Predictive energetic tuning of C-Nucleophiles for the electrochemical capture of carbon dioxide

Summary: This work maps the thermodynamics of electrochemically generated C-nucleophiles for reactive capture of CO2. We identify a linear relationship between the pKa, the reduction potential of a protonated nucleophile (Ered), and the nucleophile’s free energy of CO2 binding (ΔGbind). Through syne...
