title: Nickel N-heterocyclic carbene-pyridine complexes that exhibit selectivity for electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide over water.
abstract: We report a homologous series of nickel(II) complexes supported by N-heterocyclic carbene-pyridine ((R)bimpy, R = Me, Et, Pr) ligands that exhibit high selectivity for reducing carbon dioxide over water under electrocatalytic conditions.
