Kinetics and thermodynamics of CO<sub>2</sub> binding to a metal centre promotes CO<sub>2</sub> reduction
Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of a series of manganese terpyridine dicarbonyl derivatives (1-5) each covalently bonded to a proximal amide moiety as a proton relay. By finely tuning the kinetics of binding of CO<sub>2</sub> to the metal centre, we improved the turnover frequency (TOF) for the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction reaction (CO<sub>2</sub>RR) from 325 s<sup>-1</sup> to 1359 s<sup>-1</sup>. The performances ranked this series of catalysts among the most promising earth-abundant molecular catalysts for CO<sub>2</sub>-to-CO conversion.
