The selective and energy efficient electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to value added C1 and higher Cn products will allow for the utilization of the overabundant and cheap C1 feedstock CO2. Molecular electrocatalysts are one important class of potential candidates that will allow for tunable catalytic platforms while also providing unique possibilities to study intermediates and interrogate mechanisms. Our most recent results based on the utilization of unusual secondary coordination sphere functional groups will be presented and novel approaches and design principles for tunability of molecular CO2 electro-reduction will be discussed.<br/>
