Iron‐porphyrin systems are among the best catalysts to reduce selectively CO2 to CO. Electronic modification of the porphyrin skeleton by substituents can enhance the catalytic efficiency of the complexes. In this work, we modified the iron porphyrin complex with crown‐ether auxiliaries and tested the effect of complexation with alkali metals on their electrocatalytic properties for CO2 reduction. The presence of Na+ or K+ resulted in a positive shift of the onset potential by 210 mV while not compromising the catalytic current. This effect was maintained after the immobilization at the vulcanized carbon support, and the catalyst showed the Faradaic efficiency above 90% for CO2 to CO reduction in aqueous solution of NaHCO3 or KHCO3 in a wide range of overpotentials. Hence, host‐guest chemistry at the periphery of the CO2 reduction catalysts can tune the electronic properties of the catalysts and thereby increase the catalytic efficiency.
铁-卟啉系统是将 CO2 选择性还原为 CO 的最佳催化剂之一。通过取代基对卟啉骨架进行电子修饰可以提高络合物的催化效率。在这项工作中,我们用冠醚助剂修饰了铁卟啉配合物,并测试了与碱金属络合对其还原 CO2 的电催化性能的影响。Na+ 或 K+ 的存在导致起始电位正移 210 mV,同时不会影响催化电流。在硫化碳载体上固定后,这种效果得以保持,催化剂在 NaHCO3 或 KHCO3 水溶液中将 CO2 还原为 CO 时,在很宽的过电位范围内,法拉第效率都超过了 90%。因此,二氧化碳还原催化剂外围的主客体化学反应可以调节催化剂的电子特性,从而提高催化效率。

Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLP) have found exciting access in catalysis and small molecule activation. Here, we describe the potential of two vanadium(V) oxido complexes with monoanionic bidentate N,O donors, [VOCl(LCF3)2] (1a), [VOCl(LH)2] (1b) as bases in FLPs. Upon reaction of 1a with the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 the FLP [VOCl(LCF3)2]/B(C6F5)3 (1a/B(C6F5)3) was observed. Addition of Ph3SiH led to the reduction of VV to VIV under formation of the adduct [V{OB(C6F5)3}(LCF3)2] (2a) while FLP reactivity was not observed. Dissolving 2a in CH3CN leads to the VIV oxido complex, [VO(LCF3)2] (3a). In contrast, when 1b was reacted with B(C6F5)3, a VIV oxido complex [VO(LH)2] (3b) was obtained. Upon addition of B(C6F5)3 to 3b no reaction leading to the expected adduct such as 2a could be observed. Only few crystals deriving from a disproportion reaction could be identified as an adduct dimer [V{OB(C6F5)3}LH(μ‐O)]2. While FLP reactivity could not be found yet with the described systems, the redox labile nature and versatility of the metal complexes are demonstrated.

The Front Cover demonstrates the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol catalysed by nickel(II) complexes of aminoquinoline-based pincer ligands with m-CPBA as the oxidant. The crab represents the general structure of ligands, and its claws hold the nickel atom to indicate the coordination mode. A stream of bubbles from the bottom of the circle depicts the supply of m-CPBA oxidant during the reaction. More information can be found in the Research Article by M. Sankaralingam and co-workers.
