title: Facilitated carbon dioxide reduction using a Zn(II) complex.
abstract: Two new Zn(II) complexes have been prepared and evaluated for their capacity to activate and reduce CO2. The electrochemical properties of dichlorobis[diphenyl-(2-pyridyl)phosphine-κ(1)-N]zinc(II) [corrected]. and dichloro[diphenyl-(2-pyridyl)phosphine-κ(1)-N]zinc(II) 2 are compared using cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical results indicate that 2 leads to a facilitated CO2 reduction to evolve CO at a glassy carbon electrode.
