title = "Ionic-caged heterometallic bismuth-platinum complex exhibiting electrocatalytic CO2 reduction",
abstract = "An air-stable heterometallic Bi-Pt complex with the formula [BiPt(SAc)5]n (1; SAc = thioacetate) was synthesized. The crystal structure, natural bond orbital (NBO) and local orbital locator (LOL) analyses, localized orbital bonding analysis (LOBA), and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements were used to confirm the existence of Bi-Pt bonding and an ionic cage of O atoms surrounding the Bi ion. From the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) experiments, 1 in tetrahydrofuran reduced CO2 to CO, with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 92% and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 8 s-1 after 30 min of CPE at -0.79 V vs. NHE. The proposed mechanism includes an energetically favored pathway via the ionic cage, which is supported by the results of DFT calculations and reflectance infrared spectroelectrochemistry data.",

note = "Funding Information: Part of the experimental results in this research was obtained using supercomputing resources at Cyberscience Center, Tohoku University. The X-ray absorption fine structure was collected on the NW10A beamline in the Photon Factory of the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK, Proposal No. 2017P016, 2018G117). M. Yamashita thanks the support by the 111 Project (B18030) from China. We would like to thank Editage for English language editing.
