This work focuses on electrochemical and photochemical CO2 reduction with ruthenium catalysts containing N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Mononuclear ruthenium-NHC catalyst, [Ru(tpy)(Mebim-py)(Solvent)]2+,  displays remarkable performance for CO2 reduction. By connecting the [Ru(tpy)(Mebim-py)(Solvent)]2+ and chromophore Ru(bpy)32+through bridge ligands, two dinuclear ruthenium-NHC complexes were successfully synthesized. The two dinuclear complexes show promising performance for both electrochemical and photochemical CO2 reduction.
