Abstract
A CoII-porphyrin complex (1) with an appended aza-crown ether for Lewis acid (LA) binding was synthesized and characterized. NMR spectroscopy and electrochemistry show that cationic group I and II LAs (i.e., Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+) bind to the aza-crown ether group of 1. The binding constant for Li+ is comparable to that observed for a free aza-crown ether. LA binding causes an anodic shift in the CoII/CoI couple of between 10 and 40 mV and also impacts the CoIII/CoII couple. The magnitude of the anodic shift of the CoII/CoI couple varies linearly with the strength of the LA as determined by the pKa of the corresponding metal-aqua complex, with dications giving larger shifts than monocations. The extent of the anodic shift of the CoII/CoI couple also increases as the ionic strength of the solution decreases. This is consistent with electric field effects being responsible for the changes in the redox properties of 1 upon LA binding and provides a novel method to tune the reduction potential. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the bound LA is 5.6 to 6.8 Å away from the CoII ion, demonstrating that long-range electrostatic effects, which do not involve changes to the primary coordination sphere, are responsible for the variations in redox chemistry. Compound 1 was investigated as a CO2 reduction electrocatalyst and shows high activity but rapid decomposition.

Abstract
Implementing the synergistic effects between the metal and the ligand has successfully streamlined the energetics for CO2 activation and gained high catalytic activities, establishing the important breakthroughs in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, we describe a Ni(II) N-confused porphyrin complex (NiNCP) featuring an acidic N-H group. It is readily deprotonated and exists in an anion form during catalysis. Owing to this functional site, NiNCP gave rise to an outstanding turnover number (TON) as high as 217,000 with a 98% selectivity for CO2 reduction to CO, while the parent Ni(II) porphyrin (NiTPP) was found to be nearly inactive. Our mechanistic analysis revealed a nonclassical reaction pattern where CO2 was effectively activated via the attack of the Lewis-basic ligand. The resulting ligand-bound CO2 adduct could be further reduced to produce CO. This new metal-ligand synergistic effect is anticipated to inspire the design of highly active catalysts for small molecule activations.

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, NiIINiII(bphpp)(AcO)2 (where NiNi(bphpp) is derived from H2bphpp = 2,9-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-3-pyridylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, which exhibits a remarkable reactivity approximately 5 times higher than that of the mononuclear Ni catalyst. Electrochemical and computational studies have revealed that the redox-active phenanthroline moiety effectively modulates the electron injection and transfer akin to the [Fe3S4] cluster in NiFe-CODH, and the secondary Ni site facilitates the C-O bond activation and cleavage through electron mediation and Lewis acid characteristics. Our work underscores the significant role of bimetallic cooperation in CO2 reduction catalysis and provides valuable guidance for the rational design of CO2RR catalysts.

Abstract
Transforming CO2 into valuable materials is an important reaction in catalysis, especially because CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been growing steadily due to extensive fossil fuel usage. From an environmental perspective, reduction of CO2 to valuable materials should be catalyzed by an environmentally benign catalyst and avoid the use of heavy transition-metal ions. In this work, we present a computational study into a novel iron(I) porphyrin catalyst for CO2 reduction, namely, with a tetraphenylporphyrin ligand and analogues. In particular, we investigated iron(I) tetraphenylporphyrin with one of the meso-phenyl groups substituted with o-urea, p-urea, or o-2-amide groups. These substituents can provide hydrogen-bonding interactions in the second coordination sphere with bound ligands and assist with proton relay. Furthermore, our studies investigated bicarbonate and phenol as stabilizers and proton donors in the reaction mechanism. Potential energy landscapes for double protonation of iron(I) porphyrinate with bound CO2 are reported. The work shows that the bicarbonate bridges the urea/amide groups to the CO2 and iron center and provides a tight bonding pattern with strong hydrogen-bonding interactions that facilitates easy proton delivery and reduction of CO2. Specifically, bicarbonate provides a low-energy proton shuttle mechanism to form CO and water efficiently. Furthermore, the o-urea group locks bicarbonate and CO2 in a tight orientation and helps with ideal proton transfer, while there is more mobility and lesser stability with an o-amide group in that position instead. Our calculations show that the o-urea group leads to reduction in proton-transfer barriers, in line with experimental observation. We then applied electric-field-effect calculations to estimate the environmental effects on the two proton-transfer steps in the reaction. These calculations describe the perturbations that enhance the driving forces for the proton-transfer steps and have been used to make predictions about how the catalysts can be further engineered for more enhanced CO2 reduction processes.

