Abstract

Lending a Hand to CO
2
Reduction

Although plants and microbes have been reducing CO
2
with ease for millennia, people still find it extremely challenging. A cost-effective synthetic scheme for transforming CO
2
into fuels and commodity chemicals would be a double boon, lowering atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas while supplementing (and perhaps ultimately replacing) dwindling petroleum feedstocks. Toward this end,

Costentin
et al.

(p.
90
) show that an iron catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO
2
to CO gets an efficiency boost from phenol substituents appended to the ligand framework.
