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (NiFe-CODH) achieves reversible conversion of CO₂ and CO at nearly thermodynamic equilibrium potential, which provides a template for developing CO₂RR catalysts. However, compared with the natural enzyme, most biomimetic synthetic Ni-Fe complexes exhibit negligible CO₂RR catalytic activities, which emphasizes the significance of effective bimetallic cooperation for CO₂ activation. Enlightened by bimetallic synergy, we herein report a dinickel complex, Ni^IINi^II(bphpp)(AcO)₂ (where NiNi(bphpp) is derived fr
