Re(pyridine-oxazoline)(CO)3Cl complexes are capable electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction (Inorganic Chemistry, 2017, 56 (6), 3214–3226). To understand better this family of complexes, we have studied the CO2 reduction activity of a series of derivatives. Pyridine-oxazoline ligands with substitutions both in the pyridine ring as well as the oxazoline ring were synthesized and characterized. Rhenium complexes containing those ligands are active catalysts of the aforementioned process. We will present the experimental data and our analysis with the idea of enabling the design of more active and efficient (electro)catalysts for this important reaction.