Abstract
Iron porphyrins are among the most studied molecular catalysts for carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction and their reactivity is constantly being enhanced through the implementation of chemical functionalities in the second coordination sphere inspired by the active sites of enzymes. In this study, we were intrigued to observe that a multipoint hydrogen bonding scheme provided by embarked urea groups could also shift the redox activation step of CO2 from the well-admitted Fe(0) to the Fe(I) state. Using EPR, resonance Raman, IR and UV-Visible spectroscopies, we underpinned a two-electron activation step of CO2 starting from the Fe(I) oxidation state to form, after protonation, an Fe(III)-COOH species. The addition of another electron and a proton to the latter species converged to the cleavage of a C-O bond with the loss of water molecule resulting in an Fe(II)-CO species. DFT analyses of these postulated intermediates are in good agreement with our collected spectroscopic data, allowing us to propose an alternative pathway in the catalytic CO2 reduction with iron porphyrin catalyst. Such a remarkable shift opens new lines of research in the design of molecular catalysts to reach low overpotentials in performing multi-electronic CO2 reduction catalysis.

Abstract
CO2 utilization is an important process in the chemical industry with great environmental power. In this work we show how CO2 and H2 can be reacted to form methanol on an iron(II) center and highlight the bottlenecks for the reaction and what structural features of the catalyst are essential for efficient turnover. The calculations predict the reactions to proceed through three successive reaction cycles that start with heterolytic cleavage of H2 followed by sequential hydride and proton transfer processes. The H2 splitting process is an endergonic process and hence high pressures will be needed to overcome this step and trigger the hydrogenation reaction. Moreover, H2 cleavage into a hydride and proton requires a metal to bind hydride and a nearby source to bind the proton, such as an amide or pyrazolyl group, which the scorpionate ligand used here facilitates. As such the computations highlight the non-innocence of the ligand scaffold through proton shuttle from H2 to substrate as an important step in the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Improving our understanding of how molecules and materials mediate the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to upgraded products is of great interest as a means to address climate change. A leading class of molecules that can facilitate the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO) is iron porphyrins. These molecules can have high rate constants for CO2-to-CO conversion; they are robust, and they rely on abundant and inexpensive synthetic building blocks. Important foundational work has been conducted using chloroiron 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPPCl) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. A related and recent report points out that the corresponding perchlorate complex, FeTPPClO4, can have superior function due to its solubility in other organic solvents. However, the importance of hydrogen bonding and solvent effects was not discussed. Herein, we present a detailed kinetic study of the triflate (CF3SO3-) complex of FeTPP in DMF and in MeCN using a range of phenol Brønsted acid additives. We also detected the formation of Fe(III)TPP-phenolate complexes using cyclic voltammetry experiments. Importantly, our new analysis of apparent rate constants with different added phenols allows for a modification to the established mechanistic model for CO2-to-CO conversion. Critically, our improved model accounts for hydrogen bonding and solvent effects by using simple hydrogen bond acidity and basicity descriptors. We use this augmented model to rationalize function in other reported porphyrin systems and to make predictions about operational conditions that can enhance the CO2 reduction chemistry.

Abstract
The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) using sustainable energy inputs is a promising strategy for upcycling of atmospheric carbon into value-added chemical products. This goal has inspired the development of catalysts for selective and efficient CO2 conversion using electrochemical and photochemical methods. Among the diverse array of catalyst systems designed for this purpose, 2D and 3D platforms that feature porosity offer the potential to combine carbon capture and conversion. Included are covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous molecular cages, and other hybrid molecular materials developed to increase active site exposure, stability, and water compatibility while maintaining precise molecular tunability. This mini-review showcases catalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) that incorporate well-defined molecular elements integrated into porous materials structures. Selected examples provide insights into how different approaches to this overall design strategy can augment their electrocatalytic and/or photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity.

Abstract
In this work, new hybrid catalysts based on molecularly dispersed nickel complexes on N-doped graphene were developed for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR). Nickel(II) complexes (1-Ni, 2-Ni), and a new crystal structure ([2-Ni]Me), featuring N4-Schiff base macrocycles, were synthesized and investigated for their potential in ECR. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) in NBu4PF6/CH3CN solution demonstrated that the nickel complexes bearing N-H groups (1-Ni and 2-Ni) showed a substantial current enhancement in the presence of CO2, while the absence of N-H groups ([2-Ni]Me) resulted in an almost unchanged voltammogram. This indicated the necessity of the N-H functionality towards ECR in aprotic media. All three nickel complexes were successfully immobilized on nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) via non-covalent interactions. All three Ni@NG catalysts exhibited satisfactory CO2-to-CO reduction in aqueous NaHCO3 solution with the faradaic efficiency (FE) of 60-80% at the overpotential of 0.56 V vs. RHE. The ECR activity of [2-Ni]Me@NG also suggested that the N-H moiety from the ligand is less important in the heterogeneous aqueous system owing to viable hydrogen-bond formation and proton donors from water and bicarbonate ions. This finding could pave the way for understanding the effects of modifying the ligand framework at the N-H position toward fine tuning the reactivity of hybrid catalysts through molecular-level modulation.

