A COreduction system has a cathode in contact with a catholyte. The cathode includes a selectivity-determining layer on an electron conductor. The selectivity-determining layer includes a selectivity-determining component that includes a substituted heterocycle.

Product selectivity for COreduction

Aspects included herein include an electrolytic system for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, the system comprising: a cathode comprising: a porous gas-diffusion membrane permeable to CO; an electrocatalyst layer adjacent to a second side of the gas-diffusion membrane; the electrocatalyst layer comprising: an electrically conductive catalyst; and a selectivity-determining organic material attached to at least a portion of the electrically conductive catalyst; wherein: the organic material is formed of a plurality of oligomers; each oligomer comprises a plurality of covalently bonded base units; each base unit comprises at least one heterocyclic group having at least one nitrogen in its structure; and an anion exchange membrane adjacent to the electrocatalyst layer and positioned between the anode and the cathode; wherein anion exchange membrane is characterized by anion conductivity and the cathode is in ionic communication with the anode via the anion exchange membrane.

Product selectivity for CO2 reduction

This invention relates to molecular catalysts and chemical reactions utilizing the same, and particularly to catalysts and catalytic methods for reduction of molecular nitrogen. The molecular catalytic platform provided herein is capable of the facile reduction of molecular nitrogen under useful conditions such as room temperature or less and atmospheric pressure or less.

Catalytic ammonia synthesis by transition metal molecular complexes

Monomeric metal complexes having improved luminescence properties are provided. In one embodiment, a monomeric metal complex is represented by the formula [PN]M(L). PN is an amidophosphine ligand, and M may be any metal capable of exhibiting luminescent properties, for example, a dmetal. L may be a tertiary phosphine. Alternatively, a second PN ligand or DPPE may take the place of both L ligands.

Emissive monomeric metal complexes

This invention provides an amido ligand and its synthesis. Use of the amide ligand in a variety of metal complexes, and transition metals in particular, is also provided.

Tri-and bidentate amido ligands prepared by palladium0 coupling and metallation thereof to form metal-amido catalysts
