Abstract

Successful control over the rate of the organic hydride transfer reaction converting carbon dioxide to formate using a ruthenium NADH model complex, [Ru(bpy)2(pbnHH)](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, pbnHH = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-5,10-dihydrobenzo[b][1,5]naphthyridine) has been accomplished by the tuning of the basicity of the bases. The base adduct being found to be the key compound in the carbon dioxide reduction has been fully characterized through various physicochemical methods.