Abstract
In molecular catalysts, protic functional groups in the secondary coordination sphere (SCS) work in conjunction with an exogenous acid to relay protons to the active site of electrochemical CO2 reduction; however, it is not well understood how the acidity of the SCS and exogenous acid together determine the kinetics of catalytic turnover. To evaluate the relative contributions of proton transfer driving forces, we synthesized a series of modular iron tetraphenylporphyrin electrocatalysts bearing SCS amides of tunable pKa (17.6 to 20.0 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) and employed phenols of variable acidity (15.3 to 19.1) as exogenous acids. This system allowed us to (1) evaluate contributions from proton transfer driving forces associated with either the SCS or exogenous acid and (2) obtain mechanistic insights into CO2 reduction as a function of pKa. A series of linear free-energy relationships show that kinetics become increasingly sensitive to variations in SCS pKa when more acidic exogenous acids are used (0.82 ≥ Brønsted α ≥ 0.13), as well as to variations in exogenous acid pKa when SCS acidity is increased (0.62 ≥ Brønsted α ≥ 0.32). An Eyring analysis suggests that the rate-determining transition state becomes more ordered with decreasing SCS acidity, which is consistent with the proposal that SCS acidity modulates charge accumulation and solvation at the rate-limiting transition state. Together, these insights enable the optimization of activation barriers as a function of both SCS and exogenous acid pKa and can further guide the rational design of electrocatalytic systems wherein contributions from all participants in a proton relay are considered.

Abstract
Metallophthalocyanine (PcM) coordination complexes are well-known mediators of the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). They have many properties that show promise for practical applications in the energy sector. Such properties include synthetic flexibility, a high stability, and good efficiencies for the reduction of CO2 to useful feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide (CO). One of the ongoing challenges that needs to be met is the incorporation of PcM into the heterogeneous materials that are used in a great many CO2-reduction devices. Much progress has been made in the last decade and there are now several promising approaches to incorporate PcM into a range of materials, from simple carbon-adsorbed preparations to extended polymer networks. These approaches all have important advantages and drawbacks. In addition, investigations have led to new proposals regarding CO2 reduction catalytic cycles and other operational features that are crucial to function. Here, we describe developments in the immobilization of PcM CO2 reduction catalysts in the last decade (2013 to 2023) and propose promising avenues and strategies for future research.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into value-added products is promising to alleviate greenhouse gas emission and energy demands. Metalloporphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (MN4 -Por-COFs) provide a platform for rational design of electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). Herein, through systematic quantum-chemical studies, the N-confused metallo-Por-COFs are reported as novel catalysts for CO2 RR. For MN4 -Por-COFs, among the ten 3d metals, M = Co/Cr stands out in catalyzing CO2 RR to CO or HCOOH; hence, N-confused Por-COFs with Co/CrN3 C1 and Co/CrN2 C2 centers are designed. Calculations indicate CoNx Cy -Por-COFs exhibit lower limiting potential (-0.76 and -0.60 V) for CO2 -to-CO reduction than its parent CoN4 -Por-COFs (-0.89 V) and make it feasible to yield deep-reduction degree C1 products CH3 OH and CH4 . Electronic structure analysis reveals that substituting CoN4 to CoN3 C1 /CoN2 C2 increases the electron density on Co-atom and raises the d-band center, thus stabilizing the key intermediates of the potential determining step and lowering the limiting potential. For similar reason, changing the core from CrN4 to CrN3 C1 /CrN2 C2 lowers the limiting potential for CO2 -to-HCOOH reduction. This work predicts N-confused Co/CrNx Cy -Por-COFs to be high-performance CO2 RR catalyst candidates. Inspiringly, as a proof-of-concept study, it provides an alternative strategy for coordination regulation and theoretical guidelines for rational design of catalysts.

