Reactivity of a fac-ReCl(α-diimine)(CO)₃complex with an NAD⁺model ligand toward CO₂reduction

Abstract

The reactivity of a rhenium complex containing an NAD(+) model ligand was examined toward photochemical formation of the corresponding NADH-like dihydro form of the complex and electrochemical CO2 reduction. The hydricity of the NADH-like complex was estimated by a thermodynamic cycle and reaction with Ph3C(+).
