Back Cover: Bio-Inspired Bimetallic Cooperativity Through a Hydrogen Bonding Spacer in CO2 Reduction (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 8/2023)
First published: 07 February 2023
Graphical Abstract
Inspired by the active site of CO dehydrogenase, a metalloporphyrin-based mimic has been synthesized combining a multipoint hydrogen bond donor and a bimetallic active centre, as reported by Zakaria Halime, Ally Aukauloo, and co-workers in their Communication (e202214665). The cooperativity between the two metal centres of the catalyst was shown for both homo- and heterobimetallic analogues, leading to a significant enhancement of the catalytic performance in the heterogeneous CO2-to-CO electrocatalytic reduction.
