Abstract
A series of 2,2'-dipyridyl ketone (DPK) containing metal complexes have been synthesized with metals including Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Pd, and Pt. These complexes have one, two or three DPK ligands chelated to the metal center. In addition to the DPK ligands the complexes can comprise halogen ligands that can easily exchange with carbon dioxide to allow for reduction to small molecules such as methanol or oxalate. Initial electrochemical measurements show a reversible binding of carbon dioxide to the metal catalyst.