Abstract
While native CO2 -reducing enzymes display remarkable catalytic efficiency and product selectivity, few artificial biocatalysts have been engineered to allow understanding how the native enzymes work. To address this issue, we report cobalt porphyrin substituted myoglobin (CoMb) as a homogeneous catalyst for photo-driven CO2 to CO conversion in water. The activity and product selectivity were optimized by varying pH and concentrations of the enzyme and the photosensitizer. Up to 2000 TON(CO) was attained at low enzyme concentrations with low product selectivity (15 %), while a product selectivity of 74 % was reached by increasing the enzyme loading but with a compromised TON(CO). The efficiency of CO generation and overall TON(CO) were further improved by introducing positively charged residues (Lys or Arg) near the active stie of CoMb, which demonstrates the value of tuning the enzyme secondary coordination sphere to enhance the CO2 -reducing performance of a protein-based photocatalytic system.

Abstract
Computational quantum chemistry can be more than just numerical experiments when methods are specifically adapted to investigate chemical concepts. One important example is the development of energy decomposition analysis (EDA) to reveal the physical driving forces behind intermolecular interactions. In EDA, typically the interaction energy from a good-quality density functional theory (DFT) calculation is decomposed into multiple additive components that unveil permanent and induced electrostatics, Pauli repulsion, dispersion, and charge-transfer contributions to noncovalent interactions. Herein, we formulate, implement, and investigate decomposing the forces associated with intermolecular interactions into the same components. The resulting force decomposition analysis (FDA) is potentially useful as a complement to the EDA to understand chemistry, while also providing far more information than an EDA for data analysis purposes such as training physics-based force fields. We apply the FDA based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals (ALMOs) to analyze interactions of water with sodium and chloride ions as well as in the water dimer. We also analyze the forces responsible for geometric changes in carbon dioxide upon adsorption onto (and activation by) gold and silver anions. We also investigate how the force components of an EDA-based force field for water clusters, namely MB-UCB, compare to those from force decomposition analysis.

Abstract
We present a supramolecular approach to catalyzing photochemical CO2 reduction through second-sphere porosity and charge effects. An iron porphyrin box (PB) bearing 24 cationic groups, FePB-2(P), was made via post-synthetic modification of an alkyne-functionalized supramolecular synthon. FePB-2(P) promotes the photochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) with 97 % selectivity for CO product, achieving turnover numbers (TON) exceeding 7000 and initial turnover frequencies (TOFmax ) reaching 1400 min-1 . The cooperativity between porosity and charge results in a 41-fold increase in activity relative to the parent Fe tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) catalyst, which is far greater than analogs that augment catalysis through porosity (FePB-3(N), 4-fold increase) or charge (Fe p-tetramethylanilinium porphyrin (Fe-p-TMA), 6-fold increase) alone. This work establishes that synergistic pendants in the secondary coordination sphere can be leveraged as a design element to augment catalysis at primary active sites within confined spaces.

Abstract
Since CO2 can be reutilized by using renewable electricity in form of product diversity, electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) is expected to be a burgeoning strategy to tackle environmental problems and the energy crisis. Nevertheless, owing to the limited selectivity and reaction efficiency for a single component product, ECR is still far from a large-scale application. Therefore, designing high performance electrocatalysts is the key objective in CO2 conversion and utilization. Unlike most other types of electrocatalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have clear, designable, and tunable catalytic active sites and chemical microenvironments, which are highly conducive to establish a clear structure-performance relationship and guide the further design of high-performance electrocatalysts. This Outlook concisely and critically discusses the rational design strategies of MOF catalysts for ECR in terms of reaction selectivity, current density, and catalyst stability, and outlines the prospects for the development of MOF electrocatalysts and industrial applications. In the future, more efforts should be devoted to designing MOF structures with high stability and electronic conductivity besides high activity and selectivity, as well as to develop efficient electrolytic devices suitable for MOF catalysts.

Abstract
Microenvironments tailored by multifunctional secondary coordination sphere groups can enhance catalytic performance at primary metal active sites in natural systems. Here, we capture this biological concept in synthetic systems by developing a family of iron porphyrins decorated with imidazolium (im) pendants for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), which promotes multiple synergistic effects to enhance CO2 RR and enables the disentangling of second-sphere contributions that stem from each type of interaction. Fe-ortho-im(H), which poises imidazolium units featuring both positive charge and hydrogen-bond capabilities proximal to the active iron center, increases CO2 binding affinity by 25-fold and CO2 RR activity by 2000-fold relative to the parent Fe tetraphenylporphyrin (Fe-TPP). Comparison with monofunctional analogs reveals that through-space charge effects have a greater impact on catalytic CO2 RR performance compared to hydrogen bonding in this context.
