A series of four electron-deficient-substituted Rea) pyridyl N-heterocyclic carbene (pyNHC) complexes have been synthesized, and their electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis experiments. All of the catalysts were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry under inert atmosphere and under CO2 and compared to the known benchmark catalyst Re(bpy)(CO)(3)Br. Among the four Re-NHC catalysts, Re-(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)(3)Br (2) demonstrated the highest catalytic rate (i(cat)/i(p))(2) at the first and second reduction events with a value of 4 at the second reduction potential (TOF = 0.8 s(-1)). The rate of catalysis was enhanced through the addition of proton sources (PhOH, TFE, and H2O; TOF up to 100 s(-1); (i(cat)/i(p))(2) = 700). Controlled potential electrolysis shows Faradaic efficiencies (FE) for CO production and accumulated charge for the Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)(3)Br catalyst exceed those of the benchmark catalyst in the presence of 2 M H2O (92%, 13 C at 1 h versus 61%, 3 C for the benchmark catalyst) under analogous experimental conditions. A peak FE of 100% was observed during electrolysis with Re(pyNHC-PhCF3)(CO)(3)Br.
