| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is to develop a technique to realize the reductive activation of carbon monoxide, which is essential for methanol production by multi-electron reduction of carbon dioxide. In order to establish a method for logically reduction of carbon monoxide, new hetero-binuclear complexes were developped, and their chemical and electrochemical properties and catalytic activity for CO reduction were investigated. New binuclear complexes connecting an Ru complex for capturing and activating carbon monoxide and an Rh complex capable of supplying electrochemically renewable hydride were synthesized and characterized. Electroreduction of the Ru-Rh complex, [(tpy)Ru(CO)(bpp)RhCl(Cp*)](PF6)2, showed generation of MeOH from GC analysis. In addition, from the ESI-MS analysis, the dinuclear structure of the complex was kept after the electroreduction. From these results, the complex is considered to be useful as an electrolytic reduction reaction catalyst for carbon monoxide.
