Electronic structure analysis of electrochemical CO2 reduction by iron-porphyrins reveals basic requirements for design of catalysts bearing non-innocent ligands.

ABSTRACT: Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is a possible solution to the increasing CO2 concentration in the earth's atmosphere, because it enables storage of energy while using the harmful CO2 feedstock as a starting material. Notably, iron(ii) tetraphenylporphyrin, [FeII(TPP)]0 (TPP2- = tetraphenylporphyrin tetra-anion diradical), and its derivatives have been established as one of the most promising families of homogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction into CO. Our earlier work has demonstrated that [Fe(TPP)]2-, a catalytically active species, is best described as an Fe(ii) center antiferromagnetically coupled with a TPP4- diradical. In fact, [Fe(TPP)]2- represents a prototypical example of a
