Brief research details
During my research journey, I have synthesized and characterized various poly-pyridyl ligands, such as 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) and 2,2':2'',6'-terpyridyl (tpy) ligand derivatives, and characterized them using various analytical techniques. These ligands were further complexated with various transition metals, such as rhenium (Re(I)), manganese (Mn(I)), iron (Fe(III)), cobalt (Co(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)). These complexes were mainly studied for their application as molecular catalysts for CO2 reduction in non-aqueous media. The CO2 reduction with these molecular catalysts were studied by both electrochemical and photoreduction pathways in acetonitrile solution.
Apart from this, an attempt was made to synthesize a macrocyclic ligand, containing an alkyl chain tethered to a tpy framework. The main objective for developing this macrocyclic ligand was to deactivate the catalyst deactivation pathway, as reported for the CO2 reduction with Re(I) molecular catalysts and further provide stability to the complex to increase product selectivity.
