We report the synthesis of a rigid phosphine-substituted, redox-active pincer ligand and its application to electrocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> reduction with first-row transition metal complexes. The tridentate ligand was prepared by Stille coupling of 2,8-dibromoquinoline and 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine, followed by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with HPPh<sub>2</sub>. Complexes were synthesized from a variety of metal precursors and characterized by NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, e ...[more]
